In my last post of “digitizing your paper invoices and documents“, I provided step by step instructions on how to install Paperless-NGX. I’ve been using this tool to archive my papers, bank statements, receipts, books, whatsoever ever since, it’s an exciting journey that totally transformed my storage of those files.
I also installed an mobile app Paperless on my phone so in most cases, I just use my phone to take a photo and upload it into the backend Paperless-NGX, which converts the photo into PDF and does the OCR automatically.
The mobile app Paperless is not very user friendly as in most cases, I have to manually crop photos and it allows one page only; I recently discovered I can use Microsoft Lens to take photos, save them into PDF, then share with Paperless; This completely changed my user experience as now storing files into your computer is just a few clicks away!
Great thanks to Microsoft Lens, app Paperless, and Paperless-NGX, they just made electronic paper archiving easy and pleasant!
