Listing OCR Recognizer apps
Hi all, Inside my OCR folder, I have 11 apps. In an effort to clean up my iPhone a bit, could the group offer up their summery on the following apps. I’ll first list the 2 I use more frequently. Prizmo TapTapSee I occasionally use: RedLaser VizWiz Reviews, (use to be Consmer.) Here are the apps I’ve used very little, so don’t really know if they are worth keeping. DocScanner ImageToText Color ID SayText Recognizer, (regret this app big time) Perfect OCR So, my thought was, there are some of you that probably have far more useable experience with these apps, and you may be able to advice me on keep or discard.

Hi Tracy, Since each of these apps can be used for different purposes, how about you specify what it is you intend to do with the apps you intend to keep. Smile.

Tap Tap is a great app for OCR. Vizwiz is also a great app for OCR. The red of the apps you mentioned you can remove.

Re: Listing OCR Recognizer apps
recognizer was not supposed to be an OCR app. It was to be able to recognize items, you take a pic of something, put an audible label with it and the next time the app sees the item it will tell you what you recorded for it.

Re: Listing OCR Recognizer apps
:) thank you for the replies so far. I figured OCR recognizer apps was a sweeping subject for the list of apps. Let' see, I absolutely love tapTapSee. It is the app that has pretty much replaced vizWiz for me. I have used it to read names of products in my hand, I've used it to read something on the tv screen, and I've used it to identify pics on my device. I think it is mostly the OCR apps that have me overwhelmed. I don't use them enough to know which work really well. I've used Prizmo for reading mail or longer portions of text. I've also used it when I've taken a screen shot of an online receipt and have it read it to me. I'm just not familiar enough with Perfect OCR, ImageToText, DocScanner, or SayText. When I first got Recognizer, I gave it a whirl, but I had a hard time having it recognize similar items of the same type. It's a very cool app with impressive technology, but lol, guess not for me. :) Hopefully that answer some questions. I should look in my store history and remind myself which ones I paid for.

Re: Listing OCR Recognizer apps
Chuck Why keep apps on your device that aren't being used and are taking up space, whether one needs to free up space or not. Once an app is downloaded, free or paid, to your device it is yours. Apple can not charge you for a free app that you have uninstalled and want to reinstall. And they can not charge again for an app that you have already paid for. Reinstalling a deleted app is simple.

Re: Listing OCR Recognizer apps
I've only done it a couple times, it gives you a brief description. Usually enough to jog my memory of what the pic is. Give it a try, it's pretty cool. And funny enough, I'm not too worried about space, but why have digital clutter. ;) I do only have the 16gb iPhone. Thank you to the person that suggested 2 specific apps to keep. I think for now, I'll leave them in iTunes, but take some of them off my iPhone.

In an effort to clean up my iPhone a bit, could the group offer up their summery on the following apps. I’ll first list the 2 I use more frequently. Prizmo TapTapSee I occasionally use: RedLaser VizWiz Reviews, (use to be Consmer.) Here are the apps I’ve used very little, so don’t really know if they are worth keeping. DocScanner ImageToText Color ID SayText Recognizer, (regret this app big time) Perfect OCR So, my thought was, there are some of you that probably have far more useable experience with these apps, and you may be able to advice me on keep or discard.

Re: Listing OCR Recognizer apps
also, reinstalling an app if you find out later you want to start using it, is pretty quick and easy. Just bring it up in the purchased apps list in the App Store and double tab on the install button.

Re: Listing OCR Recognizer apps
Hi John, If you mean you have not been able to access the list of all apps you have Purchased and installed on your IOS device, try this... To update apps on your IOS device: 1. Go to the apps store using your home screen icon. You can also launch the Apps store by using Siri and saying the following: launch apps store. 2. At the very bottom row of icons in the Apps store you will find Updates. Swipe to the right and Double tap on that icon when you find it. 3. Wait for a series of tones telling you that your iPhone is loading the page. 4. Use the 4-finger tap at the top of the screen to be taken to the first icon which should be Updates. 5. Swipe to the right about 4 times and you should get a listing of all the apps available for you to update. 6. To update a specific app simply swipe to the right until you read the details of the desired app and eventually you will reach the Update X app button. Double-tap that Update button to begin the installation of the update. When the process is complete, the Update button will change to Open. ***7. If you want to review a complete list of all installed apps on your IOS device, while on the Updates screen, simply use the 4-finger single tap to be placed at the top of the screen then swipe to the right and double-tap on the Purchased icon. You will hear a series of sounds informing you that the page is loading. When the page loads you can simply start from the top of the screen and swipe to the right, and eventually you will come across a listing of every app you have installed on your device. Note: When on the updates page, be sure to avoid pressing the Update all button as it will install all updates at once. This can be useful under certain circumstances as you will not have to update a single app at a time, but sometimes you may not want to update an app as newer changes might render the app a bit less useful to a blind IOS user. Please feel free to reply and request any clarification if necessary as the information above definitely applies to IOS 6.13, but I'm fairly confident the instructions set above will also apply to recent version of the iPhone--with a little modification if necessary.
