Creaceed releases Prizmo 5.0, a major reboot of their photo-based scanning app for iPhone & iPad. Prizmo lets the user take a picture of printed or handwritten text and then recognize it using optical character recognition (OCR) technology. The recognized text can then be selected from the photo by swiping through it. Version 5.0 sports a new, streamlined capture workflow, powerful editing capabilities and new OCRs that improve daily document processing tasks, new image enhancements, and more.
Mons, Belgium - Creaceed releases Prizmo version 5.0, a major reboot of their photo-based scanning app for iPhone and iPad. Ten years after its initial release on the Mac, Prizmo is back on iPhone and iPad. Prizmo 5.0 redefines mobile document scanning with a new, streamlined capture workflow, alongside powerful editing capabilities and new OCRs that will improve daily document processing tasks. This release also features new image enhancements, rich export options, pro automation capabilities, and improved accessibility options.
Prizmo lets users take a picture of a document, clean it up, recognize its text using OCR, and export it as a searchable PDF directly to cloud storage. Unlike most scanning apps, Prizmo, when needed, provides full control over the whole process thanks to its non-destructive editing tools, fine-grained OCR options, and automation capabilities. This makes it a trusted mobile scanner for all types of users from casual to advanced, and including blind & low-vision users as well as those with dyslexia who can use it as a reading aid.
Prizmo 5.0 brings literally dozens of new features, among which a new capture workflow specifically tailored for speed, autoshoot and auto upload of PDF, new image editing tools like page curvature flattening and edge repair, two new machine learning OCRs, and improved export options like PDF with JBIG2 for extremely small files and DOCX to output both text and layout in editable form to other apps like Apple Pages or Microsoft Word. Pro tools like batch processing and automation are also proposed in this release.
