Its Android and iOS apps provide unlimited scans on the free plan, and a Windows desktop version is also available. Scanning and OCR happen locally on the device. Docutain says it uses encryption and password protection, does not pass personal data to third parties, and is GDPR-compliant. Users can optionally connect cloud providers and choose where documents are stored, or share scans by email, local folders or messenger apps. The Windows version accepts email, folder and scanner inputs. A desktop license covers up to three devices, while the mobile apps can be used on any number of the user's mobile devices. The SDK offers document scanning, barcode scanning and data extraction for Android, iOS or Windows apps. Windows desktop and Premium plans include a 14-day trial that ends without automatic purchase.
