I'm looking to get rid of the tons of paper I have accumulated over the years and scan it all in to a digital filing system. I'm looking for recommendations on good software solutions to automate/organize this.
I'd like to imagine that I'll be able to go to the store, buy something, bring the receipt home scan it in, and have it OCR'd, dated, then I could manually add a "receipt" tag to it; and it would be filed away indefinitely.
All the data would be stored on my home server, and I intend to use PDF files, and would like the software to support some type of standard, so that if I ever need to switch to a different type of software that I wouldn't have to start from scratch.
Maybe simple directories are the way to go, but I'd like some special indexing for searches of the text within the documents, etc.
Any help is appreciated.
