# Papermerge OSS

Business application

An OCR-oriented document foundation for scanned files, folders, metadata and document organization.

## Why we recommend it

We recommend evaluating Papermerge OSS when you want to build a document product on the Apache-licensed community code.

## When to choose it

- Build a scan-processing workspace or a document archive with your own screens and integrations.

## What to consider

- The OSS codebase and Papermerge Cloud are separate. Verify features against the selected OSS version and budget for its supporting services and migration path.

## Start with this project

Install the chosen OSS release in a test environment and validate OCR, search and access with your own sample documents.
