Prizmo is an application for scanning documents with your digital camera. From now on, if you can take a picture of something with your camera, you don't need to buy a scanner anymore. Save some room and money, and use Prizmo instead to scan your documents!
As Prizmo corrects lens distortion and perspective, you can scan almost everything:
- common documents (invoices, receipts) as well as less usual documents (boards, giant advertisements);
- documents of all sizes (regular formats like US Letter, US Legal, and custom);
- portrait and landscape documents;
- indoor and outdoor photographs...
New! Optical Character Recognition (OCR)
A user-friendly and reliable OCR solution all Mac users can afford is now available in Prizmo. So, you can really do without a scanner, even more now. Prizmo's character recognition technology supports 10 languages (English, French, German, Dutch, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Swedish, Danish and Norwegian). And the results are Spotlight indexable.
How does Prizmo work?
- Take a picture of your document.
- Import it into Prizmo.
- Select the part of the photograph you need.
- Easily process the image in a few clicks (change brightness, contrast, height and width...).
- Drag and drop it to your desktop.
- Send the image by email, print it, save it on your computer or on an external disk... as you like it!
New! How does OCR work? The first 3 steps above are the same. Then,
- Choose the text language.
- Set the binarization level.
- Save the OCR results as PDF, RTF or TXT, and that's it!
Prizmo is compatible with Leopard and Snow Leopard, and available in English, French and German. A user guide and screencasts are available, explaining how to use Prizmo and OCR.
