Description
Aim at text. Shoot. It's yours! Prizmo Go lets you quickly grab text with the camera. After text is recognized in a blink of an eye, you can interact with it in many useful ways. Or just send it to other apps. And if you've got a Mac, you can even copy/paste it there. No more retyping. Feels like magic, just at your fingertips.
Additionally, Prizmo Go provides rich interactions with the captured text. After shooting, text from the original picture is revealed, and swiping through it allows fast and accurate text selection directly from the image. Selected text can then be read aloud, or you can tap to browse to any printed website address, call phone numbers, trigger Mail app from an email address, or even reveal physical address in Apple Maps and initiate navigation to that place.
Prizmo Go comes with enhancements specifically built for VoiceOver, in addition to spoken guidance prior to shooting. That, combined with its text-to-speech capabilities, make it a great companion in case you need help reading printed documents.
"Prizmo Go is the perfect example of how an app category can be reinvented with fresh approaches and modern tech."
— Federico Viticci (MacStories)
"By far this app is hands-down the most culturally inclusive app for individuals with visual deficits AND typical vision."
— Bridging Apps
"Prizmo Go does a fantastic job of recognizing text, specifically now with new machine learning features where the app better understands the gutter of a physical book."
— Josh Ginter (The Sweet Setup)

Ratings and Reviews
Works for me
You have to pay £4.99 for export functionality, as others have said. But it does work well, with minor glitches with the odd word or alpha-numerical text, and it saves me lots of time from the alternative of manual transcribing. Worth a fiver.

Thanks for the kind words! /TC
The best OCR app by far—flawless results
Ignore the bad reviews, which are written by people who don’t seem to have managed to use the app properly: the Text Export pack (which is all I needed to use this regularly) is well worth the tiny amount, and developers can’t work for free.
As a writer and researcher I need to extract text from printed material, and after many years of typing or scanning, I tried other OCR apps (English OCR was the last), then dictating, but these always needed extensive editing and re-reading.
Pizmo Go is flawless, compared to any other method, and any other OCR app. It’s interface and OCR recognition function so well, I can read in bed, find a passage I want to extract or quote, pick up my phone and within a minute I have the exact text to paste wherever I want, no editing needed.
If you are the makers of this brilliant and incredibly useful app, and you’re reading this, don’t change a thing (and please *never, ever* sell it off to another company)! Pizmo Go is perfect, and my life as an avid reader and note-taker has been made so much easier, thanks to this small but perfectly-formed app. It does one thing, and does it perfectly.
It’s stupid
I wrote reviews before on similar topics but here I go again, ok so I understand that not every feature is/should be, free. But you take away some basic features that are the bare minimum, you can’t copy and past without paying and even if you do it the normal way (not using the copy button) it adds a stupid thing at the bottom of the sentence. Again I understand that the app shouldn’t be completely free but why can’t you at least let you be able to copy thing but selecting them? I suggest to use google translate (translate English to English using the camera then copy the “translation”) it works better at identifying text and it’s mostly free😀. Anyway the developers must be getting tired of me. 😂😀
