It’s perfect! Do you guys already do this?

I open a letter, I take it’s picture with FairScan. The FairScan-folder on my android device gets syncthinged to the ingest folder for Paperless-ngx on my “server”. Paperless imports it, deletes the file and sets the new documents tag to inbox. I decide if the document goes to the binder for important stuff, or if I just toss it in a binder with all the paper I most likely will never touch again. Next time I look at Paperless, I edit all documents with the inbox tag and remove the tag.

    Similar approach here:

    • Lexmark scanner witg ADF
    • Scan to FTP (SftpGO)
    • Paperless has the FTP folder as ingest

    It doesn’t take more than 10 seconds to scan a doc this way.

      That’s what I do as well. My wife is a teacher and has already trashed heaps of paper handouts she kept for copying. It’s all digitzed now and she had a a von client on her devices so she can access it from school
