Cool project!

Related tangent: I haven't looked into OCR, but for a simple "iPhone camera to 'scanned' PDF", the Dropbox iOS app has a surprisingly good implementation.

I prefer not to upload all my potentially private documents into a cloud service :)

OCRmyPDF (https://ocrmypdf.readthedocs.io/) actually does a pretty good job! It also handles deskewing and all other stuff that's necessary for good OCR results.

Well yeah, that's legit. My point was that for those of us who already choose to rely on Dropbox, it's a great little feature to be aware of.

I use the "Files" application from Apple, and it works pretty well too.

I was surprised, and have largely made it my ingress for receipts/paperwork.
