Re: Question about Prizmo Go and Multi-page Documents
First, you have to buy the export package, $4.99. Then, after each page, you would have to copy the text and paste it into a word processing app. Then repeat for however many pages. At this point it does not save documents that I have found. But, the full Prizmo app, $9.99 can scan multiple pages then you can export the whole thing and let it process the pages when exporting. But, it does take a few steps. The advantage to both Prizmo apps, is they seem to do a better job with the basic layout of the page. Nothing fancy like tables, but keeping the paragraph breaks reasonably well. HTH, Richard Noun: trumpery 1. (informal) statements or beliefs that are untrue or make no sense 2.

Re: Prizmo vs KNFB Reader, was: How Do You Use iOS?
both Prizmo and KNFB Reader process scans on the device. And yes, they both can scan from an image like a screen shot. The quality may not be great.

Re: Prizmo vs KNFB Reader, was: How Do You Use iOS?
Hi, first of all, I like this thread. I have a couple follow up questions. Something I don’t know for either app, is how private are they? Does any of my scanning go online or on some sort of server? If I am scanning bank documents or medical documents. Also, with KNFB, can it scan from a screen shot? I have been doing a lot of family history & at times take screen shots of census documents or old newspaper articles. These are screen shots on my iPad mini. Thanks all, Traci PS. A while back, I wanted to scan a letter someone had posted on Instagram. Well, Prizmo didn’t do that great with it. Cam find didn’t do well. So, I found this free app called, Scanner & Translator Free - convert photo to text and make translation to more than 90 languages by DataCom https://appsto.re/us/NZ8xY.i <https://appsto.re/us/NZ8xY.i> It worked like a charm to scan the screen shot of the letter.

Re: Prizmo vs KNFB Reader, was: How Do You Use iOS?
There is no question that the user interface and the speed of getting scans with KNFB Reader is by far the best. However, if you have a document that you want to attempt to keep the paragraph structure, then Prizmo is better than KNFB Reader. But, Prizmo is far, far more tedious to use. I have kept Prizmo on my devices in case of situations where I want the paragraphs retained. Granted that isn't very often.

Re: Prizmo vs KNFB Reader, was: How Do You Use iOS?
The user interface for KNFBReader Great compared to Prizmo. When comparing theKNFBReader app with other apps for more complicated documents it is superior. If you're scanning regular letters, thePrizmo App or TextGrabber plus translator will suffice. The advantage is thatKNFBReader Will also OCR text from the computer screen. Definitely worth the money even if you don't have any discounts by using gift cards are waiting for it to be on sale. This is not a biased opinion, it is based on comparison and experience.

Prizmo vs KNFB Reader, was: How Do You Use iOS?
Hi Tracy, I think it’s pretty safe to say that if you ever used KNFB Reader you would never want to use Prizmo again. I am not saying this because the OCR is that much better, but the ease of use for a blind person to use and get great results with KNFB Reader is unbelievable. I used to use Prizmo as well as well as another OCR app which was popular for a while and for which I forgot the name, but once KNFB Reader came out they all went the way of double tap and hold, then double tap again to delete. KNFB Reader is expensive, but is it ever worth it if you do OCR on a regular bases and you can get it for a reasonable deal if you pick up some 20% off iTunes gift cards when they are available at various resellers throughout the year and then wait until KNFB goes on sale for $75 or so. If you then have discount cards you can get it for $60 and it has been on sale for less at times, I think as low as $50 at one point in which case it would have been $40 with discounted gift cards.

Re: a question about Prizmo
You got me curious. I got a box of Wheat Thins out of my cupboard. I scaned one side knfb reader and got no text. Turned the box over and got a bit of information, but nothing that would have told me it was a box of Wheat Thins. I then used Camfind, and in about 30 seconds, found out that it is a box of Wheat Thins, low sodium, 250 G. Then, I scanned the bar code on the bottom of the box with Digit-Eyes. I double tapped on the more information button after also qlkly finding out it was a box of wheat thins, and used VoiceOvers feature to copy the last thing said to the clipboard and pasted the below into mBraille, which is how I'm writing this.

RE: a question about Prizmo
Hi Martin, Could you be a bit more specific and maybe give some examples as to what exactly you are hoping the app to read? You mention “labels on boxes”, but does this mean you want to just recognize food items/packages or do you want to know what the product is and in addition to that get details about information such as ingredients, instructions and so on? I am asking because if you are just looking to identify food products there are better apps for that than either KNFB Reader or Prizmo. These include Camfind (free), Talking Goggles (free) or Tap Tap See (requires you to buy credits for taking pictures). There are, of course, also apps like Red Lazer (free) or Digit eyes (paid) which are barcode scanners and where you need to find the actual barcode. I am pretty sure KNFB says that recognizing text on boxes/packages is less successful than what you get if you scan a printed page, newspaper article, magazine article and so on due to the various colours/backgrounds which might be involved as well as font styles and sizes. I would, however, say that KNFB Reader would perform better for a blind person for just about anything simply because it will at least give you feedback as to whether you are holding your phone straight and so on.

Prizmo vs KNFB Reader and how iTunes gift cards can save you $20
Hello List, Reading about Prizmo and KNFB Reader, I thought I point out that for those who are considering KNFB Reader but want to save a bit of money, this weekend would be a good time. I just listened to the Today in iOS "Black Friday" edition where Rob goes over all sorts of deals you can get starting in a couple of days, and among many others, a lot of the large chain stores like Target, Best Buy, Sam's Club and so on offer iTunes gift cards at discounts of 15 to 20%. This means you can pick up KNFB Reader for $80 instead of $100. Even if you don't need to buy an expensive app, it's always nice to have $25 or $50 of iTunes credit especially if you can get it for 20% less and to use it for something you want down the road. Having said that, if any of the Canadian list members come across a 15% or 20% discount please do post about it. Right now 7 Eleven offers a 10% discount on $50 iTunes gift cards, but I'm hoping to find a 20% deal somewhere.

John, The conversation was about Prizmo and someone asked what is the difference between KNFB Reader and Prizmo, which is the question I was answering. So, I described the steps necessary in Prizmo which is on sale right now. Perhaps you should read the entire context.

Re: Prizmo is on Sale
Other than the $95, the ability to more easily save scans as one document and the speed of the text recognition. Prizmo's quick capture mode works great if you don't ever want to save a document. You can save documents with Prizmo, it just takes quite a few steps to do that. You select create new document and do your scan, select done in the bottom right corner, then double tap on where it shows page 1, then on the next screen find the recognize button in the upper right. Once you have done that, you can elect to save the document. You can scan several pages before recognizing them, or choose to export the pages at which time you will have an option to recognize all pages before exporting, and it will do all the pages, etc. So, if you are fine with just taking a bit longer to get all that together, no need to spend the $99.99 for KNFB Reader. HTH Richard I have not used Prizmo in a while, so those steps may not be exact. Reality is the leading cause of stress for those who are in touch with it.

Re: Prizmo is on Sale
Hi. I think you meant KNFB Reader. Anyway, though I don't yet have KNFB Reader myself, from what I've heard and people I've talked with, it does a far better job of recognizing text in accuracy than Prizmo or many other OCR apps. I've heard that it can recognize text on crinkled sheets of paper, receipts, glossy sheets of paper, and even computer and TV screens. Though it is more expensive than Prizmo, those who use it say that it is well worth the cost. It seems that many people were skeptical of it, but in the weeks after it came out, those that began skeptical were singing the KNFB Reader praises.

Re: Help, I think I broke my copy of Prizmo.
Hi Sandi and list. Thank you for your helpful suggestions. Yes, I double-tap on quick capture to take the picture, and then on take picture. You're probably correct in that there isn't enough light to take a clear image of what I'm scanning. I wasn't aware of this behavior of Prizmo, thanks for pointing it out. I'll also try to close the majority of my apps before scanning. Julia On 14/07/2014 4:58 AM, Sandratomkins wrote: Hi, Just a thought: you double tap for the quick catcher, yes? Then, you double tap for the take picture, yes? The picture won't be taken until you have double tapped on "take picture". You need to hear the tones before it will take the picture. As you are trying this freehand, are you sure you have adequate lighting? Unfortunately, with Prizmo, the Flash doesn't come on until the pictures taken, so, if the lighting is inadequate the autofocusing function can't really kick in. In this regard, TextGrabber is better because you can turn the flash on and it stays on all the time while the camera is searching to take a picture. Also, I am finding that both of these OCR apps behave better when I have less apps open in the app switcher.

Re: Help, I think I broke my copy of Prizmo.
Hi, Just a thought: you double tap for the quick catcher, yes? Then, you double tap for the take picture, yes? The picture won't be taken until you have double tapped on "take picture". You need to hear the tones before it will take the picture. As you are trying this freehand, are you sure you have adequate lighting? Unfortunately, with Prizmo, the Flash doesn't come on until the pictures taken, so, if the lighting is inadequate the autofocusing function can't really kick in. In this regard, TextGrabber is better because you can turn the flash on and it stays on all the time while the camera is searching to take a picture. Also, I am finding that both of these OCR apps behave better when I have less apps open in the app switcher.

Re: Help, I think I broke my copy of Prizmo.
Hi Joseph, I'm glad I was able to help. The amount of lighting is critical to all OCR apps and obtaining accuracy. I guess that's why many who use OCR apps from an iOS device will do it in conjunction with the StandScan Pro. Knowing that there's enough illumination and the correct distance is important. HTH.

Hi Julia, You're welcome. I'm glad that Prizmo is up and working for you again. I have been working on the other OCR app Text Grabber and I know how much it is to depend on an app that workedand then stopped working. Happy OCRING.

Hi Eileen and list. I'm happy to report that I didn't in fact brake Prizmo. I just misinterpreted what was going on, I thought that when my iPhone vibrated, that meant that it had detected a page.

creating a folder in Prizmo and transfering documents
Hi all, I have a couple of questions.Is there a way to create a folder in Prizmo to put several documentsI created in fact, there's eight documents named constitution and bylaws for my Society of the blind group (8 pages) that I want to put in one folder.So can I create a folder in Prizmo or not? Also, when I get done scanning my documents I want to scan and turn them into text and name the text, should I transfer everything I scan and turn into text and transfer them from prizmo to another app like dropbox? If so, how do I go about transfering the documents over from prizmo to dropbox? Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

Re: couple prizmo questions
On the main screen of Prizmo, I find the names of my saved documents. If I use a one finger right flick, after each document is a button that says "Rename" When I have pinished recognizing a document and do a two finger flick up, VoiceOver reads everything including the document. It will say Region 1, Region 2 and so forth for each section of the document. The only thing I can think of is that either you are not on the screen you think you are, or you have not gotten any text.

couple prizmo questions
Hi all, I have three questions I want to ask about prizmo. 1. How do I name a document ? 2. When I take a picture of a document with the quick capture and after it scans it it says results. I do a 2 finger flick up so it can read the document but it won't read the document it will read everything around the document but the document. So, how can I get the results to read the document? I've tried and tried doing a 2 finger flick up on the results page to get it to read the document but it won't read. Please help? 3. When I save a document, where does prizmo save it at and how do I find it? Any suggestions and help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Re: Prizmo: performing OCR on imported PDF Files
I had been trying to have Prizmo read imported pdf files and found that the split tap while on the recognize button worked. So thanks for asking the question.

Re: Another Prizmo question
Hi Sandy, Thanks for the suggestion. I will try the four finger double tapp to start the help mode and try doing the two finger flick up again to see if voiceover recognizes it. Also, I do have text grabber and text detective both but haven't tried them just yet. Yes, I can send one or two of my questions at a time but I try to figure out the app I'm wanting to use on my own first before I ask questions. And I have figured out how to do something on the appI'm working in and then I wont need to ask that particular question. Take care.

Re: Another Prizmo question
Hi Lori, I tried a few shots with Prizmo myself and used the two finger flick up after hearing "results". It works every time for me! Even if the results are pitiable voice-over still reads them. To make sure that your two finger flick up is being performed correctly, do a four finger double tap on the screen. This will start the "help mode"you can try your two finger flick up and make sure that voice-over recognises what it is. Indeed, you can do this with any of the gestures to make sure you are performing them correctly. Then another four finger double tap will get you out of help mode. By the way, do you also have TextGrabber? Sometimes, when Prizmo fails, TextGrabber succeeds. As for all your other questions: perhaps you can put them to us one or two at a time, this will make it easier to address them. Plus, as you make your way around Prizmo, some of your questions may become obsolete, that is, you may find the answer to them yourself. There are elements of Prizmo that I haven't used and so will not know the answer to. Perhaps, we can find them out together!

Re: Prizmo question
I started playing with the 3 OCR programs again after someone said they've improved. What I found is that when using Prismo it is almost impossible to get a page. I move the phone around till it says found page but if the phone is moved even cm it looses the page. I had much better success with Text Grabber and even Text Detective. I have not played with these using the Scan Stand though. I will say I was amazed at how much better the two apps I just mentioned have become over the past few months.

Re: I did it! Prizmo and the standscan
See if this helps. It is a brief manual that was posted a while ago. http://www.sendspace.com/pro/dl/m6o3qe If we can't look at ourselves, and ask, why? then where does the learning start? - Original Message - From: Lori Dent To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Tuesday, March 18, 2014 8:10 PM Subject: I did it! Prizmo and the standscan Hi Sandy and all, I'm going to repost my message with all my questions I have about Prizmo and the standscan. Hi Sandy, I placed my guides around my phone on top of the standscan after I got my phone lens camera positioned over the hole and I took some pictures and practiced and I had no problems with the phone positioning anymore. But now I have some more questions to ask about Prizmo. 1. What is the difference between quick capture and creat new document? A lot of my picture taking will be applications, authorization forms and other important documents. So when I'm taking pictures of these important documents, do I use the quick capture or creat new document or does it even matter? 2. When using quick capture and after taking the picture it processes and then it says results. How do I get to the results? 3. At the bottum of the screen of the result screen, there are three buttons save,copy and open in . The save button I know will save the document but where does it save the document at? The copy button I know is to copy the text and I'm assuming it clips it to the clip board? But where is the clip board at? The open in button is where you can I assume put your text document in Ever note or dropbox. 4. I noticed I can either use i cloud, Ever note or dropbox, so which one is best to use? I have all three of these. When I use quick capture or creat new document, do I swipe over until Ihear these 2 options or do I just double tapp on the creat new document or quick capture at the bottom of the main screen? 5. When I use the creat new document, and I have taken the picture do I then swipe over to the done button in the top right corner of the phone or double tapp on the done button at the right bottum corner of the phone? When I tapp on the done button at the bottum right corner of the phone it will take me to the pages screen. It will say page one of one . In the left top corner of the phone is a button called documents and if you swipe over from left to right the next function button will say pages,edit, page one of one, at new page, text, change text type, and export document. I'm not sure what all these function buttons are for. Can you explain? These button functions are in all four corners on the phone and at the top and bottum of the phone. 2. How do I name or rename a document after I have created a new documenmt? 3. I think I've come across a button called rebuy. What does this button mean and what does it do? Sorry for the long and langthly post but I didn't want to forget anything and I hope I covered all my questions hear. Anyone who responds back to this post I will very much appreciate it. Thanks.

Re: I did it! Prizmo and the standscan
Hey there lori, Sorry for the delay in getting back to you, I updated to version 7.1 yesterday and was busy making friends with the new upbeat Siri! Now, for some of your questions: quick capture is the way to go if you want to see what information you've got on your piece of paper or two OC are it and send it off to another app. It is the most straightforward of your options and I tend to use it more often than not. Yesterday, for example, I sent a small extract from my newspaper which I had obtained with the use of Prizmo and the quick capture mode. I just used the copy function and then pasted it into the bottom of my email. So, this wasn't something I wanted to keep but merely to use. I could have kept it for sure, I could have sent it to another app, pasted it into an email, as I did, all, I am sure, there are many other options. As for the create new document mode, I use this if I want to make a multi page copy which I want to be able to read page by page consecutively as if it were one file. It is also easier and quicker to use the multipage documents because you can just keep replacing the page and taking another shot, particularly well suited to the use of the stand Scan pro. You should play with this mode. However, a small caveat for you, it will depend upon your needs, you mentioned you will need to OCR some forms etc, now, I did this last year: firstly, I needed to read the content of the forms, so, I OC are then. And then I needed to create image files of them because I needed to sign the final page and email them back to the original sender. To do this one needs to choose image rather than text. Once a document has been OC ared it will not look at all like the original document. All formatting is gone etc. So, if you need to keep copies of forms etc just take an image copy and not a text copy. In this particular case, I created two different documents with Prizmo. One which was in text format which has been recognised so I could read it, the other simply an image file which I could not read that I needed to keep a copy off. Finally on the page by needed to sign, I signed the original paper document took an image copy of it and could post it sorry email it back to my original sender. Does this make sense? I know you have many more questions but perhaps this is enough to get to practising and defining what it is you actually need to do with your documents. Something important to note, within the space of a couple of days, you, have become a power user of Prizmo and this is due to the efficacy of the stand ScanPro, something worth observing, I think.

Re: Prizmo and the standscan
Hi Beth, I got my standscan from www.standscan.com I got the standscan power bundle for $37.95 plus $15 for shipping and handling. So I paid around $52.95 for my standscan power bundle.Plus it comes with the asessories . Also it takes 2 weeks for delivery because it's coming from Hong Kong. Hope this helps.

Re: Prizmo and the standscan
Hi, I have been reading this thread, because I plan to buy a stand scan. However, my look on Amazon I am not sure which one I need to get. I sit ranging from US$34-US$66.

But now I have some more questions to ask about Prizmo. 1. What is the difference between quick capture and creat new document? A lot of my picture taking will be applications, authorization forms and other important documents. So when I'm taking pictures of these important documents, do I use the quick capture or creat new document or does it even matter? 2. When using quick capture and after taking the picture it processes and then it says results. How do I get to the results? 3. At the bottum of the screen of the result screen, there are three buttons save,copy and open in . The save button I know will save the document but where does it save the document at? The copy button I know is to copy the text and I'm assuming it clips it to the clip board? But where is the clip board at? The open in button is where you can I assume put your text document in Ever note or dropbox. 4. I noticed I can either use i cloud, Ever note or dropbox, so which one is best to use? I have all three of these. When I use quick capture or creat new document, do I swipe over until Ihear these 2 options or do I just double tapp on the creat new document or quick capture at the bottom of the main screen? 5. When I use the creat new document, and I have taken the picture do I then swipe over to the done button in the top right corner of the phone or double tapp on the done button at the right bottum corner of the phone? When I tapp on the done button at the bottum right corner of the phone it will take me to the pages screen. It will say page one of one . In the left top corner of the phone is a button called documents and if you swipe over from left to right the next function button will say pages,edit, page one of one, at new page, text, change text type, and export document. I'm not sure what all these function buttons are for. Can you explain? These button functions are in all four corners on the phone and at the top and bottum of the phone. 2. How do I name or rename a document after I have created a new documenmt? 3. I think I've come across a button called rebuy. What does this button mean and what does it do? Sorry for the long and langthly post but I didn't want to forget anything and I hope I covered all my questions hear. Anyone who responds back to this post I will very much appreciate it. Thanks. Lori and the Gipper I already know how to delete a document if I don't want it anymore. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.

Re: Prizmo and the standscan
Hi again there, I am left-handed too! Indeed, I placed the phone on the diagonally opposite corner from the one I suggested to you. So, if you have the stand Scan in front of you with its open side towards you, your phone should be on the further left hand corner. Obviously, the camera will still be positioned directly over the viewing hole. Probably, this isn't very important, which corny you place it, but I do find it easier being left-handed placing it thus. The thing to do, in your situation, that is, needing to get good at using Prizmo, is to use the quick capture mode while you are practising. Also, once you have tapped quick Capture, ignore anything that Prizmo says to you and just do a two finger double tap. Prizmo will take the picture and do the rest! Once you have become comfortable with this, and you need to scan some multipage documents, then you can progress to the "create a new document"mode, in which you can just keep taking the pictures and do the recognition after this. Prizmo will store these scanned documents for you. There is also an app called text grabber. This is worth having to! It is totally easy to use, much more so than Prizmo. And between Prizmo and TextGrabber you will have the best solution at the moment available to the iPhone. When TextGrabber does badly you may find that Prizmo does well and, sometimes, the other way round too. I made a mistake in my previous message to you, I said that when you have done reading your recognised text that you should tap the "done" button you actually have to tap the "close" button. I do hope some of this helps and feel free to ask whatever you need. Scanning is my speciality!

Re: Prizmo and the standscan
DHi Sandy, Thank you for the explaination on how I should be positioning my phone on top of the standscan. Yes, I do have the guides that came with the standscan.I will go back and place these guides in place once I get my phone positioned and lined up properly.Oh by the way, I'm left handed not right handed. LOL. I will go and get my phone lined up and positioned properly then I will place the guides around the phone. I will keep practicing some more this afternoon and then I'll let you kno how I'm coming along with it. I know I will have more questions about Prizmo because it's important that I learn how to use this app and how to scan and take the pictures of my important text because I'll be taking on a Lions position within the Lions being our zone 2 promoter for our District Lions Eye Care Foundation and I will need to use my sstandscan and Prizmo with important document papers that I will be needing and using.

Re: Prizmo and the standscan
Hi Lori, Congratulations on getting started with Prizmo and your stand scan. Now, as regards positioning the phone: did you receive the special stickers that come with the stand Scan pro bundle? If so, the trick is to position the phone perfectly once, either using your own vision or with the help of a friend, then, when the phone is in the optimum position, put the stickers around it so that in future you merely have to drop the phone into place. This will save you a lot of frustration in the future. Assuming you are right handed, your phone should be positioned so that the camera is over the little round hole in the centre of the top of your stand scan. The side of the phone, the one that has the volume controls along it, should run parallel to the front of your stand ScanPro. Perhaps, about three quarter of an inch/2 cm away from the front edge. It is important that your phone is absolutely square with the top of the stand ScanPro. What I think is confusing you are the prompts given by Prizmo. These prompts can be useful when you are using Prizmo in freehand mode. But once you have your phone properly positioned on the top of the stand Scan, you can ignore these prompts entirely. Indeed, what Prizmo tells you it can see is almost irrelevant when you're using the standard scan pro. Now, if you are in "quick Capture" mode, and everything is in place, your phone, your text, Touch the screen just above the home button and you should hear "take picture". Double tap it. Then, all you need to do, is wait! Do not double tap the done button. Leave Prizmo to recognise the text and it will tell you when the text is recognised. Then, a two finger flick up will read you the whole of the screen. If you wish to go back to the camera mode, then you may press the done button. Otherwise, should you choose to save your text, there are various ways to do this, but I suggest you master the capturing of text first. So, to recapitulate, The most important thing you need to do is position your phone, either independently or with help, stick the stickers in place, and start practising.

Re: Prizmo and the standscan
First, Turn off the flash. You don't need it since you have the light from the StandScan. You want the home button pointing to the right, with the camera over the hole. Also, I turn off the detect page, since the standscan has the camera at a good height to get the full page.

Prizmo and the standscan
Hi all, Yesterday and today I was playing around with Prizmo and my standscan. I got my standscan all set up and it was easy to unfold and set up. I have the adapter plugged in to the standscan and into the outlet wall and the light turned on. In my Prizmo app, I either swiped over to quick capture or create new document. Then I either double tapp on the quick capture which takes me right to the quick capture camera or I double tapp on create new document which then gives me three options to choose from 1. text, 2. business card, and 3. imige . So I tapp on text and then it takes me to another screen where I have 2 options to select from 1. take picture and 2, photo alblum . So I tapp on take picture. Now I'm at the camera. At the top left corner of the camera is the flash , so I turned flash mode to on. moving right over from the flash to the middle of the top of the camera is a option button. I double tapp on the option button and in that option button their are three options you can choose to turn on or leave off. The first option is 1. detect page. So I have detect page turned on. The second option is use stablizer. So I have that turned on. Then the third and final option is clean upiminge . But I have this one turned off. I have my sheet of paper with Lions )Eye Care Foundation ) informationin the standscan ready togo. On top of the standscan is a round hole that you can see through, if you were sighted. Anyhow, Iplaced my I phone camera over this hole and trying to position my phone just right so the text detector will detect the text on the sheet. I tried and tried over and over to position my phone just right and I do have a little sight that Ican tell that the camera has the entire text in view but it didn't say text detected and ready to shoot or take a picture. So I went ahead and took the picture and then swiped left to right to the done button. And it said unable to process text not detected. So I once again tried repeating the process and trying to line up my phone just right so that the text detector will detect the text. So finally, after trying and trying it finally detected the text and it said ready to shoot or take a picture. So I tapped the camera button and took the picture and then swiped over to done and at the top right corner I think it said results. So I tapped on results and there was my sheet of paper with the Lions (Eye Care Foundation ) information I wanted to scan into text.So I was successfull and was able to read the text. But now I can't get my phone positioned just right no matter what I do so I can take another picture of another sheet of information I want to turn into text. In fact. it will eventually say text detected and I'm no where near the text yet or at the top of the standscan. Any help and suggestions to help me get my phone in the right position on top of the standscan so I can get the text detector to detect the text so I can take a picture? Also, I figured out how to delete a document from Prizmo if I take a picture and the text isn't there. So I delete that document. I'm learning Prizmo on my own but this positioning my phone just right on top of the standscan has me very frustrated but I'm not giving up. I also would like to know how to name my document so I can find it for future use? Sorry for the long and lengthly post but I didn't want to forget anything. Again any help and suggestions will be very much appreciated. Thanks. Lori and the Gipper -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.

deleting in Prizmo
Hi all, I have another question about Prizmo.If you take a picture of something and you don't want it can you get rid of it by deleting it? And if so, where is the delete button? Also, I'm having difficulty getting it to detect the text.I have the flash set to on and I have the detector page set to on and the stablizer set to on. So far I've only been able to successfully take one picture with the text I want to save. I try to position the phone so it will detect the text and say something like ready to shoot or take picture. But when it says text detected, the phone isn't positioned on the top of the standscan but off to the side and the phone might be in a angle but it will say detected text ready to take picture and if I take the picture and then swipe over to done it will say unable to process and can't detect text in the document. The positioning of the phone is the hard part to get the detector to detect the text. I also have the lights inside the standscan turned on too. I've been doing things right and have everything set like it should be. I also have it set to u s letter. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

questions about tex grabber and prizmo
Hello Lori, Here are some very good instructions for Prismo. I am pasting this from a message from another list, so will take out any identifying info. The writer does a great job describing it. Dear Friends of xxx, I am a VoiceOver user on my iPod touch and Mac, and would like to share an amazing app I found for iOS, which I use on my iPod touch (5th Gen). Prizmo is the name, and OCRing is the game! Prizmo is an OCR app that wasn't initially built with accessibility in mind, but recently has made sure VoiceOver users are able to use it with ease. Before I explain all the bells and whistles this app includes, I would like to say that I have used this app to convert magazine pages and restaurant menus into editable text and used the built-in read aloud feature to listen what has been captured. The accuracy is pretty darn good in my opinion. Of course there will be a few mistakes here and there, but overall, the main meat and potatoes come out great! Prizmo has a built-in "read aloud" feature once the document has been captured and OCRed, in addition to many other features. Prizmo currently runs for $9.99 on the Apple AppStore. For a quick step-by-step follow through, please continue reading. User Interface: The main portion of the app's main page is a grid, something like iBooks in grid view or as seen on iOS home screen/pages. This is where all your documents you have captured will be stored. This app works locally so no need for internet use at anytime! On the bottom half of the screen, there is three buttons centered. The first one, positioned to the left, is to create a new document. The middle button is to take a quick capture so you don't have to save it I believe. The button positioned tot he right is the voice reader, or read aloud, option. Traditionally, one would choose the "create a new document" option. Creating a New Document: When using VoiceOver, navigate to the "create a new document" button by flicking from left to right until you hear the option. Then double tap to enter. A popup will appear from the bottom, asking to select a document format. There are three options; 1) text, 2) business card, 3) image, and then of course there is a "cancel" option at the end. Flick left to right once to select the "text" option. Double tap to enter. The next popup you'll be presented with will ask you to choose how you would like to capture. There are three options; 1) take picture, 2) from photo album, 3) last taken. Again, flick left to right once to select "take picture" then double tap. You will now be presented with the actual capture method. In other words, if you chose to take a picture, then you should be at the camera screen now. On this screen, there are many options you can choose from. At the top left corner, you have the option to select whether you want flash to be turned on or off, This option would only apply to those who have a built-in LED flash - iPod touch and iPhone. If the paper isn't too glossy, I would highly recommend using the flash as the flash will dramatically increase the resolution in any case. At the top center, you will have a button that says "options". If you double tap on that, you will be presented a little sheet that includes no more than a few options. The first option is to have guided assistance. If one is completely blind, I suggest to have this feature turned on. This guided assistance feature is just okay in my opinion because it will tell you to move left, up, etc, until the main body text is detected, but once it is good to go, it will say "no visible page". The page is visible, so take some pictures and play around with it until your able to speak its language. As with any document you want to OCR, I would recommend having some kind of ruler system that can help you line the document up so this won't be much of a hassle, unless of course you adore a challenge. Play around and maybe you'll find it easier than you think! The next option, now at the top right corner of the screen, is where you can select your default paper size and such. For some reason, I believe the default is set to A4. So if this is the case, simply double tap and select US Letter. Finally, at the bottom center of the screen, you have the snapshot button. Once lined up and all that jazz, you can now take your picture! Please note that once you have setup al the features you want to use form now on, for example, flash turned on or off, guided assistance, US Letter, etc, you don't have to bother with that stuff again. After a picture has been taken, simply flick left to right until you hear the "done" button located at the bottom right corner. Note, you can also take several pictures after you take the first one if you have multiple pages to OCR. Processing and Exporting: Now that we have e
Re: questions about tex grabber and prizmo
Hi Richard, Thank you for answering my questions. I do have text grabber and prizmo both and I will be using both.But I'll be using prizmo to save and store my documents in since text grabber can't do it. Also, I would very much love to have the prizmo instructions when you can find them and resend them to the list. Thanks.

Re: questions about tex grabber and prizmo
TextGrabber cannot store documents, but it does have a history where you can go back to previous scans. You can copy and paste the text into a document in another app to then save and name your document. Prizmo can create multi-page documents that you can save and name within Prizmo or export if you wish. Prizmo is a little more complex because it does more. There are two ways to scan with Prizmo. 1. Quick Capture. This is like what TextGrabber does, it scans and recognizes the text and you can copy and paste that text elsewhere, but you can't save it within Prizmo. 2. Create New Document. This involves a few extra steps, but allows you to then save the document within Prizmo if you like, or to export it for use in another app. Esther once put together a nice list of instructions for an older version of Prizmo, I'll see if I can find it and resend it with some updates to the newer version. As I have said before, I prefer Prizmo in most situations because I get better results with it.

questions about tex grabber and prizmo
Hi all, I have a few questions about tex grabber and prismo. Okay hear goes. First about tex grabber. When you scan a document and converts it into text can you save or store important documents for further use and to read? Now about Prizmo, how does prizmo work and can you also scan important documents and store or save them for further use? Thanks. Take care.

Prizmo and Text Grabber are known as Optical Character Recognition/OCR apps which means you can take a picture of a printed document and the picture will be converted into text which Voice Over will read to you.

Re: Help with Prizmo please
The front and back camera is chosen when in the camera app. OCR apps automatically choose the back camera when they access the camera. FaceTime, on the other hand, automatically chooses the front camera. If you look through the archives of this list, I have written a few messages detailing the process required for getting a good, clear, focused image for OCR. I discuss such things as lighting, shading, skew, blur, jitter, and so forth.

RE: Prizmo question
I recommend the StandScan Pro with the Power bundle for $37.95. You would pay $34.95 plus $5.00 for the AC adapter if you bought them separately. The power bundle gives you the AC adapter, a 12 volt battery pack that takes 8 double-A batteries, and the included 9 volt battery holder. (Batteries not included.) Here is the direct link on StandScan.com http://standscan.com/index.php/product/standscan-pro-portable-document-scanner-power-bundle.html It ships from Hong Kong, so in the United States it takes about 2 weeks.

Re: Help with Prizmo please
Hi Andrew, I will try to remember all of the tips I have read in the past for Prizmo. 1. Make sure you have plenty of light. If you are using natural sun light, make sure to be facing the window, so you don't cast a shadow onto the text to be scanned. 2. I use my iPhone in portrait mode and the back facing camera. I also have a case on my phone, which has given me more to grab from. I do use both hands with the thumb on one side and 1-2 fingers on the other. We are all different, so you will need to figure out aha is comfortable for you to use. 3. I place the bottom edge of the paper butted up against the edge of the table, so it is straight. 4. when practicing at the beginning, I folded the paper lengthwise and then in half. the center point and creases gave me a reference point on where the right edge of the phone should be placed, which is in the center where the horizontal and vertical crease intersected. Oh my! I forgot to say that I printed out a test page to use. Because I have been using different OCR apps for a while, I do use the above principle, but I just eyeball it now. this is after lots of scanning. I hope this gets you started. I can't recommend highly in considering purchasing the StandScan Pro, if you want the best accuracy. I can say that I can get a 100% accurate scan with it. Good luck.

Re: Help with Prizmo please
First, start the app and get to the point where you are ready to double tap the take picture button, and plan to ignore what it says about positioning the camera. Scanning free-hand is tricky at best. You want to use the back camera. I'd recommend placing the phone flat on the page with the back camera roughly in the middle of the page with the home button pointing to the bottom of the page and the power button pointing to the top. Grab the phone with your thumbs and little finger holding each side near the top and bottom. I have my left thumb over the mute switch if that helps explain the location. Then, lift the phone about 10 to 12 inches above the page, assuming an 8.5 by 11 page. Try and keep the phone as steady and level as you can. Then, using your right middle or index finger, double tap the take picture button. You should hear the rising tones before the picture snaps. After you have gotten used to hovering the phone over the page this all gets easier.

Help with Prizmo please
Dear Listers, I've purchased the latest Prizmo 3.1.4 and installed it onto my iPhone 5C. I thought it would be a useful application to have in order to scan and have it read to me an occasional page of text such as a letter or a business card or a short text that one might be given by a friend, without having to go to one's scanner and do all the things that need to be done via the conventional scanner route. I've done some research on the web and through the group archive to get an idea of how Prizmo works. Some of the official documentation is very sight oriented so I found it useless. I've tried to scan and recognise a page of text today and failed miserably. I really struggle to understand how Prizmo works. I'd appreciate your help. I've decided to use Voiceover as the voice reading the application controls and text once it's recognised. I hold my phone over a page of text and I get some directions from Voiceover and my phone keeps vibrating but these directions don't make sense. At some point Voiceover said something about a text page being detected but immediately afterwards it said that there was no page located. I'm also confused which way to hold my iPhone as it has two cameras: back and front. I instinctively tried to use the back camera so that I could have the display point upwards as that's where the buttons are which I need to tap. It all feels rather awkward to hold. I'd appreciate any suggestions and hopefully step by step notes on how to go about getting a result from a page of text or a business card.

Re: Prizmo question
The reason I like Prizmo better than TextGrabber is that you have the option to easily do multiple page documents. And, Prizmo has a translation feature as well. If you have a document that has a more complex layout, I think Prizmo does a better job. But, if you are mostly doing single page documents, TextGrabber is quicker and easier. I have them bowh, so that if one isn't geting the results I want, I can use the other one. My first choice is Prizmo, but now and then, for whatever reason, TextGrabber can get a better copy.

Hi Ruby, The Standscan pro with the built-in lights is the one you want.
