What is said about Prizmo?

“Prizmo’s optical character recognition abilities are impressive. It does a good job of recognizing printed type, not just in a flat image but also in distorted, perspective-altered camera images. Suddenly those off-the-cuff, spontaneous images are usable again.” (by Linda Maloney – MacNN)

“I tried the software on four different documents, all white paper with black text and attempted a number of different angled photographs. Happily and almost surprisingly they all worked perfectly. The amount of image control in Prizmo is impressive for a $40 application. (by David – www.totalapps.net)

My results were great, despite not being able to calibrate for lens distortion, and it could definitely act as my only scanner. But, it really isn’t only a scanner, it can be used on anything. If you see a movie poster or an ad that you like, and would like to have documented, just take a picture, and Prizmo will help you with perspective, cropping and everything else.” (by Joe Turner – MacApper)
