Following on from my earlier message about a suitable scanner, does
anyone have any recommendations for software to manage simple
digitising and archiving of home documents (bills, bank statements,
correspondence, etc).
Ideally for each document I'd like to store an image together with an
OCR of the text embedded in the same file so that it can be located by
a keyword search. The OCR wouldn't have to be fantastically accuarate.
It would also be useful if the software actually managed and indexed
the archive as well, rather than just dumping .pdf files onto your hard
drive and leaving you to sort them out.
This seems to me like a fairly obviously useful application which there
would be a market for and which someone should be producing, but
looking through the archives for this group there I'm not sure there's
anything very good out there.
