Re: Home document management?



Hiya Paul!

One of the chaps at work champions Google Desktop to do searches. If you
scan your documents into a pdf file, there's a Google desktop plugin
that will OCR the pdf's and make them searchable too (from what I can
remember - it will ocr other image formats as well).

http://desktop.google.com/plugins/i/omnipagesearch.html?hl=en

That may work :)
