An Innovative Scanning Experience for the Mac

Universal Scanning Experience

Scanning can happen in many different ways, and Prizmo supports all of them.
Whatever you want to scan, and however you plan to do it, Prizmo is the way to go.

From Digital Cameras
Tethering Support
Prizmo fully supports tethered capture:
Plug your Canon or Nikon DSLR to your Mac, and shoot pictures right from within Prizmo with a single click.
Take a picture with your connected iPhone while Prizmo is open, and the picture will automatically get imported.
Compact cameras, DSLRS,... every digital camera is fine. The higher resolution the better of course, but you can get good results even with the camera of an iPhone 4(S).

Nowadays, cameras often have 10-megapixel sensors. A 10-megapixel image is roughly as good as, or even better than, a 300-dpi US-Letter scan. After some image improvements, you can even go beyond 600 dpi with such images. So, you can really do without a scanner, even more now.



From Scanners
Prizmo supports most current connected and Wi-Fi scanners.

Access the scanner from within Prizmo, select the area to be scanned, the resolution, the format... The scanned document is automatically imported into Prizmo where you can apply OCR.

The whole list of supported scanners is available here.



Even from your Screen

You can process OCR on screenshots.
Prizmo automatically detects if the input picture is a screenshot, and applies a specific processing for improving its resolution. This way, a 72-dpi screenshot can turn into a 288-dpi picture! This is much better suited for getting accurate OCR results.






Have you ever tried to copy text which could not be selected, no matter what you did? Now, there's a way to copy unselectable text from any application or website!
You can process OCR on text visible on your screen in one of the supported languages, save the recognized text to the clipboard, and paste it just wherever you want (Mail, Pages...).

Document-specific Processing
Prizmo includes a specific processing depending on the type of document you want to process:
Text: choose the Text mode for processing OCR on regular texts like letters, newspaper articles, magazines, etc. The recognized text can be shared, translated, or read using Text-to-speech technology.
Business Card: this mode is suitable for recognizing contact information, and adding it to the address book, or sharing it as a vCard.
Image: choose this mode if you want to straighten pictures for instance. No OCR processing will be applied to documents in this mode, only the image processing settings are available for fine-tuning.


What is more, you can fully edit OCR results: correct spelling errors, add or delete regions where OCR has to be applied, reorder paragraphs... More details about how to edit and correct text here.
