Thank you for your great review! We’re glad you like Docutain. It is designed to scan documents and recognize flat text using OCR, so we’re not entirely sure what you mean by the “flat text/page feature.” Could you please contact our support at "support@docutain.de" with a short explanation? We’d be happy to clarify this and help you further.
