adobe acrobats ocr is a great thing. on the screen you see the scanned pages perfectly readable and in the backgroud there is the ocr processed text. so the docs get searchable but remain readable and don’t get messed up. of course there’ll be errors in the ocr, so the search might not find everything but that’s better than a nonsearchable paper file.

Brian,
Interesting idea. The main reason why I chose not to use PDF-output thought was due to the file size. If I instead went with a JPEG and then converted to PDF with PDFLab, I cut the file-size in half,while quality stayed the same.

If you do go a head and write you software, please let me know how it worked out.

I do something similar to this.

I have a HP Laserjet 3030. It has a ADF and can scan something like 10-12 pages (single-sided that is) per minute.

The nicest feature is that when I put a document in the ADF, the HP Scan software pops up in OS X ready to “scan all” and save directly to a PDF.

I use QuickSilver instead of Yep, the Finder, Spotlight, to find my scanned documents.

I just use a simple naming convention for files. I create folders for logical groups like “taxes”, “school”, “bills” and folders therein.

Each document is named using YEAR-TAG-TAG-TAG-…-TAG.pdf (e.g. taxes/2005-federal-taxes.pdf).

No, this doesn’t address the OCR problem but I’m not saving tons of text at the moment, mostly financial documents, bills, etc. I usually type my course notes during class using my laptop anyway… heh.

Hmmm I did just AI and Computer Vision courses. Maybe I have a summer project: write software that does this entire process from the ground up. :-)
