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.

It's worth mentioning Paperless Mobile is now v4 with the last update being posted 5 days ago!

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.
