Prizmo could be used as a scanner app for paperless workflows, but I preferred to keep it on my devices as a dedicated utility to effortlessly extract and share text. With Prizmo Go, released today on the App Store, Creaceed is doubling down on Prizmo’s best feature with a separate app that’s been entirely designed with OCR and sharing text in mind.

While OCR was a feature of Prizmo, it becomes the cornerstone of the experience in Prizmo Go, which takes advantage of impressive new OCR technologies to make character recognition smarter, faster, and better integrated with other iOS apps. I’ve been using Prizmo Go for the past couple of weeks, and it’s one of the most intriguing apps I’ve tried in a while because it genuinely offers something new. Unlike its predecessor, Prizmo Go implements Microsoft’s Cognitive Services tech to perform cloud-based OCR.

Local, on-device character recognition built on Creaceed’s engine still exists with support for 10 languages, offline mode, and automatic language detection, but Cloud OCR (how the feature is called in the app) is what differentiates Prizmo Go from Prizmo.īy relying on Microsoft’s Computer Vision API, Cloud OCR in Prizmo Go can automatically detect text in 22 languages, including ones that aren’t supported by the built-in, non-cloud OCR such as Chinese, Japanese, and Arabic. To make Cloud OCR work in the app, Creaceed had to cleverly optimize the app’s engine for additional options: for instance, Prizmo Go supports both horizontal and vertical lines of text in Japanese via Cloud OCR – which required adjusting the app’s document layout engine to make the camera and API work together. As soon as you point the camera to something that has text in it (a document, a business card, another screen – whatever you want), you’ll get real-time text highlights directly in the camera view.įurthermore, there are other fascinating technical bits under the hood for both local and Cloud OCR: Prizmo Go offers image stabilization through sharpness tracking, and it pre-processes an image as you’re holding the iPhone’s camera to capture a document by doing perspective correction and a dynamic rescale to ensure the app is properly tracking the text you’ve meant to identify.Īll of this results in an innovative text scanner where Cloud OCR has been seamlessly integrated with iOS hardware.
