Docutain is used internationally in apps and software products across a wide range of industries:
Document Scanning
Auto-cropping & arranging
Docutain automatically detects the edges of the document in real-time during the scan, so the scan gets cropped to only show the document without any background.
Perspective correction
Users tend to scan from a tilted angle to avoid shadows. No worries, Docutain automatically uses perspective correction to show a straight scan.
Curvature correction & straightening
Thanks to automatic straightening, Docutain corrects curvatures and corrects edges of book pages or documents that may have been folded several times.
Automatic filters
To receive the perfect scan result, Docutain offers several filters to clean the background, remove artifacts like shadows, reduce noise and increase clarity of the image. This enables better follow-up processing, e.g. OCR text recognition.
Additional filters
Besides automatic filters, users have several filter-options, e.g. black-and-white, grayscale, light text, which they can apply to documents to improve scan quality and readability.
Batch Scanning
Users can scan multiple pages during one scanning sessions without interruption at maximum speed.
Customizable scan components
The Document Scanner SDK components can be configured and designed to suit individual customer needs.
Ready-to-use Payment Workflow
A complete UI guides users from camera capture or file import to a payment draft that can be reviewed before authorization.
Invoices & GiroCodes
Use one workflow for invoice OCR and EPC QR codes, whether the input comes from the camera, an image or a PDF.
Structured Payment Data
Return recipient, a validated IBAN, amount and payment reference in a structured result for the bank's own approval flow.
Local Processing
Invoice images and recognized payment data are processed locally without an external recognition server.
