I feed it scans, it runs OCR, and every invoice, letter and warranty becomes full-text searchable in a tidy web interface. What it never solved was the tedious half: putting each document in the right place. A fresh scan lands with no tags, no correspondent, and a filename like <code>scan_0042.pdf</code>, and unless I stop and classify it by hand, my archive slowly rots into a searchable-but-unsorted heap. For a while I did the classifying. Then I got a local language model reading the OCR text and doing it for me, offline, and I stopped touching the pile entirely.</p>Sun, 22 Sep 2024 09:19:00 +0000
