Mons, Belgium - Creaceed announces the availability of Prizmo Go version 3.0, a major upgrade to their photo-based text grabbing app for iPhone and iPad. Prizmo Go 3.0 brings a unique curved text recognition technique as well as a number of iOS 13 features such as Dark Mode, Apple OCR, Shortcuts Action, and Voice Control.

Prizmo Go is an innovative app that lets the user take a picture of printed or handwritten text and then recognizes it using optical character recognition (OCR) technology, avoiding the frustration of retyping it on screen. Part of said text can then be selected directly from the photo by swiping through it. Users can then interact with it or just copy/paste it to other apps or to the Mac.

Recognized text can be edited within the application, or read aloud with built-in speech synthesis. Information detected in the text such as website URLs, phone numbers, email addresses, QR codes, or physical addresses can be specifically activated. Text translation into 59 languages is also available.

Prizmo Go 3 is a major upgrade that brings specific handling of curved text. Indeed, everyday text often comes printed on curved pages, such as books, or magazines. The curvature often degrades the accuracy of text recognition, and sentence or word order is typically lost in the resulting text. Prizmo Go 3 introduces a unique technique for specific processing of curved text that handle these issues, improving both text recognition accuracy and text layout interpretation.

Prizmo Go 3 also adds a number of new features and optimizations for iOS 13. Dark Mode is provided throughout the app as well as updated interface icons (SF Symbols), Apple OCR (English) is supported as an additional highly accurate text recognition option, automatic orientation detection with custom-trained machine learning model (Core ML) is introduced for languages based on Latin alphabet. Finally, Prizmo Go 3 adds a parameterizable Shortcuts Action for automated image-based processing, as well as full compatibility with iOS 13 Voice Control, an accessibility feature that enables hands-free interaction with the app.

New features in 3.0:
* Curved text recognition
* Apple OCR (English, iOS 13 required)
* Dark Mode & user interface update (SF Symbols)
