Feel like I’ve been seeing a lot of buzz about Paperless-ngx recently on this sub so I decided to try it out. So far it has worked out great for me. I am currently using my phone as the scanner since it’s cheaper than buying a full on scanner right now. So I’m curious for those using your phones to scan documents and receipts into Paperless-ngx what scanner app do you believe to have the best OCR? Is it Microsoft lens, Google Lookout, Google Stack, Adobe PDF Scanner, Paperless mobile using ngx’s built in OCR or some other app I don’t know about?

Side question. Besides the what is probably a better flow of getting documents into Paperless-ngx by using one of the recommended dedicated scanners, does a scanner improve the performance/search function of Paperless-ngx?

    what?

    And like u/paperjam84 already said, paperless has its own OCR engine that works perfectly fine, for me at least.
