    I would like to be able to scan files to a folder through my Scansnap where they re each automatically OCR'd. I would then like to have a program that automatically scans the files and sorts them to folders named after a list of words. So, if a file is scanned and has the name "Freddy Stevens" in it, it would automatically move it to that folder.

    Anyone know of a way to do this?

    I just heard about an app called Hazel that should be able to do that. I havn't had a chance to try it myself yet.
    I heard about on the podcast Mac Power Users.
