    Ever since text processors became popular, users have
    dreamt of handling documents printed on paper as comfortably
    as electronic ones, with full text search typically
    appearing very close to the top of the wish list.
    This paper presents the design of a prototype system that
    takes a step into this direction. The user’s desktop is continuously
    monitored and of each detected document a high
    resolution snapshot is taken using a digital camera. The
    resulting image is processed using specially designed dewarping
    and OCR algorithms, making a digital and fully
    searchable version of the document available to the user in
    real-time. These steps are performed without any user interaction.
    This enables the system to run as a background
    task without disturbing the user in her work, while at the
    same time offering electronic access to all paper documents
    that have been present on the desktop during the uptime of
    the system.
