Scanyonero

A tool for preprocessing scanned documents before they are sent to paperless. Simply point your scanner to the FTP server this software provides, and it will do the rest.

Features

  • Built in FTP server, and therefore no need for temporary files or any other Rube Goldberg-esque setups.
  • Web-app where you can preview, sort, split and merge your scans before sending them to paperless.
  • Can use OCRmyPDF for adding searchable text to your scanned documents.
  • Can clean up documents and make them as pristine and compact as possible.

Usage

TODO: Update README.md

  1. Install the project somewhere.
  2. Edit main.go to use the correct paths to your scanner and paperless consumption directories.
  3. Copy the ocrmypdf-runner.service into your systemd services directory (etc/systemd/system/ocrmypdf-runner.service). You may have to change the user in the service file.
  4. systemctl daemon-reload
  5. systemctl enable ocrmypdf-runner.service
  6. systemctl start ocrmypdf-runner.service
