Readur

Readur is a comprehensive document management platform that leverages advanced OCR technology to transform paper documents, scanned files, and images into searchable digital archives. Built for organizations and individuals managing extensive document collections, Readur automates the tedious process of manually categorizing and indexing files by extracting text content automatically and making every document instantly searchable. The platform has gained adoption among legal practices managing case files, medical offices digitizing patient records, and businesses transitioning from paper-based workflows to digital document management without losing the ability to search through historical archives.

Common Use Cases

Legal firms use Readur to digitize and index years of case files, contracts, and correspondence, with OCR making scanned documents as searchable as born-digital files for rapid discovery during litigation preparation. Medical practices leverage the platform to create HIPAA-compliant digital archives of patient records, prescriptions, and test results, with full-text search enabling quick retrieval during appointments without manual filing systems. Small businesses deploy Readur for invoice and receipt management, automatically processing emailed PDFs and scanned receipts into searchable archives for accounting and tax preparation. Academic researchers use the watch folder feature to automatically process and index downloaded research papers and reference materials, building personal knowledge bases with powerful search capabilities. Home users maintain digital filing cabinets for important documents like tax returns, insurance policies, and warranties, with OCR ensuring even old scanned documents become searchable without manual retyping.

Why deploy Readur on Hostinger VPS

Deploying Readur on Hostinger VPS provides the processing power and storage capacity needed for OCR operations that are computationally intensive and can overwhelm shared hosting environments. Unlike cloud document management services that charge per-page processing fees or impose monthly document limits, your VPS enables unlimited OCR processing at a fixed cost regardless of document volume. The dedicated resources ensure consistent OCR performance even when batch processing hundreds of scanned documents, avoiding the timeouts and failures common in resource-constrained environments where OCR jobs compete with other tenants. With self-hosted infrastructure, sensitive documents remain under your exclusive control without uploading to third-party OCR services that may retain copies, access content for service improvement, or comply with government data requests. The PostgreSQL database provides reliable full-text search indexing that scales efficiently with growing document archives, maintaining fast query performance even with tens of thousands of indexed documents. For organizations with compliance requirements around document retention and data sovereignty—such as legal privilege, medical privacy, or financial regulations—VPS deployment ensures complete auditability of who accessed which documents and when, addressing compliance concerns that make commercial cloud document management unsuitable for regulated industries handling sensitive information.
