Re: Unable to identify individual objects using objectSpy in TestComplete

The TestComplete Inteligent Quality Add-On might do the trick if what you're trying to find is/has text.  It can find text items in a 'flat' canvas like you described.

The downsides are it costs more $$$, may not be reliable and requires an internet connection to send out the UI item for OCR recognition.  

On the bright side I think you can get a free trial to at least see if it will work for your needs.
