Does anyone run one of the above on a Pi 4 and can share their experience how good or bad they run?

If course, transcoding won't be any good and OCR probably cannot run in parallel, but aside from that - is it okay?

Currently running everything on a mini ITX with a i5-6600 which handles this easily for my small use cases, but also draws 20-30W idling most of the day... I'm eyeing a Pi 4b with 8gb RAM but don't want to spend the money and then realizing that it doesn't run smooth enough

Ja, weniger Worker, dann dauert das OCR eben Mal länger. Da das eher selten ich muss das Dokument sofort im Paperless anschauen, kann das meinetwegen auch seine Minuten brauchen.

Bin bisher auch noch nicht 100% auf den Workflow eingeschossen:

MakeACopy macht ganz gutes OCR auf dem Handy, die Scans sind aber oft etwas wackelig.
FairScan macht sehr gute PDFs, aber kein OCR
Ich habe einen Scanner, der natürlich bei 600DPI nahezu perfekte Kopien macht, die ich auf dem PC per Shell in Sekunden durch OcrMyPDF jagen kann für extrem gute Ergebnisse. Aber>5 Seiten per Hand auf dem Scannerbett... das ist dann schon nervig
