Automatic OCR of what? The entire document?

What type of documents? No cloud because of a regulation?

Once you have the document what are you going to do with it?

ORC from pictures of Snail-Mail and Bills.

No cloud because of personal preference.

I want OCR mainly for full-text search (so it does not have to be perfect or detect columns)

I want to put all my mail in a shoebox and only if I really need the original I want to dig through it again (hopefully I can estimate at which height in the box by the position of the files in their equivalent folder).
