Developed by Creaceed, Prizmo has always stood out among iOS scanner apps thanks to its accurate and fast OCR. I miss Honda Bob and the awesome Honda Bob commercials! The NosillaCast is the only one I listen to regularly without skipping one.I’ve long been using Prizmo to quickly extract text contained in photos using the iPhone’s camera. I do not consider myself a real NosillaCastaway as I only have been in the live chat once, but the show feels like home and part of the family. Last but not least: I have been a silent listener since summer 2006 and I have not missed a show since then. It is free, but for daily use, it makes sense to buy the “Premium Pack” or to choose one of their subscription options. Prizmo 5 can be found here in the App Store. I have no idea, if it really works that great, but the video looked impressive for sure. Afterwards, it is able to read out loud the contents of the scan.

Apparently, the app is able to help visually impaired users by telling them how to position their iPhone in order to scan a document correctly, when it comes down to the angle for instance. What absolutely blew me away was the demo video in the App Store. Still, they are at least as good as in other scan apps like Scanner Pro, which I had been using for years as my number one scan app until now as I have discovered Prizmo 5. I was able to achieve results that make it really hard to determine if I used my ScanSnap or if I used Prizmo 5 on my iPhone.Ĭoncerning the on-device OCR results, I am fine with it, but at least in combination with German they are not as stellar as in the demo video. Prizmo 5 works very good in automatic mode, but I really like that I am able to even further improve the automated results manually afterwards: those scans can be improved from very good to just awesome that way. The scans done automatically with Prizmo 5 are very good already and I love the options to manually get contrast, brightness, perspective and much much more right afterwards, if necessary. This option only works with scans in English handwriting. The cloud option also comes with OCR for handwritten documents. I have not tried the cloud option because I was not ready for one more subscription. For $49.99 annually, you get 500 OCR cloud requests per month. Those subscription options include the Premium Pack and for $9.99 annually, you get 50 OCR cloud requests per month. There are also subscription options available that are necessary if you want to use optional OCR cloud options that are more powerful in comparison to the on-device OCR according to Creaceed. Apparently, these are introductory prices that will be raised in a week.

Well, I tried the app and I already went for the €9.99 in-app purchase (it is called “Premium Pack”, $8.99 for US customers according to the app store website, and $4.99 as an upgrade from a previous version). “Yeah, whatever…” That was my first reaction, because I have been hearing such claims over and over again. In his article, John Vorhees writes that he owns a ScanSnap S1300i, but that he is not sure why anymore. On Wednesday, I stumbled upon this article from and I was intrigued. There is some blurriness to it, which I do not like very much.

If you take a really close look at a PDF generated from an iOS scan app, you should be able to see that the PDF originates from a scanner app and not from a dedicated real scanner.

But, still, those apps are absolutely no replacement for a dedicated scanner as far as I am concerned.

I have been a Scanner Pro user for years and that is a very good app. Yes, I am aware of the fact that there have been a lot of scan apps for iOS that “replace” hardware scanners for some users.
