YSK About NAPS2 - the free and open source document scanning software
NAPS2 (Not Another PDF Scanner.) Free versions for Linux, Windows, and Mac are available for download. Simple interface but fully featured, NAPS2 is much better than the overly bloated proprietary software that comes with most document scanners. Compatible with many devices.

Better than any proprietary scanning software I've worked with. Highly recommend.
This does sound great. I really do want to move bills older than 6 months (and other records in general) backed up to my PC as well as cloud storage.
Do you have any recommendations on this sort of thing? Ideally, something that scans with OCR and makes things searchable. Failing that, I may have a project for myself to do…

I think I phrased this badly. I wanted effectively a digital filing cabinet software with OCR/tagging—not just OCR alone. It looks like paperless-ngx ticks all those boxes.
Take a look at Mayan-EDMS too
Wait, a scanner software with built-in OCR? That sounds awesome.
Nop, I should block you
