Paper

Bramble Paper turns scans, photos, PDFs and Office files into a searchable, well-labelled archive. Open it at /paper on your organisation's address.

#How it works

1. Documents come in: upload them, photograph them on your phone, drop them into a cabinet's Drive library, or have Paper collect them from a mailbox (for example, the one your scanner sends to).
2. Paper reads them. Text recognition picks out every word, even from a photo. Word, Excel and PowerPoint files are converted and read too.
3. Paper labels them: tags, who it's from (correspondent) and what it is (document type), using rules you write or by learning from how you've labelled similar documents.
4. You find them with full-text search and saved views.

#Where documents are kept

Cabinets are Drive libraries, including Sites' libraries, so documents stay in Drive with Drive's sharing, versions and bin. Paper adds the reading, labelling and searching on top.

Text recognition happens inside Bramble: your documents aren't sent to any outside service.
