It turns out that one of my issues with Prismo was that it wasn't recognizing
my scanner due to a bad installation.
I went in and cleaned out the scanners part of Printers and Scanners under
System Preferences, reinstalled the scanner and Voila!

OK, I'm still struggling with Prismo for OCR and I honestly can't figure out
what I'm doing or not doing. My scanner is apparently hooked up correctly and
recognized but I can't seem to just put something on it and have Prismo just
scan and read it.

Is anyone using the Prismo app for the Mac? I got my scanner hooked up and

I was doodling around in the mac app store and saw it and read about it and it

when this app was mentioned earlier regarding light sensing, I thought this was

Hi Lew,
The iPad 2 camera is too low resolution to give good results with Prizmo, at
least for visually impaired users. You can also tell this is the case by
trying to run Prizmo on a screen captured image -- where there is no shake in
taking a picture -- and comparing the results on an iPhone

Hello Paul,
The Light Detector app is just called Light Detector and you just launch it and
it plays a tone which rises with the light level.
Here are the instructions for Prizmo that Esther posted a little while ago.
