Creaceed releases Prizmo 1.1 - Eventually the OCR solution for Mac users

Mons, Belgium - Creaceed today announces the immediate availability of Prizmo 1.1, an image processing application that enables digital camera owners to scan any document. Based on customer feedback, Creaceed integrated the highly accurate OCR engine from ExperExchange Inc., into Prizmo, and released a user-friendly and reliable application for Mac OS X (Snow) Leopard. Mac users can really do without a scanner, even more now.

Nowadays, more and more people own digital cameras, and these cameras often have 10 megapixel sensors. As a 10 megapixel image is roughly as good as a 300 dpi US-Letter scan, using a digital camera for scanning documents is an easy way to save room and money.
