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.

Thanks! And that's ok, I'm more interested in the steps than the code itself. Do you apply any optimizations with image magik in step 2?

    Yeah, I do this:

    magick "$file" -limit memory 1GiB -limit map 2GiB -threshold 60% -define connected-components:area-threshold=5 -define connected-components:mean-color=true -connected-components 8 output.png

    It makes the scan 1-bit black and white. It mostly removes bright background images, if there are any on the pages. I think it works quite well for basic black and white documents, but color graphics and graphs aren't preserved.
