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.
Why don’t you use the mobile app? Mine works just fine
At least I think it does. Maybe all the docs that I upload are lost. Who knows 😅
Exactly what I came here to say, paperless app already have a scanner no need to fiddle with file sync and stuff 😊
Haha, thanks. I didn’t know this existed! I already use Syncthing, so that’s no problem. And I like that FairScan rotates my picture and adjusts it’s angle. If the Paperless Uploader-app does this as well, I might use it. Taking a look right now!

Last updated 2024/01/26… Hmmm…
edit: checked the wiki, here are the apps for Android
Does it detect the four corners and adjusts the angle to make it flat 2D?
It does, sometimes… but it is not a huge PITA.
I need to see if FairScan would do a better job.
