Arranging scanned document

by BarRuthim Apr 26, 2008 10:53PM PDT

Hi

I'm currently scanning my documents and arranging them as jpegs on computer folders but I feel its a terrible solution...

Could someone recommend a utility (no too expensive = <50$)
if you have open source thats better!

Thanks

What exactly do you mean with that, and how do you think the process could be automated?

Let me guess: you want to put all documents containing the word "Cnet" in the folder "useful info" and all other documents in the folder "trash". But, of course, it might be something else.

Depending on what you want to scan.

You can scan documents and save them as jpegs.

You can also scan documents. I scan documents and scan them to Open Office. It will save them as a document. This way, I can edit then, if I'd like. I can also search the folder I have the documents in and find the exact document that has those words.

Open Office is FREE and can be downloaded here.
