Prizmo 4 is a scanning application with Optical Character Recognition (OCR) in 28 languages with powerful editing capabilities, text-to-speech, iCloud support, and translation into 59 languages.

No matter what capture device is at hand, Prizmo is the best option for scanning and performing OCR. It works with pictures taken with your iPhone, iPad, or digital camera, with documents coming from connected or Wi-Fi scanners, even with screenshots! It will help you easily scan any documents (invoices, receipts, boards, giant advertisements...) of any sizes (US Letter, US Legal, A4, and custom)...

"My results were great, 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)

Optimized for macOS Ventura.

Bien mais quand même pas mal d’erreur d’OCR...

C’est mon deuxième OCR. J’en fait un usage plutôt axé archivage. J’aime : L’interface qui permet de rajouter des images, des PDF et de les organiser (orientation, alternance OCR/full image). La facilité de switch texte/image. La possibilité de faire de l’OCR avec un équivalent de capture d’écran partielle (cmd + shift + 4). Le prix abordable. La coloration orthographique du résultat de l’OCR. La simplicité des paramètres d’OCR. Je n’aime pas : Le taux d’erreur de l’OCR qui a du mal avec des caractères pourtant classique sur des supports pourtant propres. Le poids des PDF (indexés) obtenus. Les zones de textes sont stockées avec la même résolution (et poids donc) que les images. Du coup les PDF ont le poids des images dont ils sont issus + peanuts (le texte sans mise en forme). L’impossibilité d’exporter en DOC, DOCX, ODT, … (seul RTF sans style, PDF, et quasi tous les formats d’image). L’impossibilité de récupérer le texte et son style. Donc idéal pour de l’archivage (PDF indexé), cartes de visite et récupération partielle d’information (Copier/coller).

OCR ineficaz

O OCR -Optical Character Recognition é realmente muito ruim, não reconhece 40% dos caracteres.

Brauchbar nur mit manuellen Korrekturen

Ich habe nach einem Programm gesucht, welches den Text auf eingescannten PDF Dateien erkennt. Leider ist das Programm für mich nicht geeignet, da viele Fachbegriffe oder Sonderzeichen nicht richtig erkannt werden, wodurch ich langwierige manuelle Korrekturen vornehmen muss. Schwierigkeiten hat das Programm auch mit Texten, die unterschiedliche Sprachen oder verschiedene Textformatierungen (z.B. Italics) beinhalten. Andere Programme zum selben Preis ergeben bessere Resultate. Ferner setzt das Programm den erkannten Text, je nachdem wieviele Text-/Grafikbausteine erkannt wurden, neu zusammen, wobei die ursprünglichen Positionen in der exportierten PDF Datei jedoch nicht korrekt wiedergegeben werden. Die Resultate sind daher nicht vorhersehbar, selbst wenn man den Text mühevoll selbst korrigiert hat. Für fließenden Text, der in einer Sprache ohne Abbildungen verfasst ist, sind die Resultate hingegen meistens ok.

extremely buggy and limited

Find & Replace doesn’t work properly. It finds pattern that doen’t macht and searching is limited to the current page. It often throws away your work and substitutes it with its crappy ocr output. Text placement ist very bad and no meta information can be edited.

Does not work with macos 10.12 Sierra

Prizmo always had stability problems but was OK and ususally got the job done. It does not work in Sierra. Two stars assuming it will be patched soon...

Nothing Opens

Hey, I am not able to open any kind of a document. I tried pdf, jpg, but it says file format not supported...

Absolute Crap

The only reason I gave it one star is because it actually did download, install and launch. After that…who do i see about getting my $53.55 back?
