Price: $9.99 -> $4.99, Version: 3.0 (iTunes)
Description:!! 50% off for the release of Prizmo 3!!
Prizmo is a universal photo-based scanner app that lets you scan and recognize text documents, business cards, and images, and then export them as PDF/Text, vCard, or JPEG/PNG. Prizmo relies on state-of-the-art technologies, like a highly accurate OCR, real-time page detection, and beautiful image cleanup. Using iCloud, you can even shoot the picture on your iPhone, and finish editing on your iPad or Mac. All of this in an elegant and intuitive user experience.
Prizmo is made for everyone, and is thus fully compatible with VoiceOver. It provides voice guidance to help position your iPhone when taking document pictures, and will find the text orientation automatically if it's turned left, right or upside down. Prizmo's quick capture mode provides a fast path from picture to speech synthesis for an improved workflow, and it provides a high-quality voice reader (individual voices available as in-app purchases).

What's New
** New iOS7 features **
- Elegant user interface. More clarity and deference to your content.
- Transparency & layering (parallax) throughout Prizmo user interface for a more natural user experience.
- Support for themes and user photo-based backgrounds that react to motion.
- Prizmo now supports Dynamic Type. You can now adjust font size in global settings of your iPhone/iPad, and even use accessibility fonts right in Prizmo.
- Built-in speech synthesis voices (from OS) are now proposed for reading text, in addition to our high-quality voices (available as in-app purchases).
- Background download of OCR data and purchased voices. You don't need to keep Prizmo active until downloads are complete, it installs them in the background for you!
** Other new features **
- Multi-image picker: you can now add multiple images to your Prizmo document as a single step for faster workflow
** Accessibility improvements **
- Voice Reader can now play sound in the background. You can now work in some other app or lock the iPhone and still be able to listen to your scanned text.
- Voice Reader now supports being controlled (next phrase / previous phrase) by external peripherals/remotes and lock screen controls. It can also play to AirPlay devices / Bluetooth peripherals (car audio system).
- Voice Reader now supports reading entire text document (not just a single page)
- Voice Reader maximum speech rate can now be adjusted from Prizmo settings (Accessibility section)
- Camera level detection: when VoiceOver is active, Prizmo performs level detection and vibrates when the device is parallel to the table to let the user know that orientation is optimum.
- Camera: more natural tap-focusing, similar to iOS built-in camera app.
** Export **
- Black and white cleaned-up documents exported as PDF are now compressed with a specific bi-level method, leading to much smaller file sizes (option has to be enabled in Prizmo settings)
- Native Prizmo documents can be exported by mail, or sent to another app.
- Text can be exported either as mail attachment or mail body.
- Export to Apple's Message application
- Option to save all taken pictures to Album (Settings)
** Automation update **
- the URL parameter name for the captured text passed to another app can now be customized (prizmo://captureText?textParameterName=customname&x-success=anotherapp://). Prizmo can now interoperate more easily with applications like Editorial.app that require a specific parameter name.
** Bugfixes & improvements **
- Exported documents (PDF, text…) now preserve document name
- Canceling an export (even when OCR is running) is now immediate
- Accessing camera no longer stops background music
- Improved processing of large documents (OCR and export as PDF)
- More robust document handling (renaming, removing)
- Faster processing of document thumbnail, leading to shorter launch time
- Oriented PDF (rare) are now correctly handled (could crash before)
- Faster page switch on iPad (now asynchronous)
