Personal document management
Our new copier in the office has this killer scanner. Great sheet feeder, and willl email yoru scanned docs as a pdf to you.
Given that I have scads of storage available now, it has made me realize it is now time to start scanning and saving all important documents. I always have trouble finding various personal legal documents. Well no more.
A question I have tho is how to manage all this content. I am going to end up with a lot of imaged documents. I wonder if all the free photo management apps like Picasa can handle pdfs? i’d love to have all the photo management features — tagging, timeline view, etc.
John,
I work in the industry, and there are MANY vendors out there, with similar features. The 3 things we look for are:
1) Open file formats
2) Open Acrhitecture
3) N-Tier Scalable Design
If you want me to email you a whitepaper, send me an e-mail or IM me.
Cheers,
Dan

Check out this nifty little scanner with desktop software that uses OCR to indexes the contents and dumps them into a secure SQL database for you.

funny, i have a neatreceipts machine sitting on my desk, i’ve never opened. there is no way it can compete with the sheet-feeding monster copier we have at the office on the hardware side, but maybe i can use the ocr software in it separately?
John, what kind of copier did your office get?
it is a ricoh provided by ikon business systems. i can’t find the freaking model number, i think they hide it and the brand on purpose so that our attachment is with ikon, not with the ricoh X37SuperJJ+ Model
