FOSS alternatives to document scanner (sh.itjust.works)

submitted 8 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

15 comments fedilink hide all child comments

I need help finding an alternative for a tool like Adobe scan to scan documents and make PDFs out of them. I've tried out OpenScan, while it is decent, the scanner doesn't recognize the page boundaries that well, and adding new pages requires quite a few clicks, which makes scanning long documents cumbersome. Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Another tool is paperless ngx. Although it is a bit more than just a scanner Programm.

I recently found out about this and I love it! Used to use paperwork for my scanning and archiving but paperless ngx is so much better.
