Description
Prizmo 4 for iOS is now available with improved design and workflow, alongside brand new features!
Prizmo is a universal photo-based scanner app that lets you scan and recognize text documents, business cards, and images, and then export them as PDF/Text, vCard, or JPEG/PNG. Prizmo relies on state-of-the-art technologies, like a highly accurate OCR, real-time page detection, and beautiful image cleanup. Using iCloud, you can even shoot the picture on your iPhone, and finish editing on your iPad or Mac. All of this in an elegant and intuitive user experience.
Prizmo is made for everyone, and is thus fully compatible with VoiceOver. It provides voice guidance to help position your iPhone when taking document pictures, and will find the text orientation automatically if it's turned left, right or upside down. Prizmo's quick capture mode provides a fast path from picture to speech synthesis for an improved workflow, and it provides a high-quality voice reader (individual voices available as in-app purchases).

Customer Reviews
Nearly Perfect
This is a really good program which I use for researching and daily work. It is real helpful for pulling off text from pictures taken by phone.
Also some companies send me proposals which are images, so I have to manually retype the language on to a master quote, which is a pain.
Funny thing, it frequently works better than the PC OCR programs. It has the ability to set up selected paragraphs, set up the proper flow for 2 and three column reports, and save images as an image.
The only thing I would improve is to have the ability of setting up a template that would exclude extraneous header / footer data.
After a year, still no split-screen and iCloud Drive support
I really like the functionality of this app. It's got best-in-class scanning functionality and even has hand-off support between devices!
However, after using this app for over a year, I have yet to see creaceed add in split-screen and iCloud Drive support. I can't save .pzdoc files out to iCloud Drive or other storage providers, and then open them in place. I also can't open this app up next to other apps.
I hope they add this functionality in soon. If they had this functionality, my review would be 5 stars
Hit and miss sometimes, but very accurate when it detects page
As long as you're only scanning text in a regular alphabet, it does well. If you scan ANYTHING with symbols, be sure to exclude those symbols first.
