About Paperwork

Paperwork converts scanned papers into searchable documents that can be found by keywords, including across PDF files. Users can add labels to documents, and the software learns placement patterns to apply labels to new documents automatically.

All documents are stored under a single directory using JPEG, hOCR and PDF formats, which supports backup and syncing with tools such as Nextcloud, Syncthing, SparkleShare or shared folders. It also provides automatic page orientation detection and page editing.
