Paperless NGX is a document management system designed to help users go paperless by digitizing and organizing their documents. It enables users to upload, categorize, and search documents, making document retrieval more efficient. The system uses OCR (Optical Character Recognition) to convert scanned documents into searchable text, allowing for seamless access to the information contained within.
Key Features:
- Organize and index your scanned documents with tags, correspondents, types, and more.
- Your data is stored locally on your server and is never transmitted or shared in any way.
- Performs OCR on your documents, adding searchable and selectable text, even to documents scanned with only images.
- Utilizes the open-source Tesseract engine to recognize more than 100 languages.
- Documents are saved as PDF/A format which is designed for long term storage, alongside the unaltered originals.
- Uses machine-learning to automatically add tags, correspondents and document types to your documents.
- Supports PDF documents, images, plain text files, Office documents (Word, Excel, Powerpoint, and LibreOffice equivalents) and more.
- Paperless stores your documents plain on disk. Filenames and folders are managed by paperless and their format can be configured freely with different configurations assigned to different documents.
- Beautiful, modern web application that features:
- Customizable dashboard with statistics.
- Filtering by tags, correspondents, types, and more.
- Bulk editing of tags, correspondents, types and more.
- Drag-and-drop uploading of documents throughout the app.
