iPhone 4s later and Ocr apps
Hello everyone, this is Chris here. Just a general enquiry really. I am due for an upgrade in October but can actually do it a month earlier. Because of the improved camera in the iPhone 4s and later, will apps like Prizmo work somewhat or a lot better than they do on the 4? Asking as I never really was successful with these apps, and a friend who also has the 4 experiences the same. I therefore put it down to the 5 Mp camera on the 4. Ok, the 4 is good for aps like Tap Tap See, or be it with mixed results, but a definite no no with apps like Prizmo. For example, I can do a quick capture of say a letter, and absolutely no text is detected at all, and yet this is in broad daylight with flash set to on etc. Any opinions welcome.

RE: iPhone 4s later and Ocr apps
Hi Chris, The 8 MP camera on the 4S and 5 is definitely a fair bit better. As for your lack of success with Prizmo, have you ever had a sighted person try this? It would tell you very quickly whether the problem is the camera or the fact that the picture you take is not focused enough, too blurry or whether the lighting is to blame. There is a possibility that if it is daylight and you use the flash you over-expose the picture which could be just as bad as if it is too dark. Keep in mind that this fall there also will be a new iPhone right around the time when you are allegeable to upgrade and there is a great likelihood that this new phone will have at least a 12 MP camera and hopefully other improvements which will allow developer of apps like Prizmo to achieve even better results.

Re: iPhone 4s later and Ocr apps
Anytime you can improve the camera you will improve the results of your scans. I have an iPhone 4 and use Text Grabber and get good results. Note: I didn't say perfect results but you can edit your document to correct typing errors. I got Text Grabber one day when it was free so I figured this would give me an opportunity to try OCR out. I was pleasantly surprised at how well it did work. - Original Message - From: Chris H To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Wednesday, June 26, 2013 12:31 AM Subject: iPhone 4s later and Ocr apps Hello everyone, this is Chris here.
