Prizmo works very well but requires some practice. You can find the user guide 
for Prizmo on the Applevis site.

Cheers,

Save your time, save your money, and keep your cool, to not buy this app!
This is my opinion. I bought this app and just cannot use it.
 Vest wishes & many blessings!

RE: Prizmo

[Dianne B. Phelps]

I don't know if this helps or not, but I started out way way back with the
Kurzweil Personal Reader after having used the optacon for many years. I now
have the KNFB Mobile, the phone of which I have retired, keeping the reader
in full use for now. Eventually, I will look for one of these for the
iPhone. However, not everyone is going to be happy with the same products.
This will be a little like Kurzweil versus Open Book or something else. The
main thing is that you use what give you the quality you wish and ease of
use.

Some of my friends who have never had vision ever seem to have a bit more
trouble with the camera concepts than some of us who have had partial vision
for a time, though with practice, you can master this.

With my readers, I like to be able to move through the text by character,
word, line, and sentence as well as get an overall read of the document with
reasonable clarity.

I am thinking that with the prices of these apps, one may have more of an
opportunity to try a couple of these to find what works best for you. As I
say, I will explore this as I gain more experience with the iPhone itself.
Perhaps, one day, someone like Dr. Kurzweil or others will develop something
for iPhone, though I understand the development of products of this nature
for iPhone is an expensive undertaking. I tend to believe that the apps now
available will only get better with time and that being able to purchase a
product right off the shelf for immediate use at the same price as everyone
else is quite something to be pleased with.

Re: Prizmo.

Hi Shirley,

I don't, as yet, see the need to buy extra voices for Prizmo, so, might I 
suggest that if you have some cash burning a hole in your pocket, you spend it 
on Tex Grabber. The interface of TG is much simpler and even using it 
free-hand, it is now much easier to use than of yore. Plus, TG will also work 
well with your StandScan Pro when it arrives.

Re: Prizmo.

Hi,
I wondered about this myself.  Actually, the thing I don't quite understand 
is why the Prizmo app couldn't recognize that I already have Heather and 
Ryan on board for use with Read2Go, and, I think, Voice Dream, too.

Perhaps I just haven't set it up properly. Hmmm.

It's because of the way IOS sandboxes apps. You can't share resources such 
as TTS voices among apps.

Hi,
I wondered about this myself.  Actually, the thing I don't quite understand
is why the Prizmo app couldn't recognize that I already have Heather and
Ryan on board for use with Read2Go, and, I think, Voice Dream, too.
Perhaps I just haven't set it up properly. Hmmm.

Hi Shirley,

   I don't, as yet, see the need to buy extra voices for Prizmo, so, might
I suggest that if you have some cash burning a hole in your pocket, you
spend it on Tex Grabber. The interface of TG is much simpler and even using
it free-hand, it is now much easier to use than of yore. Plus, TG will also
work well with your StandScan Pro when it arrives.

Re: Prizmo.

[Tom Lange]

Hi,
All right, I can understand the licensing issues, sandboxing and all that; 
that happens on the PC as well.  If Apple will allow integration of apps 
like w and y pages with GPS apps, for example, it seems to me that it should 
be a fairly simple matter to share tts voices among reading apps so that 
users don't have to needlessly purchase tts voices over and over again.  But 
perhaps I'm comparing apples and oranges here, no pun intended.

Re: Prizmo

[David Chittenden]

I have written these instructions in the past, so suspect they are available in 
the archives.

Open Prizmo and prepare to take a photo of the page. Before taking the picture, 
ensure that the room is well-lit, but direct sunlight is not shining on the 
page. In other words, too little light shades the page such that the print 
cannot be detected. Too much light causes the white of the page to enhance and 
the print to disappear. Also, if your body, or the phone or arm is between the 
light source and the page, the shadow of your body or the phone can cause a 
dark area on the page that can make the print in that area disappear.

Next, the phone must be as flat to the plain of the page as possible. If the 
phone is tilted in any way, the print characters are changed visually. The 
closer letters become short and thick whilst the more distant characters become 
small and thin. In other words, OCR may not be able to recognise the text, or 
parts of the text.

The phone must be as straightly aligned to the edges of the paper as possible. 
The more skew (rotation) added to the image, the lower the ability of OCR to 
recognise the text. Though Prizmo is the most forgiving OCR app in this regard, 
it still requires less than about 5 degrees of skew, and the best recognition 
occurs when skew is 0.

When the picture is taken, the camera / phone must be completely still. Any 
movement of the camera causes the text to blur. This is known as jidder.

Note: when sighted people take pictures of text for OCR, they automatically 
compensate for all of the above. Even then, however, a light box works better. 
I personally use, and very highly recommend, the StandScan Pro from
www.standscan.com
to correct for all of the above issues and get almost perfect OCR conversions 
every time.

When not using the StandScan Pro:
Lay the phone flat on the paper with the camera in the middle of the page. 
Note: the camera is in the upper right corner of the back of the iPhone when 
the iPhone display is facing you and the home button is at the bottom of the 
display. Make sure the four sides of the phone are aligned with the four edges 
of the paper.

There are four ways to take the image: double-tap on the take picture button, 
split-tap on the take picture button, press the volume up button, or press the 
volume up button on the headset if the headset is plugged in. It is very 
strongly advisable that the method which creates the least amount of jidder is 
used. Double-tap the take picture button, therefore, should never be done. This 
method will always create movement, no matter how lightly one brushes the 
screen. Even with the delay Prizmo has now added to help us blind folk, this 
method is still the least accurate for image capture / OCR. Pressing the volume 
up button, though seemingly should be the best method, gives mixed results. 
This is because force must be applied on the side of the phone which alters the 
phone's position in relation to the page. Being blind, we cannot correct for 
this when it happens. I do not use the headset, so cannot comment on its 
accuracy or how to stabilise the phone whilst using the headset volume-up 
button. Therefore, the best method for the most consistent results is using the 
split-tap. This is because, split-tap actually activates when the tapping 
finger is released from the display. The split-tap command actually holds until 
the second finger is removed, no matter how long it takes (as long as neither 
finger moves enough to trigger a movement-based command such as the rotor.

Without moving the phone on the page, lift the phone enough to place the ring 
fingers of both hands under the phone along the long edges. Do not block the 
camera lens with the right hand's finger. It is necessary that both hands are 
used because, it is not possible to feel drifting while lifting the phone with 
just one hand. With both hands, one still drifts a little, but it is easier to 
detect it. Press the middle fingers of both hands against the sides of the 
phone. These fingers pressing on both sides stabilises the phone to the hands. 
Press the thumbs to the bottom of the phone with less pressure than the middle 
fingers. When the phone is secure on the platform created by the fingers,

Locate the take picture button with one of your index fingers. The take picture 
button is above the home button. When the fingertip locates the take picture 
button, it remains still on the button. Now, the other index finger lightly 
touches the active display near the edge. This sets VO up for the split-tap 
command.

Slowly start lifting the phone as straight up from the page as possible. Listen 
for VO to say, auto focus. Most times, when this is said, the entire page is in 
focus. Occasionally, there is a block of text, or an image, in the middle of 
the page that the camera has focused on. If this is the case, keep lifting 
slowly until the second time VO says, auto focus. After one has taken many OCR 
images,

Re: Prizmo

[Richard Turner]

If you have the standscan assembled correctly, and have the opening facing you, 
you should find a hole in the top of the box toward the front right.
If you place the phone with the back facing camera pointed down through the 
hole, the home button will be near the right side of the box. The side of the 
phone with the volume controls will be closest to you.
Then, place your document, face up, on the bottom of the box with the bottom of 
the document lined up against the right side of the box and lined up across the 
back of the box.
There will be about a half inch or so qap between the top of the document and 
the left side of the box.
If all that makes sense, you should get a nearly perfect scan.
HTH,

Re: Prizmo

[David Chittenden]

After working with some blind people on how to put the StandScan together, my 
advice, if one is having difficulties with it, is have a sighted person put it 
together first. Apparently, constructing it makes strong visual sense. After 
the sighted person puts it together, carefully study how it is supposed to be 
built. The hole for the camera is on the top, in the middle of the box. One 
long side is missing. This is where the paper is placed in the box. If you have 
the StandScan Pro, the light strip plug hangs out the left side upper back 
corner. If one has the standard, the box is probably too dark to function well.

Following on from this: I just tried Prizmo with the scan stand pro but with no

activated the flash for me and make quite a reasonable job of the scan. So 
perhaps for those who only have the simple light boxes this is some sort of

If you have the standscan assembled correctly, and have the opening facing
you, you should find a hole in the top of the box toward the front right.
If you place the phone with the back facing camera pointed down through the
hole, the home button will be near the right side of the box. The side of
the phone with the volume controls will be closest to you.
Then, place your document, face up, on the bottom of the box with the bottom
of the document lined up against the right side of the box and lined up
across the back of the box.
There will be about a half inch or so qap between the top of the document
and the left side of the box.
If all that makes sense, you should get a nearly perfect scan.

RE: Prizmo

[rubyalphonse]

Hi David,

I am much obliged to you for explaining Prizmo to use. I am new to this
Prizmo, besides I don't have stand scan pro. I want to try and learn to scan
without stand scan pro. Perhaps I will have to buy stand scan pro later. I
love books, and there are books which we don't get in Braille or audio.
Keeping this thought in my mind, I went in for Prizmo. I should have posted
to viphone@googlegroups.com asking for advice before buying Prizmo. Anyway
here I am, all mixed up in my head and mind. Just help me out if you please,
in case I have more doubts. Ruby

To: viphone@googlegroups.com
Subject: Re: Prizmo

 

I have written these instructions in the past, so suspect they are available
in the archives.

 

Open Prizmo and prepare to take a photo of the page. Before taking the
picture, ensure that the room is well-lit, but direct sunlight is not
shining on the page. In other words, too little light shades the page such
that the print cannot be detected. Too much light causes the white of the
page to enhance and the print to disappear. Also, if your body, or the phone
or arm is between the light source and the page, the shadow of your body or
the phone can cause a dark area on the page that can make the print in that
area disappear.

 

Next, the phone must be as flat to the plain of the page as possible. If the
phone is tilted in any way, the print characters are changed visually. The
closer letters become short and thick whilst the more distant characters
become small and thin. In other words, OCR may not be able to recognise the
text, or parts of the text.

 

The phone must be as straightly aligned to the edges of the paper as
possible. The more skew (rotation) added to the image, the lower the ability
of OCR to recognise the text. Though Prizmo is the most forgiving OCR app in
this regard, it still requires less than about 5 degrees of skew, and the
best recognition occurs when skew is 0.

 

When the picture is taken, the camera / phone must be completely still. Any
movement of the camera causes the text to blur. This is known as jidder.

 

Note: when sighted people take pictures of text for OCR, they automatically
compensate for all of the above. Even then, however, a light box works
better. I personally use, and very highly recommend, the StandScan Pro from

www.standscan.com

to correct for all of the above issues and get almost perfect OCR
conversions every time.

 

When not using the StandScan Pro:

Lay the phone flat on the paper with the camera in the middle of the page.
Note: the camera is in the upper right corner of the back of the iPhone when
the iPhone display is facing you and the home button is at the bottom of the
display. Make sure the four sides of the phone are aligned with the four
edges of the paper.

 

There are four ways to take the image: double-tap on the take picture
button, split-tap on the take picture button, press the volume up button, or
press the volume up button on the headset if the headset is plugged in. It
is very strongly advisable that the method which creates the least amount of
jidder is used. Double-tap the take picture button, therefore, should never
be done. This method will always create movement, no matter how lightly one
brushes the screen. Even with the delay Prizmo has now added to help us
blind folk, this method is still the least accurate for image capture / OCR.
Pressing the volume up button, though seemingly should be the best method,
gives mixed results. This is because force must be applied on the side of
the phone which alters the phone's position in relation to the page. Being
blind, we cannot correct for this when it happens. I do not use the headset,
so cannot comment on its accuracy or how to stabilise the phone whilst using
the headset volume-up button. Therefore, the best method for the most
consistent results is using the split-tap. This is because, split-tap
actually activates when the tapping finger is released from the display. The
split-tap command actually holds until the second finger is removed, no
matter how long it takes (as long as neither finger moves enough to trigger
a movement-based command such as the rotor.

 

Without moving the phone on the page, lift the phone enough to place the
ring fingers of both hands under the phone along the long edges. Do not
block the camera lens with the right hand's finger. It is necessary that
both hands are used because, it is not possible to feel drifting while
lifting the phone with just one hand. With both hands, one still drifts a
little, but it is easier to detect it. Press the middle fingers of both
hands against the sides of the phone. These fingers pressing on both sides
stabilises the phone to the hands. Press the thumbs to the bottom of the
phone with less pressure than the middle fingers. When the phone is secure

Re: Prizmo

I sincerely apologise if the following sounds bad.

If you do not have any light perception, and the instructions and hints which I 
and others have posted are confusing you, the best thing you can do is have a 
sighted person assist you in a few ways.

First, have a sighted person check the area where you are wishing to scan. This 
check is for lighting. Sighted people can tell how good the lighting is, and if 
any of the problems I discussed in my previous message exist.

Second, have a sighted person observe when you are attempting to take an image. 
I actually did this when I first started working with a camera system for 
desktop OCR rather than using a scanner. This assistance was invaluable for 
helping me to much better understand where text is actually located on the 
page, how I was creating bad shading with my body, and so forth. When I started 
working with a mobile OCR solution, I had a sighted person observe how I 
drifted when lifting the device. This was how I discovered that using two hands 
is far superior to using one hand when lifting my device. I also learned how 
much I was tilting the device, so practiced with the sighted observer present 
until I improved enough to take acceptable images for OCR.

I have written these instructions in the past, so suspect they are available
in the archives.

 

Open Prizmo and prepare to take a photo of the page. Before taking the
picture, ensure that the room is well-lit, but direct sunlight is not
shining on the page. In other words, too little light shades the page such
that the print cannot be detected. Too much light causes the white of the
page to enhance and the print to disappear. Also, if your body, or the phone
or arm is between the light source and the page, the shadow of your body or
the phone can cause a dark area on the page that can make the print in that
area disappear.

 

Next, the phone must be as flat to the plain of the page as possible. If the
phone is tilted in any way, the print characters are changed visually. The
closer letters become short and thick whilst the more distant characters
become small and thin. In other words, OCR may not be able to recognise the
text, or parts of the text.

 

The phone must be as straightly aligned to the edges of the paper as
possible. The more skew (rotation) added to the image, the lower the ability
of OCR to recognise the text. Though Prizmo is the most forgiving OCR app in
this regard, it still requires less than about 5 degrees of skew, and the
best recognition occurs when skew is 0.

 

When the picture is taken, the camera / phone must be completely still. Any
movement of the camera causes the text to blur. This is known as jidder.

 

Note: when sighted people take pictures of text for OCR, they automatically
compensate for all of the above. Even then, however, a light box works
better. I personally use, and very highly recommend, the StandScan Pro from

www.standscan.com

to correct for all of the above issues and get almost perfect OCR
conversions every time.

 

When not using the StandScan Pro:

Lay the phone flat on the paper with the camera in the middle of the page.
Note: the camera is in the upper right corner of the back of the iPhone when
the iPhone display is facing you and the home button is at the bottom of the
display. Make sure the four sides of the phone are aligned with the four
edges of the paper.

 

There are four ways to take the image: double-tap on the take picture
button, split-tap on the take picture button, press the volume up button, or
press the volume up button on the headset if the headset is plugged in. It

After working with some blind people on how to put the StandScan together,
my advice, if one is having difficulties with it, is have a sighted person
put it together first. Apparently, constructing it makes strong visual
sense. After the sighted person puts it together, carefully study how it is
supposed to be built. The hole for the camera is on the top, in the middle
of the box. One long side is missing. This is where the paper is placed in
the box. If you have the StandScan Pro, the light strip plug hangs out the
left side upper back corner. If one has the standard, the box is probably
too dark to function well.

Re: Prizmo Suggestions?

[Esther]

Hi Jess,

When people get started with Prizmo and other OCR apps, a common problem is not 
having sufficient light for your images.  I use the light detector app to check 
this.  Also, it's a good idea to start with something simple.  For example, if 
you have a letter that you printed out, you can use that to train with. You 
should expect an initial steep learning period because you're going to have to 
be precise in orienting your iPhone camera by lining it up according to the 
edges of the page, and also holding it flat.  You also need to make sure that 
the page you are trying to OCR lies flat.  However, one of the good things 
about Prizmo is that you usually get enough information to correct your method, 
and it also works pretty fast.  

What kind of errors are you encountering?  If you get some text, but not with 
several tildes interspersed, that's probably a case where the page is not flat. 
If there is insufficient light, you'll probably get what appears to be random 
characters.  That can also happen if you hold the camera skewed with the edges 
of the paper.

If you become practiced with lining up the camera with the edges of the page, 
you'll find that you can OCR documents that are upside down or rotated by 90 
degrees to the right or left with equal facility.  It does take a lot of 
practice, but then at some point it just works.

David Chittenden has had a lot of good tips in the past, and maybe he can make 
some suggestions.  It would help to know what you're getting back from the 
program.  Also, if you're using an iPhone 3GS the camera may not be good enough 
to give you reliable results.  An iPod Touch camera or iPad 2 camera is 
definitely not good enough. 

HTH.  Cheers,

Esther

Re: Prizmo question

[Anne Robertson]

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.

Cheers,

Anne

Re: Prizmo question

[Richard Turner]

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.

I recommend getting the StandScan Pro power bundle because you get the AC

a little less than the StandScan Pro and AC adapter.

Prizmo and TextGrabber are the two best OCR apps. In addition, I very highly 
recommend you get the stand scan pro.

RE: Prizmo question

[Richard Turner]

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.

 

HTH,

Richard

RE: Prizmo question

[rubyalphonse]

Hi Richard,

I just bought Stand Scan Pro, it took Two weeks to come to Bangalore India.I 
quite like it, I use Prizmo. May be I must try Text Grabber.I still am looking 
for clear instruction about how to get clear reading and what I must do in the 
settings. Sometimes it says text could not be found. That means I may not be

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.

 

HTH,

Richard

Prizmo and TextGrabber are the two best OCR apps. In addition, I very highly 
recommend you get the stand scan pro.

Re: Prizmo question

[Richard Turner]

You want to be sure you have the camera lined up over the hole in the top of 
the StandScan Pro.
The home button should be going to your right if the open side of the standscan 
is facing you.
You want to make sure the phone is lined up in a straight line.
Just leave the phone lying on the box and gentley tap the take picture button.
If no text is recognized, it could be that you have a blank page, or the print 
is not very clear.

Hi Richard, thanks for answering my doubts.

How to make sure whether it is scanning the two sides of the books when I  keep 
the books opened  inside the box? The way my open book scanner reads the I 
Phone 5 doesn’t read so clearly. Is this your experience? Please write and tell 
me, I would be much obliged to you. Regards Ruby

You want to be sure you have the camera lined up over the hole in the top of 
the StandScan Pro.

The home button should be going to your right if the open side of the standscan 
is facing you.

You want to make sure the phone is lined up in a straight line.

Just leave the phone lying on the box and gentley tap the take picture button.

If no text is recognized, it could be that you have a blank page, or the print 
is not very clear.

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

It ships from Hong Kong, so in the United States it takes about 2 weeks.

Prizmo and TextGrabber are the two best OCR apps. In addition, I very highly 
recommend you get the stand scan pro.

Re: Prizmo question

[John Diakogeorgiou]

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 podcast recommendations?

[Esther]

Hi Jenny,

I don't know of any podcasts that demo the use of Prizmo, but you can
check out the Guide at the AppleVis web site:
•  A Guide to Using Prizmo, a Scanning and OCR Application for the
iPhone
http://www.applevis.com/guides/guide-using-prizmo-scanning-and-ocr-application-iphone

The guide assumes that you use the app without any supporting stand,
so it is set up for voice activation -- the picture gets taken when
you say, "Take Picture".  This makes it easy to take the picture
without moving the camera when you take the shot and reduce the chance
for image blur, but it also means that in this mode VoiceOver's volume
drops once you enter the camera screen until you take the picture,
This is presumably designed to get a better trigger off your voice
command to "Take Picture" and minimize extraneous noise.  With a
support stand you might rely on the stand to keep the phone from
moving when you take an exposure.  I know that David Chittenden has
described how he uses Prizmo without voice activation for the shot, by
resting one finger on the "Take Picture" button (just above the Home
button, at the bottom center of the screen), then trying to hold the
phone still and doing a split tap with another finger on the screen.
That method might work well for people using a supporting stand, since
it would not have to drop the volume level of VoiceOver.  Similarly,
part of the guide assumes that you need to check brightness level
before taking a picture, so there are details about using the Light
Detector app for that. With the StandScan Pro you'd be using the
lights included in the unit.

I'll just state that although there are different processing screens
for working with the image and doing the OCR processing, you'll mainly
be double tapping the "next" button in the top right corner of the
screen, rather choosing options to correct or modify the image.

HTH.  Cheers,

Esther

Hi Sandy,
If you want to read text with other voices, get Voice Dream Reader. It is

Re: Prizmo got constipated!

[Esther]

Hi Sandy,

I'm late to this thread, but I agree with Richard about using Voice
Dream Reader.  If I want to read in translation, I send the results of
an OCR to Voice Dream Reader.  I think I said that in my earlier posts
about using the new version 2 Prizmo app and the "Export" option that
could send output to other apps, including Dropbox and, for me, Voice
Dream Reader to read in other languages.  As an old hand at co-opting
translation apps with voices into reading text, especially before iOS
expanded the range of languages they supported for both spoke text and
recognized voices, I can tell you that they basically just stream
output, and there's a maximum size to each buffer. Before there was
Voice Dream Reader, I used to use Speak It! by FutureApps to stream
text of roughly novella length.  (By the way, one of the other good
features of Voice Dream Reader, is like Speak It! Output, you can play
the text when your screen is locked).  I like a number of the Loquendo
voices, and one of the advantages of having an iPad when Sonico GmbH
was experimenting with adding features to the iTranslate app was that
there version for the iPad came with a number of free Loquendo voices
for a range of languages. So I used to paste in short story length
dialogs to read in different languages in this app, and listen to the
Loquendo voices.  But really, there's a limit to how much text you can
start reading this way with just text-to-speech in a buffer.  You'll
get much better results from Voice Dream Reader.  And you'll be able
to have it keep reading your text with the screen locked.

Cheers,

Esther

Re: Prizmo and images.

[Sandratomkins]

Hi again Annie,

I don't know the answer to your question with regard to prizmo bombing 
out/crashing, but have you updated it this week? I thik I remember 2 updates 
very recently and one of them specifically mentioned your crashing issue.

As for the best size to choose for using the SSP, At the moment I have mine 
set to the default, i think it was anyway, which is A4, but the base o the SSP 
is bigger than that, so I might go to the next size up and see if it better at 
getting the top and bottom of my text.

Whaty I really am replying to is your statement that you have Prizmoed an 
entire book! Did you do this using the SSP and your phone? If so, how well did 
it do?Was it consistent? Did it take long, comparing it with using a PC/Mac?

What really is pleasing me is that now we are all talking about such 
endeavours, and how much we have moved away from that situation whereby, for 
the majority of us, scanning, using the phone to scan was simply an 
impossibility. I too have scanned a folder of documents, in my case, using Text 
Grabber and relying upon the History tab to access them, so, not only are we 
getting some real access to literature on the cheap, but we also have choices!

per ardua ad astra!
Sandy.

Re: Prizmo and images.

[Annie Skov Nielsen]

Hi Sandra.

I have tried with some single pages, and I get really great results with 
finereader 11 for windows and images taken with standscan and my phone. I got 
really happy when I figured out prizmo could make high quality images in 
multipage PDF, sad that it doesn't work. I have upgraded and reinstalled 
prizmo, I have also contacted them, they need a bug report sadly I do not get a 
crash report when I reopen prizmo.

It is really quick to scan a book in prizmo, it took me about half an hour to 
scan 200 dobble pages, about 400 book pages. Unfortunately I can not get the 
image out of prizmo, can I do that manually in some ways. I have tried to 
recognize the book with prizmo it gets rather good, but there are a few bugs, I 
testet with some difficult pages and finereader will recognize them corectly.

It is an easy process to scan a book with standscan, you do not have to move 
the book at all only go to the next page, my hands love that they will not have 
to lift the book all the time.

Cheers Annie.

Re: Prizmo and images.

[Richard Turner]

Hi Annie,
The only thing I can think of is that the phone may not be able to handle that 
much at once.

Also, do you have it using iCloud? I wonder if that takes more of the phone's 
resources.
Do you have the logging set to on under settings, diagnosis and usage?
That might help it send automatic reports to the developer.
Unless the images are stored in a way that you could use file sharing with 
iTunes, I can't think of another way to get them off the phone.
I think I will try a book myself and see what happens.
Good luck,

Richard

Re: Prizmo and images.

[Annie Skov Nielsen]

Hi Richard.

I also thought of that, but it is the same for me with fewer pages. I can 
easily recognize all the book with prizmo, but I would like to use the images 
in finereader 11, it really uses prizmos images very beautiful.

I would be glad if you will try, and see if you can confirm the problem.

Cheers Annie.

I forgot to mention, that I use my braille display for pressing the camera

RE: Prizmo and textgrabber

[Richard Turner]

They are apps for scanning text.

If you look at the descriptions in the app store, you will find the
differences.

If you have questions after reading the app descriptions, feel free to ask.

 

HTH,

Re: Prizmo and textgrabber

[Robert Vaughn]

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.

  Text Grabber is the best in my opinion.

Re: Prizmo with StandScan Pro

[Sandratomkins]

Bonjour Anne,

I see you got the StandScan pro! I have it too and think it very good. I 
would just like to add one comment to your findings: it would appear, from your 
two nearly excellent scans, that there is little to choose between the 9 volt 
and 12 volt options, however, this is only true when there is reasonable 
ambient lighting. Something I have been looking for, and think to have found 
with the StandScan Pro, is a way of making sure that: 1. The phone is always in 
the perfect position and 2. that the lighting within the box is perfect 
regardless of other conditions. I have found that 12 volts of power is 
necessary to obtain perfect/near perfect results even in complete darkness! 
When the ambient light is good enough, one doesn't even need to use the LED 
lights included in the StandScan box, but, especially, for those of us who have 
no light perception, and are unable to avoid creating shadows etc, the 
StandScan plus 12 volts of light, is capable of fulfilling these 2 requirements.

By the way, did you buy the 12 volt battery holder, by any chance? I 
thought I did, but it seems I didn't. If I can find it on their website, I will 
try and order it, because I don't always want to rely upon a mains connection.

Also, for those who are interested in these more abstruse points, your 
scans were double page scans taken from a book, something to be aimed for, but 
in general, single page scans are, as in the case of a letter in the post, the 
most important challenge re access and independence. So, just an observation 
from here: the other day a friend came round, all het up, with a letter from a 
solicitor. My friend read it to me and wanted my reaction to it. He was 
distressed and kept reading me the text, all in a rush, interjecting expletives 
in lieu of commas! In the end I said "I'll just make a copy of this and read it 
again when I can concentrate properly." I did this using the StandScan Pro, I 
got a perfect scan and was able to find the word "or" in a significant sentence 
which made all the difference! So, an example of the need to have absolutely 
perfect scans sometimes.

I am certainly glad to have this scanning aid and would recommend it to 
anyone, regardless of their free-hand scanning skills. I think it will work 
both for those of us who have developed a facility with the various scanning 
apps and those who have had absolutely no success at all! But I would 
definitely recommend the use of 12 volts for relyable results in all situations!

Onwards and upwards! Sandy.

Re: Prizmo with StandScan Pro

Hello Sandy,

My StandScan Pro came with the battery holder as part of the StandScan. It 
wasn't an add on. I agree that the lighting must be better with the 12 V mains 
connected.

Re: Prizmo with StandScan Pro

Hello Anne and list
I want to order the StandScan pro but I am also considering 
to buy the AC adapter. My problem is that they give three 
pin configurations, for US, UK and europe. If I remember 
correctly the US has two flat pins but I am not sure of the 
UK and Europe. Here in South Africa we use adapters with two 
round pins. Which of the UK or Europe adapters will work?

RE: Prizmo with StandScan Pro

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Fanus,

You are correct, North America has 2 flat prongs and from how you describe
it your 2-round prong configuration sounds just like what I am used to from
growing up in Germany. However, I just did a Google search for "What power
plugs are used in South Africa" and I found the following website:

http://www.worldstandards.eu/electricity.htm

This website describes 14 different plug configurations (from type A through
type N) which are used around the world. According to this, Type M is most
widely used in South Africa and while it sounds similar to Type E and Type F
which are the German standards, I believe it is different. But I am sure you
can find an adapter or maybe the Standscan comes with some adapters. I once
bought a Skype desktop telephone from a company called Ipevo and it came
with about 6 different adapters. It is completely incomprehensible to me why
there isn't more standardization. I guess it wouldn't be an easy thing to
change something like that, but I'm sure it could be done over time.
Of course we all know that the German Type F "SchuKo" plug is the best
because, well... it's German *smile*

Sieghard

RE: Prizmo with StandScan Pro

[Ron Pelletier]

Hi Fanus,

I have been to South Africa but I can't remember which adaptor I used.  Of
course, you will need a converter as well as the adaptor because, in North
America we use 110-120 volts at 60 cycles and South Africa is 220 volts at,
I believe, 50 cycles.  Before leaving here, I purchased a 220 to 110 volt
converter and it came with 4 or 5 adaptors.  One of them definitely fits.  I
believe its 3 prong.  I think 2 round and a flat but I'm not absolutely
sure.  A set of adaptors is very inexpensive and available anywhere.  My
adaptors were, from European 2 round prongs to everything else.  If you need
a converter only for basic appliances, you don't need to purchase the
converter for electronics such as a computer.  A simple converter for
something like a shaver will work and is not very expensive at all.

Here's the link for the StandScan Pro:

It took nearly three weeks to arrive, but it's great.

Hello All.

I am going to order the Stand Scan Pro but would like to know, if I put in the 
destination of where I want to order it to, will the UK adaptor come 
automatically?

RE: Prizmo with StandScan Pro

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Fanus and Ron,

I think you should either inquire from the Standscan people or simply wait
until you get it, but if they are selling this thing worldwide I somehow
can't see that they don't at least make sure the adapter can handle both
110/120 and 220/240 Volts. As for your experience, Ron, I am not sure how
long ago this was and how old your devices are, but I have never had a
shaver in the last 10 years where I couldn't use the charger anywhere in the
world (with the appropriate adapter, of course), but no converter was
necessary. The same goes for the USB wall charger of the iPhone and pretty
much all laptop chargers, they nowadays all can handle both 110 at 60 Hertz
and 220 at 50 Hertz.

Sieghard

Hi Fanus,

I have been to South Africa but I can't remember which adaptor I used.  Of
course, you will need a converter as well as the adaptor because, in North
America we use 110-120 volts at 60 cycles and South Africa is 220 volts at,
I believe, 50 cycles.  Before leaving here, I purchased a 220 to 110 volt
converter and it came with 4 or 5 adaptors.  One of them definitely fits.  I
believe its 3 prong.  I think 2 round and a flat but I'm not absolutely
sure.  A set of adaptors is very inexpensive and available anywhere.  My
adaptors were, from European 2 round prongs to everything else.  If you need
a converter only for basic appliances, you don't need to purchase the
converter for electronics such as a computer.  A simple converter for
something like a shaver will work and is not very expensive at all.

Hi Fanus,

You are correct, North America has 2 flat prongs and from how you describe

growing up in Germany. However, I just did a Google search for "What power
plugs are used in South Africa" and I found the following website:

This website describes 14 different plug configurations (from type A through

widely used in South Africa and while it sounds similar to Type E and Type F
which are the German standards, I believe it is different. But I am sure you

Hi Fanus,

You are correct, North America has 2 flat prongs and from 
how you describe
it your 2-round prong configuration sounds just like what I 
am used to from
growing up in Germany. However, I just did a Google search 
for "What power
plugs are used in South Africa" and I found the following 
website:

http://www.worldstandards.eu/electricity.htm

This website describes 14 different plug configurations 
(from type A through
type N) which are used around the world. According to this, 
Type M is most
widely used in South Africa and while it sounds similar to 
Type E and Type F
which are the German standards, I believe it is different. 
But I am sure you
can find an adapter or maybe the Standscan comes with some 
adapters. I once
bought a Skype desktop telephone from a company called Ipevo 
and it came
with about 6 different adapters. It is completely 
incomprehensible to me why
there isn't more standardization. I guess it wouldn't be an 
easy thing to
change something like that, but I'm sure it could be done 
over time.
Of course we all know that the German Type F "SchuKo" plug

RE: Prizmo with StandScan Pro

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Annie,

It does specifically mention "Compatible with iPhone 5" on their website.

Anyhow, this will work with any iPhone or mobile phone with a rear facing
camera since all it really is is a fold-out open box where you lay your
phone on the top so the camera lens is pointing straight down through a
hole. The hole is situated so that anything you put underneath is perfectly
lined up. I don't have my Standscan yet, but I believe Sandy mentioned that
she had her husband glue something on the box which gave her an edge to put
the phone up against just so she wouldn't have to make sure the lens was
really pointing through the hole every time.

Sieghard

RE: Prizmo with StandScan Pro

[Ron Pelletier]

Hi Sieghard,

I've travelled quite a bit in countries that use 220-240 volts because of my
competitions and, even though my shaver told me it was safe on both, in two
occasions, after coming back from these countries, the battery in my shaver
was damaged to the point that it would only hold a charge for about 15
minutes.The first time, I thought it was just a coincidence so I didn't
pay attention but the second time, the battery was not even a year old.  Now
that I have a shaver with a Lithium-Ion battery, I suspect everything would
be OK but, I still have trouble trusting the devices that switch over
automatically.  I have a travelling iron that you switch over manually  with
a switch and I have had no damage on that.  Of course, it doesn't have a
battery.  I will still continue to bring my converter.  The last time, I
used it for my Victor Stream and everything was perfect. 
With the StandScan,  I would still check with the distributer to make sure
the converter does both.  Its just a question of sending an e-mail.

Ron & Danvers

Hi Fanus and Ron,

I think you should either inquire from the Standscan people or simply wait
until you get it, but if they are selling this thing worldwide I somehow
can't see that they don't at least make sure the adapter can handle both
110/120 and 220/240 Volts. As for your experience, Ron, I am not sure how
long ago this was and how old your devices are, but I have never had a
shaver in the last 10 years where I couldn't use the charger anywhere in the
world (with the appropriate adapter, of course), but no converter was
necessary. The same goes for the USB wall charger of the iPhone and pretty
much all laptop chargers, they nowadays all can handle both 110 at 60 Hertz
and 220 at 50 Hertz.

Sieghard

Hi Fanus,

I have been to South Africa but I can't remember which adaptor I used.  Of
course, you will need a converter as well as the adaptor because, in North
America we use 110-120 volts at 60 cycles and South Africa is 220 volts at,
I believe, 50 cycles.  Before leaving here, I purchased a 220 to 110 volt
converter and it came with 4 or 5 adaptors.  One of them definitely fits.  I
believe its 3 prong.  I think 2 round and a flat but I'm not absolutely
sure.  A set of adaptors is very inexpensive and available anywhere.  My
adaptors were, from European 2 round prongs to everything else.  If you need
a converter only for basic appliances, you don't need to purchase the
converter for electronics such as a computer.  A simple converter for
something like a shaver will work and is not very expensive at all.

Hi Fanus,

You are correct, North America has 2 flat prongs and from how you describe
it your 2-round prong configuration sounds just like what I am used to from
growing up in Germany. However, I just did a Google search for "What power
plugs are used in South Africa" and I found the following website:

http://www.worldstandards.eu/electricity.htm

This website describes 14 different plug configurations (from type A through
type N) which are used around the world. According to this, Type M is most
widely used in South Africa and while it sounds similar to Type E and Type F
which are the German standards, I believe it is different. But I am sure you
can find an adapter or maybe the Standscan comes with some adapters. I once
bought a Skype desktop telephone from a company called Ipevo and it came
with about 6 different adapters. It is completely incomprehensible to me why
there isn't more standardization. I guess it wouldn't be an easy thing to
change something like that, but I'm sure it could be done over time.
Of course we all know that the German Type F "SchuKo" plug is the best
because, well... it's German *smile*

Re: Prizmo with StandScan Pro

[Sandratomkins]

Hi to all you would be scanners! 

The stanndscann pro comes with a plug transformer and this works for both the 
uk and the us, so I imagine it will be fine for most, if not all, countries. 
The transformer plug has two round pins and so you may need to use an adaptor 
to suit your country's setup.

RE: Prizmo with StandScan Pro

[E V]

Hello Chris,

This is a stand with a LED light in the pro version, and it can be used with
any smart phone, and software has nothing to do with it. You can even take a
picture of a hard copy picture if you want.

So can any software work with the Stan Scan be it Saytext or Prismo?  I'm
going to look at one before I get it as I've never been able to scan using
my I phone and do not want to waste my money before I buy it.

Thanks again for all your help with this.

Re: Prizmo with StandScan Pro

[Anne Robertson]

Hello Kawal,

SayText doesn't work for me with the StandScan Pro, but Prizmo and Perfect OCR 
both do. The StandScan keeps the phone at a fixed position which does not seem 
to suit SayText.

In any case, I've never found SayText to be much good. Prizmo is definitely the 
best and fastest for me. PerFect OCR is pretty good, too, but takes much longer 
to do the OCR. I've never tried Text Detective which also has a good reputation.

Cheers,

Anne

Re: Prizmo with StandScan Pro

[Sandratomkins]

Hi,

I have only tried the StandScan with Prizmo and SayText. Prizmo is fine 
with it, but SayText doesn't work with it at all, as far as I can tell. This is 
because Prizmo is designed to take the shot at any height and work with the 
image, whereas, SayText needs to take tyhe shot from a greater distance in 
order to see the edges of the paper. The stand is not high enough for SayText 
to see the edges of a piece of A4, I suppose it might work with something 
smaller, but there would still be an issue re contrast because the StandScan is 
white, so no contrast with a sheet of paper.

Re: Prizmo vs. Text Detective

[David Chittenden]

Prizmo has a better OCR engine in it. It is always better to keep the page 
flat. Folds and creases appear as lines so must be sorted out by the OCR. In 
other words, they create more noise and potentially decrease OCR accuracy.

Re: Prizmo is on Sale

[Wayne Merritt]

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: Prizmo is on Sale

[Richard Turner]

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.

Re: Prizmo is on Sale

[Richard Turner]

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 2 is out.

[Richard Turner]

I have not seen anything in the US store.
Blind Square just had an update, but that is it.
Maybe it will turn up later tonight or tomorrow.
Did they add an easier way to do more than one page?
Or an easier way to retake a picture if the first scan did not work?
Thanks,


Richard

I also have not seen an update on my iPhone here in the states, yet.

I have not seen anything in the US store.
Blind Square just had an update, but that is it.
Maybe it will turn up later tonight or tomorrow.
Did they add an easier way to do more than one page?
Or an easier way to retake a picture if the first scan did not work?
Thanks,


Richard

Hi all.

Prizmo 2 is out.

You can now add pictures of more pages recognize them and export them to 
another app.


Prizmo 2 is a free update.

Cheers Annie.
