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.

— Josh Ginter (The Sweet Setup)

I love Prizmo, but not Prizmo Go

This is the app I need but not with this payment model. I will stay with Prizmo standard

Developer Response ,

Thanks for the review. The Cloud OCR is a service provided by Microsoft and it's not free for the developer, that's why we can't make it for free.

Give me a reason not to evaluate handwriting OCR

The main reason why people invest their time in checking handwriting OCR is the claim that a free app can do it. It has a hard time reading handwritten notes in English. The option to pay and see if cloud based OCR works is not very attractive.

Developer Response ,

Hello. Handwriting recognition from an image (which is know as off-line recognition, as opposed to on-line, where the full path and timing data are available) is a very hard problem that was mostly non-working until recent advances in machine learning. The technology to process handwriting is improving rapidly, and we opted to offer it as soon as possible, even though it’s really just the beginning, as it can help in certain situations. Regarding the issue you mentioned with the recognition of your handwriting please check Prizmo Go's FAQ where we provide tips on how to get a better recognition of handwritten notes: https://creaceed.com/prizmogo/faq
Feel free to contact support@creaceed.com should you encounter any issues.
Also note that Cloud OCR units can indeed be purchased or are unlimited in the Premium Plan subscription for printed or handwriting recognition, but the free trial that can be activated within the app allows the user to choose whether they wish to do so or not. /TC

Poor

Don’t really work. I write 360 in notebook and app read it like 260 or 960. If I scan a few words it’s worst and it shows like „&@9vwvsi”!

Hi. Handwriting recognition from an image (which is know as off-line recognition, as opposed to on-line, where the full path and timing data are available) is a very hard problem that was mostly non-working until recent advances in machine learning. In Prizmo Go, you must make sure you use the “Cloud OCR” option to process handwriting ; the built-in OCR only works with printed text. And even with Cloud OCR, handwriting will only work in English at this time (as specified within the app), and you may need to adapt your style a bit (we are working on documentation about this). The technology to process handwriting is improving rapidly, and we opted to offer it as soon as possible, even though it’s really just the beginning, as it can help in certain situations. We would also appreciate if you could send us a sample image of the handwritten text (English) you used to test the app with, it would surely help us for future testing. Just send it to support@creaceed.com. Thanks. /TC
