Recensione: Prizmo per iOS, scansione ed OCR in mobilità

October 10th 2015

By Vincenzo Vignieri
in Italian

Personalmente ho trovato l'applicazione particolarmente efficace, in quanto consente un'ottima ricognizione dei margini delle pagine in automatico e riesce ad eseguire in batch l'OCR sul testo di tutte le foto presenti nel progetto. Le app concorrenti, come alcune più blasonate tipo Scanbot, invece richiedono che il lavoro venga eseguito per singola pagina. Prizmo integra anche la possibilità di tradurre il testo al volo in svariate lingue e di esportare il tutto.

Can you imagine not being able to read printed words? What would your life be like if books, newspapers, websites, email, and even signs were all virtually incomprehensible to you? How would you get through the day? For up to one in five people like me with dyslexia these are not hypothetical questions, they are our reality. Yet, thanks to accessibility technologies built into Apple's iPhone, iPad, and Mac, it's a reality that can be challenged.

Prizmo 3 pour iPad et iPhone: superbe!

October 4th 2013
By François Cuneo
in French
Si déjà, j'ai beaucoup apprécié Prizmo sur Mac, je dois dire que j'ai été tout simplement époustouflé par la version iPhone et iPad.

Bref, Prizmo fait tout, mais ce qui est magnifique, c'est la qualité de l'interface, qui est juste belle à tomber par terre. Tout est pensé "juste", que ce soit sur iPhone ou sur iPad.

Il me semble vraiment que ces programmeurs ont pensé à tout. J'adore.

I think Prizmo is a terrific product for OCR of documents, and they’ve come a long way from their earlier efforts if you tried them a long time ago. I found the interface pretty easy to use, and actually turning on VoiceOver helped me understand better what I was supposed to be doing with the controls, because it was able to read out loud to me essentially what would be Tool Tips if we only had the hover option on iOS that we have on OS X.

Prizmo is a universal app, none of this charge twice nonsense for the iPhone and iPad from Creaceed. Prizmo will cost you $9.99 in the iTunes store, and if you need to scan in text more than once, I really think it’s worth the price. they did another cool thing – they put the (free) user guide up in the iBooks store. If you’re also blind, this app could be a fantastic tool for you too.

Prizmo, et l'iPad se transforme en un scanner polyvalent

September 29th 2013

By Eddy Maniette
in French

Les nombreux réglages, comme celui du contraste ou de la saturation, permettront d’avoir un texte le plus lisible possible pour cette fonction OCR. Jouer un peu avec ces fonctionnalités pourra améliorer significativement la qualité du texte à la sortie. Pour l’avoir expérimenté, la fiabilité est au rendez-vous.

À noter que l’application se veut intelligente pour repérer la zone avec l’image en question. Là encore, nous avons été séduits par le rendu final de notre document après numérisation, l’application fait des merveilles.

Prizmo – A Powerful Digital Inclusion Tool

September 2013

By Sean Page

He took the time to show me a few things he uses, but one app really stood out for me. This standout app is called Prizmo; available on the Apple App store for £6.99. This post gives you a quick overview of just what £7 can do to change your life.

In an app market full of OCR, this is a worthy one to have in your accessibility arsenal that goes a long way to help you be digital by default. And in professional circles the software costs in the region of four figures, so this is definitely a money saving option.

Prizmo 2 pour iOS

Un excellent travail de l'équipe de Prizmo qui a permis de littéralement porter Prizmo avec très peu d'éléments manquants.
Bien sûr, les conditions d'export sont un peu plus limitées. Néanmoins, pour un logiciel qui fonctionne sur iPhone et iPad, très franchement le résultat est excellent.

Autant dire que par rapport à son concurrent direct ReadIris, l'interface et les possibilités de traitement sont largement supérieures, et évidemment la balance aura tendance à pencher du côté de Prizmo.

À mon sens, c'est la meilleure application pour faire de la recherche de texte et des scans. Enfin, scans + recherche de texte, sachant que moi j'ai quand même testé pas mal d'applis comme Doc Scan Pro ou My Scans Pro qui sont pas mal mais l'interface est bien moins moins faite, et surtout vous n'avez pas cette synchronisation entre une application Mac et une application iPhone.

Coup d'oeil sur l'OCR de Prizmo 2 pour iPhone et iPad

May 14th 2013

By Florian Innocente
in French

Les outils pour préparer l'image avant son OCR ont été améliorés, par exemple une loupe pour ajuster précisément le cadre de rognage et d'autres pour l'éclaircir, mieux faire ressortir les textes et débarrasser le texte numérisé de parties inutiles.
Les articles du journal ont été plutôt bien voire très bien analysés et de limiter à peu de choses le travail de correction derrière.
Prizmo est une solution mobile d'OCR plus qu'abordable. Les rapides essais conduits ici montrent que le logiciel peut se révéler très capable.

Review: Prizmo for iPhone

December 23rd 2010

By Bob Faulhaber
in 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: Beautiful OCR for iPhone

August 23rd 2010

By Federico Viticci

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. (...)

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. (...)
