What Paperless-ngx does
Paperless-ngx takes in scanned documents, recognises the text and files them by correspondent, document type and tags. Full text is searchable; new documents are sorted automatically based on how you filed earlier ones.
Contracts, invoices, letters and receipts are found in seconds — no binders, no in-tray.
Text recognition in German and English- Automatic assignment of correspondent, type and tags
- Full-text search across every document
- Upload via the interface, email or a consume folder
Good to know before the first start. Text recognition is set to German and English. Upload documents through the interface or drop them into the “consume” folder.
