Scansnap – Day 1
Yeah! I spent all day scanning my documents.. a task that would have normally been EXTREMELY tedious with my flatbed scanner. I wish I would have spent the cash for this ScanSnap S510M long ago! I scanned over 1000 documents!!
I’m using YEP to organize them with various tags.
I’m using the bundled FineReader to do text recognition on most of them
Amazing. They currently only take up 810MB, but I figure it will triple after they’ve been re-written with text under them.
Awesome. It is so nice having access to these files, but not having to deal with the actual paper items themselves.
Next up, buying a shredder for all my old bank receipts and other old sensitive materials.. I’m going to buy a REAL shredder too.. the ones that rip the paper into bits. I’ve always thought those were better than the ones that turn them into strips instead.
