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.

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.

Hello Fred
Hi Richard,
Out of curiosity, did you set the recognition language for TextGrabber
to English under settings before you ran your scan? This option is at
the start of the Settings screen. Just a first thought based on my
experience with using OCR programs in multiple languages. And even

I judge that Prizmo is the clear winner in your tests.

an app that doesn't remember my settings.
The paper was square, etc.
Also, you can use line, word or character navigation in Prizmo just fine, which
I think Sandy had mentioned as an advantage for TextGrabber, but
Richard, I would check the alignment of your iPhone against the edge of the
box. Those look like skew errors for Text Grabber. Text Grabber is almost not
at all forgiving for skew whilst Prizmo gives some skew forgiveness. Note: skew
is tilt of text off the 90 degrees horizontal and vertical
Hi Richard,
Once you set your language in Text Grabber, it will save that setting
until you choose to change the setting.

I don't know how relevant this comment might be, but based on lots of
experience scanning with an application that offers a choice of ocr engine,
Fine Reader and Omnipage, I have found that there are definitely occasions that
one engine does better than the other, and this may change with the
