Paperless Office & Search

Vault Paperless - Scanning, OCR & Search

Digitize paper archives and make documents searchable with scanning, OCR, indexing, metadata, preview and fast full-text retrieval.

The operational idea

Start with the problem, not the product.

SRV software projects are designed around specific working processes, with technology used to remove repetitive steps and make information easier to control.

Paper archives consume space, and scanned PDFs are still hard to find if nobody can search inside them.

Large paper cabinets and image-only scans make information slow to retrieve. Even after scanning, users can lose time opening files one by one when they need a specific name, clause, invoice, reference number or phrase buried inside hundreds or thousands of pages.

Separate capture from processing, then search the result like information.

Vault Paperless supports high-volume scanning during working hours, with OCR and indexing able to continue as background/batch work later. Users can then search document content, combine keywords with metadata and preview the matching pages directly from the results.

Capabilities

What the solution can do.

A concise view of the functions and design principles that make this application useful in day-to-day work.

01

High-volume scanning

Capture printed documents and associate useful metadata such as references, categories or case information.

02

Batch OCR & indexing

Queue scanned documents so OCR and indexing can continue later, including overnight processing.

03

Full-text search

Search inside indexed documents instead of relying only on filenames.

04

Metadata + content

Combine a keyword with business metadata to narrow results to the exact case or document set.

05

Search preview

Preview matching content and navigate large documents directly from the result screen.

06

Excel export

Export search results to Excel for analysis, review or collaboration.

07

Existing-file search

Search Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF, email, text, web-page and image content supported by the underlying index.

08

Active Directory security

Use existing Windows/Active Directory file permissions so users only see files they are already authorized to access.

09

No forced document migration

The documented approach can index documents where they already reside rather than moving them into a proprietary container.

How it works

A workflow people can understand.

The exact configuration can be adapted, but the core process remains intentionally straightforward.

Step 01

Scan

Digitize paper and add the business metadata that will help identify the material later.

Step 02

OCR & index

Run OCR and indexing in batch jobs so scanned pages become searchable text.

Step 03

Search

Search by content alone or combine keywords with metadata and date/folder criteria.

Step 04

Preview & use

Open the matching page, review the document and export result lists when further analysis is useful.
