Cloud OCR requires an Internet connection.
The most impressive part is that it could perform OCR on old scanned PDFs of textbooks reliably, on your device! OCR a textbook is a very heavy process that even Adobe Acrobat on PC doesn’t do that well. It can output a new PDF file with the OCR’ed text embeded in so it becomes searchable. This is the only app I found on iOS that could do this. (Neither Scanner Pro by Readdle nor Voice Dream Scanner can do this.)

Thank you for the kind words! They're really appreciated! /TC
Shortcuts integration needed
Chirurgean
Fast, responsive and accurate. A quality app well worth the moneyIt does need to have Shortcuts integration. URL callbacks don’t cut the mustard anymore. The ability to send a pdf from Shortcuts to Prizmo 5 for OCR to searchable pdf and then return the OCRed pdf for metadata work and saving in Devonthinktogo 3 would be awesome
Developer Response
Thanks for the kind words and the feedback! We take note of it. /TC
Great utility

Prizmo is my go-to tool for turning old scans into tidy OCR PDFs. The iOS version also keeps the file size remarkably small.
Developer Response
Great to read! Thanks for the kind words! /TC
Hardly any different than V4
dr-pop
Without s list of what's new in V5 I've taken a quick look and re o be honest ot doesn't look very different to at all. So basically this is a move to subscription pricing for part of the service with a lump sum payment for other features I've already paid for in V4. Poor show from the developers.
Developer Response
Hi. It is totally fine to stay with the old version if you want to. Please note that we spent 2 years to build Prizmo 5 to bring a modern & capable scanning experience to iPhone/iPad with an entirely new design and scanning workflow, two new machine-learning OCRs, and new image processing features (page flattening, edge repair, page detection…). The subscription feature is only for the Cloud OCR option, which has ongoing costs on our side, all other features are unlocked with a one-time purchase that even has special upgrade pricing. /RS
Improved performance and fixed several bugs.
