Prizmo Go
Grab text with iPhone/iPad camera and copy/translate/read it aloud
Prizmo Go introduced picture-based text grabbing in 2017 and has been refined over the years. When compared to iOS's similar feature Live Text (2021), Prizmo Go offers a number of significant advantages when you're getting more serious about productivity:
Not 1 but 3 distinct OCR engines (Cloud OCR, Apple OCR, Tesseract) that address most possible use cases.
Support for many languages. While Apple OCR is pretty good, it only support 8 languages. Prizmo Go with its multiple OCR options supports over 130 languages, including some of the less common ones.
Support for accurate handwriting recognition in multiple languages (incl. English, French, German, and many more). This is a pretty unique feature that Live Text does not cover very well. In contrast, Prizmo Go's Cloud OCR often gets close to 100% accuracy even with hard to read styles.
Specific photo capture capabilities that go beyond standard shooting API from iOS to ensure sharp text rendering before handing it off to OCR engines. Shooting within Prizmo Go will improve accuracy of text results, as opposed to loading pre-shot pictures.
Advanced support for content distortion like perspective, and page curvature flattening. Yes, curved text. This allows handling of everyday use cases and makes output text cleaner.
Advanced text layout interpretation that runs atop all supported OCRs. So yes, you can basically expect better & more accurate results even when using the same Apple OCR that Live Text uses.
See text lines, don't guess. Prizmo Go clearly show where the recognized text is on the image.
Effective finger-based text selection. Live Text is often hard to use in the Photo Album, selection almost never matches your intent and it gets in the way when you just want to scroll through photos. With Prizmo Go on the other hand, it is straightforward, you just swipe though the text. Want an additional disconnected block of text? Just swipe through it, and it adds up. And it keeps your album clean of such one-time use photos. Couldn't be simpler.
Text preview & editing before using it. Avoids unnecessary copying/pasting through multiple apps to get the text right. All easily occurs in one place.
On par with privacy. Even though Prizmo Go optionally uses a cloud-based OCR, it comes with strong guarantees (GDPR compliance, Microsoft privacy policy) that all user data are deleted as soon as processed (typically in a few seconds) and never archived nor used for other purposes.
Reading text aloud with visual feedback and choice of the voice.
Very accurate AI-based translation across languages. Actually the best in the industry.
Directly visible and actionable data (addresses, phone numbers, dates, etc.) in the photo.
Don't get us wrong, Live Text is cool, it's free, and it's useful. But if you need to dig deeper & care about the accuracy & the experience, Prizmo Go will provide you with the extra capabilities that could well make the difference, tackling harder texts, handwriting, languages, and more.
Hereunder, you'll find illustrations of the kind of improvements you can expect from Prizmo Go over the built-in iPhone feature (real tests performed in 2022).
Accurate text contents & layout for Prizmo Go. Missing/incorrect words + layout problems with Live Text.
Curved pages handling in Prizmo Go (all OCRs). Live Text breaks on these.
Prizmo Go's Cloud OCR gets handwriting almost perfectly. Live Text can't handle it well.
About language support, Prizmo Go's Cloud OCR has 139 languages, Live Text has 8.
Unlike Live Text, Prizmo Go handles complex layout, multiple columns, and disjoint text selection, as you expect.
Difficult text in natural scene (clothes or other locations) is easily managed by Prizmo Go.
Non-standard and custom fonts found in logos and artworks will also benefit from Prizmo Go's OCR.
Prizmo Go's Cloud OCR eats small & distorted fonts on everyday objects as breakfast with close to 100% accuracy.
Prizmo Go OCRs are also exposed in the Shortcuts app. And it's a significant upgrade!
Prizmo Go's translation capabilities are almost super human, beautiful sentence & chosen words. Live Text, on the other hand…
