I experienced that last night when trying to do some scanning. My phone was not muted. I'm not sure if the vibration was a good or bad indication.

Is your phone on mute? Or, do you have vibrate on ring turned on? If I mute my phone, then Prizmo causes vibrations which I think is there attempt to indicate level, but I'm not sure.

Re: Prismo manual and questions
Sieghard, whenever I use Prizmo, my phone starts vibrating like crazy. I'm not sure if that's the page-detection thing, or what it means, but the app is definitely trying to convey something. Now if I could just figure out what that something was, and how the app was trying to convey it to me, I think I might be good to go.

RE: Prismo manual and questions
Hi Wayne, Prizmo has some sort of page detection which I found was very difficult to use but there is no feedback as to whether your phone is tilted or if your text is straight. That is definitely the big benefit of KNFB Reader and I think everybody who has used Prizmo and/or Text Grabber and now is using |KNFB Reader would agree that it is expensive but that it is definitely the best. I know David from New Zealand was very skeptical about it, but he has bought it now as well and posted a few weeks ago that he also recommends it and that he was impressed by its performance. Have you checked Applevis? I seem to remember that at some point there was a Prizmo Podcast.
