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>

Prizmo Vs. TextDetective OCR iPhone App Challange

<div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/rGh4BYMnlJY" width="560"></iframe></div><br /><a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2012/01/prizmo-great-accurate-full-featured-ocr.html">Prizmo</a> and TextDetective are optical charactor recognition (<a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2012/01/prizmo-great-accurate-full-featured-ocr.html">OCR</a>) apps for the <a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2011/10/iphone-4s-accessibility-features.html">iPhone</a>. These apps use the iPhone camera to take a picture of a document and then convert the text on the paper to digital text. Because the apps rely on the <a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2011/10/iphone-4s-accessibility-features.html">iPhone</a> camera they work best on the <a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2011/10/iphone-4s-accessibility-features.html">iPhone 4S</a>. The apps were compared using a complex image with multiple images and columns. Both apps were used in a room with good lighting. Watch the video above to learn more about each of the apps.<br /><br /><a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2012/01/prizmo-great-accurate-full-featured-ocr.html">Prizmo</a> costs $9.99 in the App Store. <a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=prizmo%20app&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CEoQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fitunes.apple.com%2Fus%2Fapp%2Fprizmo-document-scanning-ocr%2Fid366791896%3Fmt%3D8&ei=VUQZUMenFISj6wGUyoHQAw&usg=AFQjCNGSgD7qzmoUoMeHdUM9tey2fKtQ2A&sig2=H0T8OBWuQ3yRpildkHC7rA">Click here</a> to download <a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2012/01/prizmo-great-accurate-full-featured-ocr.html">Prizmo. Prizmo</a> is the fastest most accurate user friendly <a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2012/01/prizmo-great-accurate-full-featured-ocr.html">OCR</a> app that I have ever tested. It is designed for sighted users. It allows you to crop and edit the picture before you start the <a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2012/01/prizmo-great-accurate-full-featured-ocr.html">OCR</a> process. Once the text has been recognized you can read it using text-to-speech, email it or copy the text. It is important to note that users with visual impairments may have a hard time taking pictures of the documents they want to <a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2012/01/prizmo-great-accurate-full-featured-ocr.html">OCR</a>. It also is impossible for a visually impaired user to crop the document to improve the accuracy. That being said for sighted users very easy to use.<br /><br />TextDetective costs $1.99 for a limited time. <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/textdetective/id541494875?mt=8">Click here</a> to download TextDetective. TextDetective is designed for people with visual impairments. The app is designed to make taking a picture of a document easy for the visually impair. In my tests I had a hard time taking a clear picture of a whole document. I could successfully capture a clear picture of one or two paragraphs. TextDetective was less accurate and slower than Prizmo. One problem I found is that TextDetective only works in landscape orientation but most documents are in portrait orientation. The orientation of the app makes it difficult to  take a crisp picture of the page. In all for only $1.99 TextDetective may be worth a try.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOU8-KRX_nKBrdWkxGkKPLb0PblE2jzaZDPYi2vlgrNdvWFwlY7DXmqyjzkPGYPj9XE9PQWEADZTqxh8VTtq33TPBF5tFVEBXVIheQ7UM25fTcuJHXzPw_Io5nZe4TzvEkJoHXvJgv9kE/s1600/iTunesArtwork.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="blindsight" border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOU8-KRX_nKBrdWkxGkKPLb0PblE2jzaZDPYi2vlgrNdvWFwlY7DXmqyjzkPGYPj9XE9PQWEADZTqxh8VTtq33TPBF5tFVEBXVIheQ7UM25fTcuJHXzPw_Io5nZe4TzvEkJoHXvJgv9kE/s200/iTunesArtwork.png" title="TextDetective App Icon HD" width="200" /></a><a href="http://cdn.iextract.quadrat4.com/images/59b821c05384caa5ffc2e5d5d106c2de.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="abc abc" border="0" height="200" src="http://cdn.iextract.quadrat4.com/images/59b821c05384caa5ffc2e5d5d106c2de.jpg" title="Prizmo app icon" width="200" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><a name="more"></a><div style="text-align: right;">Apps Provided Complimentary To Reviewer</div>
