I just received my new impulsive purchase. A ScanSnap 510M scanner (Fujitsu, about 500€) to connect on my mac book at home and scan everything that comes in.

Well, after 15 minutes, I must say I am impressed.

I put a document in printed on both sides … push scan, the scanning takes about 2s ! .. and it scans both sides at once !

Then ABBY fine reader starts it’s OCR process and after 10s I have a fully searchable PDF ..

I’ll post some examples soon.

Next steps : Use YUM on osx to manage by paperless office.
