Home scanner workflow

So I’ve got a workflow where I’ve used a combination of FOSS CLI tool and Hazel to OCR, rename, and properly file paper documents.

Pretty nifty and easy trick. I use OCRmyPDF with a couple arguments to remove the papers background and straighten it along with OCRing the scans. I’ve set this up through an automator service/quick action.

From there Hazel does the rest automatically.
