You stumble across your granny’s old handwritten recipe book. You always loved her ginger cake and her chicken soup and now you know how to make them, only the pages are all falling out and torn. It would be great if you could get these recipes onto your computer, but what a hassle it would be to type them all out.

Aha! You need Prizmo Go. This instant scanner can capture words from any page (or screen) and will turn them into text on your iPhone. You can then paste the text into a new document. Granny’s cookbook sorted.

Phew! Another classic recipe saved for the digital age.

But, of course, there are so many other ways in which Prizmo Go can come in handy. See a listing for a restaurant in a magazine and you can snap a picture and you’ll be able to tap on the phone number to call and book a table. Or, tap on the address and it will open in Maps.

There are great accessibility features, too. Photograph a newspaper article using Prizmo Go and within a couple of seconds the text will be captured. Tap on the “Reader” icon, hit play and the app will read the text out to you. You also can speed up or slow down the playback.

Perhaps you just want Granny’s recipes translated into Danish, or Hindi (or any of 59 languages). Well, that’s possible too.
