Hi Judy - I tried Clooz when it first came out & found it awkward & hard to use. No doubt it has morphed into something much more user friendly.
You write, "You extract all the information from a document..." does that mean I must enter/type each & every will, probate, census, biography and so on - into this program. That seems very labor intensive - is it?
