You seem to come at this useful tool with a very negative mindset.

- The scanned documents are stored in the filesystem in PDF format, so you can certainly access them without going through the web application.

- OCR doesn't have to be perfect, because it's just being used to locate a specific document when you need it. So if you have 1788 documents and you want to find your apartment lease, you search for "lease" and there's a very good chance that word will be found in the correct document. That's the whole point - storing documents with a low amount of manual effort, in a way that makes it very easy to find them when you need them.
