I don't believe it can do those things. I use it primarily for reading mail and find it does pretty good job reading printed pages. As far as captures and reading computer screens, I really don't think so, but maybe someone will chime in with more information. Sent from my IPhone > On Jun 21,

I've used it, though I don't think the process is as smooth as it cold be. 1. Open Prizom, and hit cmd-n for a new document. 2. Select "import from scanner or camera". 3. Choose your scanner from the scroll area, then use the second scroll area to configure any options. Once done, hit the "scan"

I have Prizmo, and it can be pretty confusing. Honestly, the best thing to do is to contact Prizmo. I used Twitter, but email works as well. They are great about answering questions and taking feedback, especially if you explain you are using VoiceOver. On Mar 14, 2014, at 4:35 PM, Jenine Stanle

Hi. I have tried prizmo 2, in fact I bought it rather cheap, so I have a copy and I am keeping an eye on it. We have not reached the point where it is the best OCR choise. I will send a mail more about OCR today, because finereader has released a pro version for mac. Best regards Annie. Den 05

No, I still have a 4 s. Notice I said still have. I am planning to get a 5 s with as much memory as possible as soon as I get around to it. Like you, I had poor results until I discovered that when it vibrated in my hand I needed to tell it again to scan the page. It didn't work on all my page

Hello Paul, You probably need something to help you keep the iPhone flat and steady. Have you thought of using either a StandScan Pro or a ScanBox? Both devices provide ideal lighting and positioning for getting a good clear picture. Both devices are considerably cheaper than a cheap flatbed sc

Hello Gigi. I have never been good at scanning anything with my IPhone. I've tried everything and haven't had any success. I guess I don't have the scanning gift. The only app I've been able to use successfully is the Looktel Money reader. I'll try Prismo with IOS 7 and see what happens. I'm glad i

The vibration feature is new in their most recent update. I'll have to try it again; I never got good results in the past, so let's see how it works now. Are you using this on a 5S? If so, your better results may be due to the camera's improvement as well. On Sep 26, 2013, at 12:48 PM, Eugenia F

Hi Erik, On the iPhone 4 camera, provided the lighting conditions are good, you'll hear VoiceOver say "auto focus" as you hold your iPhone at various distances above a page with printed text. You can try this with the regular camera app without taking a picture or trying to line up the camera

These instructions helped a lot. I at least got it to take a picture and convert the results. The only thing I'm missing is the auto focus. I'm not seeing it in the settings or in the camera window. Anybody know where I should go to turn that on? Thanks, Erik Burggraaf User support consult

Hello Erik, I've had very good results with Prizmo on my iPhone 4 both in English and French. First of all, you can use a voice command to take the picture which reduces the risk of blurring the image. Also, you have to have a headset plugged in because the sound comes through the phone speake
