Prizmo
Date: March 2011
Language: English

"(...) OCR on its own has limited use, but Prizmo brings the idea to two everyday scenarios: business cards and restaurant bills. While apps such as Bistromath have advanced bill-splitting features, it takes time to enter every item of food and drink manually. With Prizmo, snap the bill, tell it who ate what, and it'll tell you how much everyone owes. It's not as advanced as Bistromath, but it's faster. (...)
We tried it on a range of differently formatted cards, and in most cases it picked up text with no problem, (...)"

Review: Prizmo for iPhone
Date: December 23rd 2010
By: Bob Faulhaber
Language: English

"Scanning and OCR with your iPhone? If you have had a need and could not find a suitable or accurate enough app, well your wait is over. Prizmo for iPhone from Creaceed allows you to check that requirement off your list and gives you a tool to scan text, business cards, receipts and more.

(...) Prizmo takes a photo or uses existing photos in your photo library and allows you to OCR the image and captures the information quickly and easily saving you time and avoiding re-typing information that you want to keep. (...)

Since accuracy is extremely important when capturing and OCR’ing documents, I tested two other items (newspaper excerpt and business card) and again achieved 100% accuracy with the OCR. (...)"

Prizmo 1.0.3 (iPhone): De beste broekzakscanner
Date: November/December 2010
By: Miro Lucassen
Language: Dutch

"Een beetje fotocamera bevat een programmastand om documenten vast te leggen en natuurlijk kun je die vervolgens prima bewerken op je Mac. De juiste software zet de pixels via optical character recognition zelfs om in tekst of tabellen waar je vervolgens weer mee aan de slag kunt. Met de iPhone 4 plus de app Prizmo van de Belgische ontwikkelaar Creaceed combineer je die twee functies in je broekzak, beloven de makers. En het werkt nog echt ook. (...)"

"This app amazed me so much that I had to get Kat out of bed to help me record this video while she was here visiting. She had the flu, but was still extremely impressed with how well Prizmo can capture text and display it beautifully on the iPhone. It really is THAT good."

"(...) Il processo di acquisizione e riconoscimento è piuttosto semplice. (...)
Come potete osservare ora Prizmo ci offre la possibilità di andare a sistemare eventuali errori di digitalizzazione, ma a parte un simbolo di grado (°) riconosciuto come asterisco (*) e un simbolo di tilde (~) inesistente alla fine del documento non ha commesso alcun errore. (...)"

"(...) Tout d'abord, il faut noter la qualité de l'interface et de l'ergonomie générale du logiciel.
Voici un logiciel beau et bien pensé. Sans aucune aide, l'on peut découvrir toutes les fonctions. (...)
Les données receuillies [de cartes de visite] sont placées dans un formulaire pratique et les éventuelles corrections sont aisées à saisir. (...)
Prizmo fonctionne bien et s'avère plutôt utile au quotidien."

"(...) L’interface de l’application est réellement soignée. (...)

Le bouton documents permet de voir les anciens OCR qui sont sauvegardés. Un bon point, l’image originale est conservée, ainsi que le résultat de l’OCR. En tapotant sur la vignette, on voit le résultat que l’on affichera en grand grâce à la flèche à droite. (...)

Prizmo pour iPhone bénéficie de l’expérience de l’éditeur sur Mac et apporte un moteur de reconnaissance efficace sur une machine mobile par excellence. Les résultats de l’OCR sont globalement bons, mais directement soumis aux aléas de la capture photographique. (...)"

Product Review: Prizmo for iPhone
Date: September 24th 2010
By: Ron Schoedel
Language: English

"(...) The higher pixel density of the new iPhone 4 makes quite a nice scanner, I’ve found. If your source is crisply-printed and on a white background, and your lighting is good, the OCR in Prizmo is surprisingly accurate. (...)

To me, it is simply incredible to have an OCR application on the iPhone. That this OCR is accompanied by several other helpful functions within the Prizmo app is just amazing, when one considers that desktop OCR apps usually cost over a hundred dollars. Prizmo has put in my pocket what just a couple years ago required a desktop scanner and expensive software. Never has scanning and manipulating text been so accessible. I highly recommend Prizmo if these features could be useful to you."

Prizmo review for iPhone
Date: August 23rd 2010
By: Sarah Bateman
Language: English

“(...) Prizmo can read the text to you with the addition of an optional text to speech module. There are 35 voices you can choose from, in ten languages.
(...) After you take an image or import it from your camera roll, you can crop and enhance the image to assure a good capture. You can also rotate the image, because the OCR software wants to see the text oriented correctly. There is also an option to white balance the image before the OCR step.
The OCR process is very fast, and in a couple of seconds you have the text. (...)"

Prizmo: Beautiful OCR for iPhone
Date: August 23rd 2010
By: Federico Viticci
Language: English

"(...) Oh yes, the main screen: it looks gorgeous. It’s organized in vertical tabs, with dark UI elements that make the white icons stand out and help you in easily navigate through tha various sections of the app. Attention to details and UI has clearly been put in every part of the app by the developers. Great job, Creaceed. (...)

How did the app perform with my docs? With text documents, perfectly. I had to balance white and adjust perspective a little bit (maybe just because I’m a bad photographer), but after that Prizmo managed to capture text in seconds and provide accurate results. (...)

What I really love about Prizmo for iPhone is the workflow: it takes seconds to take a picture, optimize it and get text. The developers nailed it with the interface (it’s intuitive) and the features Prizmo comes with. (...)"

"(...) J’ai testé Prizmo pour iPhone pendant plusieurs jours et les résultats sont réellement satisfaisant. L’inclusion de gabarits spécifique est une bonne chose et les outils de traitements sont performants. (...)

Prizmo est un très bon investissement qui promet de se doter de solides fonctions à l’avenir grâce à son éditeur qui est très réactif."

Prizmo, reconnaissance OCR pour iphone

"(...) Pour l’avoir testé personnellement, je peux dire que la reconnaissance OCR est bonne, même si la qualité de l’image est évidemment de rigueur. Les utilisateurs de l’iphone 4 seront donc privilégiés, puisque celui-ci dispose d’un capteur optique plus performant. Malgré cela, la qualité des photos du 3GS suffit à numériser une demi feuille, ce qui peut être vraiment pratique. (...)"

Prizmo is a pretty amazing iPhone app for OCR and more
Date: August 21st 2010
By: Mel Martin
Language: English

"(...) You can add Prizmo to the list of great demo apps, and it's going to be a very useful app for a lot of people. Prizmo combines OCR (Optical Character Recognition), text to speech, and translation all in one place. (...)

Does it work? Yes, and quite well. For most OCR tasks, the accuracy is very high. Like most OCR apps, you may have to fix a letter or some errant mistake, but my results were very good. You have to have a good image to start with, well lit and in focus. The iPhone camera will take care of the focus, and the app provides super-imposed grid lines to help you hold the camera straight. (...)

There are other programs that do OCR, other programs that do text to speech, and others still that will do translations. This is the first program that integrates these functions into a solid app. (...)

"(...) Prizmo, already being an established OCR application, does not fall short of expectations. The scanning quality is excellent as far as I can tell, and the programs functionality comes very close to the kind of functionality found on other established phones for a lot less cost."

OCR : découverte de Prizmo pour iPhone
Date: August 18th 2010
By: Florian Innocente
Language: French

"(...) Comme toutes les applications d'OCR, Prizmo ne peut prétendre au 100% de reconnaissance. Il faudra parfois s'y reprendre à deux fois pour obtenir le résultat souhaité et il très probable que des cartes un peu trop graphiques poseront problème. Mais le logiciel peut aussi très bien se débrouiller. Un peu de pratique et d'habitude devraient réduire les mauvaises surprises. L'interface ensuite est extrêmement bien réalisée, assez ludique et avec une intégration Dropbox bienvenue."
