After the release of the zoom app, which is basically the iPhone's app for
zoom text. After all of the bitching and complaining that several blind
posters sent up wining that zoom texts app doesn't read for totally blind
people. I wanted to shout, "Don't you all know that zoomtext has never been
a scanning application!" It has always been large print first and a little
bit of OCR as an after thought. Before anyone runs out and buys a large
print app when you really need OCR, I thought I would let you know about
this little gem that I have been following. Here is a message that I am
forwarding to you all from another list. This is a little scanning app that
this lady has been playing around with for a while now. She keeps posting
comments about the app and sometimes showing the results of her efferts. It
really is pretty impressive!
Subject: Using Prizmo on holiday.
Hi,
Prizmo and I are on holiday in portugal! Just this morning I found
myself alone in the family apartment where we are staying. I opted to do
nothing this morning. Well, I was pootling around the place and found a
recipe book stand on the kitchen counter, complete with open book. So i
powered up Prizmo and, still leaving the book on its stand, snapped a page.
This involved lifting the phone toward me, not my usual practise, but I
wondered how Prizmo would do. Here is the result, not perfect, but it is the
first and only shot, no editing on my part, so you have it, warts and all!
Even so, I reckon I have enough info to know what is planned for supper! And
me a begetarian too!
Sandy.
