Paperwork

Description

Paperwork is a personal document manager for scanned documents (and PDFs).

It's designed to be easy and fast to use. The idea behind Paperwork is "scan & forget": You should be able to just scan a new document and forget about it until the day you need it again.

In other words, let the machine do most of the work for you.

Details

Papers are organized into documents. Each document contains pages.

It mainly uses:

Sane/Pyinsane: To scan the pages
Tesseract/Pyocr: To extract the words from the pages (OCR)
GTK: For the user interface
Whoosh: To index and search documents, and provide keyword suggestions
Simplebayes: To guess the labels
Pillow/Libpillowfight: Image manipulation

Automated tests

Paperwork has automated tests. These tests are designed in a unusual manner: They use screenshots (aka "May work or may not work. Do you feel lucky today ?"). Because these screenshots change often and are heavy (compared to source files), they are stored in a separate Git repository: paperwork-tests
