Tried their demo on mobile.
Is the highlighter for everyone just working, when you start in a non-text area?
If I try to mark just one word in the text, it does nothing. If I start in a non-text area, I can move over the text afterwards.
But highlighting single words or text parts is pretty much the use case for a highlighter.
Maybe it's just my Firefox on android...
I just checked, I usually don't use the app on a mobile device. If you want to highlight text on mobile:
I haven't used PDFDing before but honestly that description sounds a bit unituitive to me. I would expect to select the color first and then markt the text but maybe this is just because I haven't seen the interface
There is not much I can do as this functionality is provided by mozilla's pdf.js library (this also powers the pdf reader of firefox).
Congratulations! Looking forward to trying this :)
I am considering switching from paperless but I can't find anything about ocr. Does anybody know?
Currently, there is no ocr. I also don't know if I'll add at some point in the future. It kinda clashes with the philosophy of keeping it simple and minimal as it is quite resource hungry.
Ah didnt even realize you are the dev. Thanks for the work you put Into this!
I get that ocr clashes but for me it is mostly scanned documents that are not really useable without ocr. I imagine a lot of people face the same situation. Either way I understand your position on this.
Either way, great project!
Why not paperless? I've thought of trying out paperless-ngx but would like to hear about your experiences with it or other thoughts about it.
Paperless ngx has been a game changer for me. I only wish I had a better scanner, or more specifically, a sheet feed scanner which would make scanning stacks of papers way easier.
I’d say give it a shot. All your PDFs are stored nicely in one directory (PDFs are sorted in app by tags) so it’s easy to migrate if you need.
Depends on your workflow.
In short, it's great for single user, single workflow cases, but not so much for just ingesting all kinds of docs and having truly helpful doc processing.
It's hungry in resources. But most of all it's complex. It's more suited for medium sized company's or at least it feels like that.
I can’t anything about ocr?
Sorry typo. Find
