   I wish I had an automated way to scan documents. I am absolutely inundated with papers. I just want them scanned in to Paperless. Then I can sort through what needs to be kept. But the task is so fucking tedious. I don't have a sheet feeder. I'm not even really naming them, since I don't really care about filenames if I'm using Paperless, and still, tedious and brain doesn't want to do it.

     @hellomiakoda I have a foldable scanner that is nothing but a sheet feeder. It still jams more than I’d like but is more reliable than what I ever had before and it was cheaper than a bed scanner with a sheet feeder or a crap printer that won’t scan without ink.

     Nearly as good as is this box with a cutout to hold a phone and just putting a stack of paper in it, pushing the shutter button, and then pulling a paper. Tedious but it never jams.

     @joshrivers Mine's a thin bed scanner. Bed scanners are a must for me cause papers are often wrinkled or creased by the time I get them in the scanner. I've had the kind that just suck through a sheet, and I just get frustrated.
