Paperwork is a personal document manager. It manages scanned documents and PDFs.

It's designed to be easy and fast to use. The idea behind Paperwork is "scan & forget": You can just scan a new document and forget about it until the day you need it again.

In other words, let the machine do most of the work for you.

• Scan
• Automatic detection of page orientation
• OCR
• Document labels
• Automatic guessing of the labels to apply on new documents
• Search
• Keyword suggestions
• Quick edit of scans
• PDF support

Papers are organized into documents. Each document contains pages.

Note regarding updates: If you're upgrading from a previous version installed with pip, it is strongly recommended you uninstall it first before installing the new version.

If you used the installer from OpenPaper, Paperwork can be uninstalled like any other Windows application (something like Control Panel --> Applications --> Uninstall).

If you installed it manually (for development), you can follow the same process than for GNU/Linux
