At the event <a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2013/04/apple-to-update-os-x-and-ios-at-wwdc.html">Apple</a> will detail "the future of <a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2013/05/prizmo-20-for-ios-released-with-cool.html">iOS</a> and OS X." Apple is a leader in integrated <a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2011/12/ios-5-camera-accessibility.html">accessibility</a> with their <a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2013/05/kindle-app-for-ios-updated-with.html">VoiceOver</a> screen reader and numerous other accessibility features such as <a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2013/04/use-guided-access-for-ios-to-safely.html">Guided Access</a>, <a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2012/10/how-to-use-ios-6-speak-selection-with.html">Speak Selection</a>, <a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2012/11/nook-app-for-ios-updated-to-support.html">Zoom</a>, and <a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2011/07/what-is-assistive-touch.html">Assistive Touch</a>. That being said Apple still needs to improve their accessibility features to remain a leader. New accessibility features have routinely been added to new versions of iOS. Last year, Apple added Guided Access along with other accessibility improvements. A new version of iOS is exciting not only because of the cool mainstream features but the lesser known, but no less important accessibility features that make the devices usable for so many.

Prizmo 2.0 for iOS Released With Cool New Features

<div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/9Gc4yux5Jgg?rel=0" width="560"></iframe><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://mac101.net/wp-content/themes/mac101/inc/timthumb.php?src=http://mac101.net/thumbnails/Prizmo_appicon.jpg&h=140&w=140&zc=1" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://mac101.net/wp-content/themes/mac101/inc/timthumb.php?src=http://mac101.net/thumbnails/Prizmo_appicon.jpg&h=140&w=140&zc=1" /></a><a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2012/01/prizmo-great-accurate-full-featured-ocr.html">Prizmo</a> 2.0 for <a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2013/05/kindle-app-for-ios-updated-with.html">iOS</a> was just released in the App Store. Prizmo now works on the iPad as well as the iPhone and iPod Touch. The update includes many exciting new features. The original version of Prizmo included optical character recognition (<a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2012/12/paperport-notes-app-adds-ocr.html">OCR</a>) but did not include the ability to <a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2013/01/hovercam-portable-scanner-and-document.html">scan</a> documents to a <a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2012/11/pdf-expert-review.html">PDF</a> or text file. The PDF files are not just images but include searchable text. Prizmo 2.0 also allows users to export the documents to other apps.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">To create a new document in Prizmo you can simply take a picture of multiple pages. Prizmo will automatically detect the edges of the page. In version 2.0 you no longer have to crop documents manually. Once you have captured all of the pages you can recognize the text of the document which is surprisingly fast and accurate. If the Prizmo does make a mistake you can edit the OCR zones or manually edit the text. After the text has been recognized you can email or export the document as a PDF or text document or read the text using built-in <a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2011/12/add-quick-text-to-speech-button-to.html">text-to-speech</a>. The text is highlighted as it is read aloud which can be helpful for people with dyslexia  Unfortunately you can only read one page of the document at a time using the built-in <a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2011/12/add-quick-text-to-speech-button-to.html">text-to-speech</a>. In addition, it is important to note that each <a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2011/12/add-quick-text-to-speech-button-to.html">text-to-speech</a> voice costs $2.99.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Prizmo is still a great tool for quickly reading printed documents using <a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2011/12/add-quick-text-to-speech-button-to.html">text-to-speech</a> and now is one of the best PDF scanning apps. Most PDF scanning apps such as <a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2012/02/scanner-pro-review.html">Scanner Pro</a> only make an image PDF with no text but Prizmo creates PDFs with searchable text.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Prizmo 2.0 includes a new feature to help blind and visually impaired users line-up a document. Because it would be virtually impossible for the blind to take a well aligned picture of a document with out assistance Prizmo voices directions through <a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2013/05/kindle-app-for-ios-updated-with.html">VoiceOver</a>. If a user has <a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2013/05/kindle-app-for-ios-updated-with.html">VoiceOver</a> turned on it will tell a blind or visually impaired user which direction to move their device in order to get the perfect shot.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&ved=0CC8QFjAA&url=https%3A%2F%2Fitunes.apple.com%2Fus%2Fapp%2Fprizmo-scanning-ocr-speech%2Fid366791896%3Fmt%3D8&ei=-ROQUcGHH63F4AP34oCQCw&usg=AFQjCNHyOKTLbhz05uGmmTXwyGag_IRJOw&bvm=bv.46340616,d.dmg">Prizmo is on sale for $5.99 in the App Store.</a> Click read more below to view screenshots of Prizmo 2.0.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><a name="more"></a><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOQyTgzip6mznhlnbk9OXEKE6G_WsH6_XyxAyFm9XT61LITeAkVmlY2lNrwVxFAwoNPv8uMMYZZ0QHzk4XZ91ttP57VfQo0jnHpU9KUYSUKAkrJx-V6JOpZTufPnsYHr2o0kUtIxaDofc/s1600/photo+1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOQyTgzip6mznhlnbk9OXEKE6G_WsH6_XyxAyFm9XT61LITeAkVmlY2lNrwVxFAwoNPv8uMMYZZ0QHzk4XZ91ttP57VfQo0jnHpU9KUYSUKAkrJx-V6JOpZTufPnsYHr2o0kUtIxaDofc/s320/photo+1.JPG" width="213" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi96URsvgglUYBGAU7pX_oigwEOaWEJvPAp4-t948QmOv4k4mGPaF2NrW5lUiZUN10qxiLcfmpSysxR2i0u2GARof6YI_W7Iy00B6qM2q2k-LYydZTru7fC-0-Nxx6zzkaAbO69eYr6eZU/s1600/photo+2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi96URsvgglUYBGAU7pX_oigwEOaWEJvPAp4-t948QmOv4k4mGPaF2NrW5lUiZUN10qxiLcfmpSysxR2i0u2GARof6YI_W7Iy00B6qM2q2k-LYydZTru7fC-0-Nxx6zzkaAbO69eYr6eZU/s320/photo+2.JPG" width="213" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDlEORFZkPTwI44q5QpxeoFQ_g0LDkFlvbp8WNtd6AlAA6PBWANZiQmWtTcL9sZVAoH2g_te4123DqZzsBDqEdlgD-5GroBgRpGue2FaKERck6TNyVWuVy_lr-QmH7kvZaelhS3UnOfko/s1600/photo+3.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDlEORFZkPTwI44q5QpxeoFQ_g0LDkFlvbp8WNtd6AlAA6PBWANZiQmWtTcL9sZVAoH2g_te4123DqZzsBDqEdlgD-5GroBgRpGue2FaKERck6TNyVWuVy_lr-QmH7kvZaelhS3UnOfko/s320/photo+3.JPG" width="213" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsOKMjmayCni8TS4pDTX5gMXbmCMxarhuyxhxlwPUImeCwZKUJHn8zIJ0KXGCwYNqpw4YTnhZ7s5CVyoKdORwNnvBMqj5KWm88atpGld_qRKiQNXG6Eb7xQKqNyplHwum1hpC8HCQaiFg/s1600/photo+4.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsOKMjmayCni8TS4pDTX5gMXbmCMxarhuyxhxlwPUImeCwZKUJHn8zIJ0KXGCwYNqpw4YTnhZ7s5CVyoKdORwNnvBMqj5KWm88atpGld_qRKiQNXG6Eb7xQKqNyplHwum1hpC8HCQaiFg/s320/photo+4.JPG" width="213" /></a></div></div>
