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: 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.

For really good results, you need some way of holding your iPhone steady while you take the picture, and some way of ensuring that you have sufficient light to take a good picture. The StandScan Pro, foldaway portable scan box is a very useful piece of equipment. It folds flat and will fit into a document folder and has 15 LEDs to light it inside. It costs around $30.

Re: Prizmo question
I recommend getting the StandScan Pro power bundle because you get the AC adapter, 12 volt battery pack and the 9 volt battery pack for the same price or a little less than the StandScan Pro and AC adapter.

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.

Hello Andy, A cheaper option for you might be Text Grabber plus translator which, as its name implies, also does machine translation. For really good results, you need some way of holding your iPhone steady while you take the picture, and some way of ensuring that you have sufficient light to take a good picture. The StandScan Pro, foldaway portable scan box is a very useful piece of equipment. It folds flat and will fit into a document folder and has 15 LEDs to light it inside. It costs around $30.
