Prizmo
Scan & process documents with advanced editing, OCR, PDF & DOCX
Prizmo 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.

Universal Scanning Experience.
Prizmo is a scanning application with Optical Character Recognition (OCR) in 30 languages with powerful editing capability, text-to-speech, iCloud support, and translation into 59 languages. Prizmo can be used by everyone, thanks to its support of VoiceOver.
No matter what capture device's at hand, Prizmo is the key for scanning and recognizing text. 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...), as well as process business cards.
Prizmo 4.4 brings macOS Ventura optimisations as well as a major overhaul of text layout understanding for the OCR engine. Document layout parsing (OCR post-processing) has been upgraded for better text block & column generation. Recognized text blocks now better represent the original document intent for all supported OCRs.
A Powerful Mac OCR Application for Everyone. At last.
Time has come for Mac users who were waiting for a powerful OCR application. Prizmo is a user-friendly and reliable solution all Mac users can afford. It integrates state-of-the-art OCR technologies, and supports multipage documents.
See full list of supported languages below.
Document-specific Processing.
Prizmo includes a specific processing depending on the type of document you want to process:
Text: by default, Prizmo is optimized for text processing. Extract text from a document using the powerful OCR engine. The recognized text can be shared, translated, or read aloud using Text-to-speech technology.
Business Card: when importing a business card, select the Business Card type in the OCR tab in the bottom bar window. Contact information will be recognized, and it can be added to the address book, or shared as a vCard.
Image: disable OCR to just process images and export directly to JPEG, PNG, TIFF, PDF (image).
OCR Editing and Correction.
Prizmo's built-in OCR Engine is state-of-the-art technology, but it can sometimes be mistaken. That's why Prizmo enables you to update recognized information in several smart ways.
Add a region: if a paragraph was not recognized as such, you can add it on the document, and Prizmo will automatically process OCR on the newly added region.
Delete a region: imagine Prizmo recognized an image, but you are interested in outputting text only. You can delete unwanted regions with the following button.
Merge regions: if Prizmo splits a paragraph in several text regions, select these regions, and merge them in a single one. It will be much easier to proofread this way.
Reorder regions: region order matters when outputting recognized information, that's why all regions are numbered (numbers are visible both on the document preview, and in the right column). If the default order is not correct, you can reorder manually.
Besides, you can resize any regions at will.
Recognized information is available in the right column of Prizmo's main window. You can check if everything is correct, but you can also edit text, and correct any mistakes you might find in the text before export. No more post-processing needed!

When you take a picture of a document, lighting and centering are seldom perfect. A work environment or a house is indeed very different from a photo studio. Such pictures should be of poorer quality than the images processed with a scanner. It doesn't really matter however as Prizmo is able to correct perspective.
Select the area you want to process on the input photograph. Prizmo will use the grid to straighten the image. From now on, you don't need to take perfect pictures, Prizmo is able to process all images.
Focus: The image selected in the input picture (left), and the image Prizmo outputs after correcting perspective and some image processing (right).
Page Curvature Correction.
Have you ever tried to perform OCR on pages of a magazine or a dictionary? Words near the binding are warped, and lines look much more like curves than straight lines. Therefore, words near the binding are usually, and unsurprisingly, pretty badly recognized.
Once again, you can easily fix this in Prizmo by checking the "Flatten curved contents" feature.
Focus: the text on the input photograph (top), and what the same text looks like after correcting page curvature (bottom).
Online Service Integration.
File Sharing through iCloud.
Apple's iCloud makes all your changes everywhere. Your Prizmo documents will appear on your device, automatically. Neither syncing, nor file transfer required.
Prizmo supports iCloud for sharing editable documents across all your Macs, iPhones and iPads. So, you can start processing a very long document with Prizmo on the Mac at the office, and finish it when you are back home on your iPad.
Easily Access your Documents from Anywhere.
Processing OCR with Prizmo is a very good start, but sharing recognized information is usually the next step to be done. That's why Prizmo's output options include:
Evernote, for archiving any notes, and for syncing them across your computers and mobile devices,
Box, for storing all of your content online, so you can access, manage and share it from anywhere,
Dropbox, the online backup, file sync and sharing service,
Google Drive, for storing your files, sharing them with exactly who you want and edit them together, from any device,
WebDAV, standing for "Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning", is a set of extensions to the HTTP protocol which allows users to collaboratively edit and manage files on remote web servers.
Text-to-Speech (TTS).
Listen to Texts at your Pace.
After processing OCR on a document, you can ask Prizmo to read the text out loud for you. You can choose the voice and the speaking rate.
Besides, you have access to navigation settings for playing and pausing speech, and for going straight to the next or previous text region.
Interactive Reading Progress Display.
As soon as speech synthesis gets activated, each word is highlighted in yellow as it is pronounced.
In Prizmo's main window, you can easily recognize the text region which is being read by its blue dotted frame.
High-quality Voices.
Over 90 male and female voices in 26 languages (and their local variants) are available as free downloads. You can download these voices through System Preferences on your Mac. Choose Speech, and click "Customize..." in the System Voice menu to access the whole list of high-quality voices available.
