![]() Unfold one end and then the other so that the unit is completely flat. Take the Giraffe Reader out of the envelope.The user can either listen to the video on the Giraffe Reader website, or follow the instructions below. At this time, written instructions are not included with the Giraffe Reader. I was able to assemble the unit quickly and without sighted assistance. ![]() It also works with the 4th generation iPod touch and later. The Giraffe reader works with the iPhone 4, 4s, 5, 5s, and 5c. There are tactile notches and stickers to assist with folding it into the correct shape, and the device is held together extremely well by tiny but strong magnets. It was designed from the start to be used by people who are blind. The Giraffe reader feels like corrugated cardboard, but it is made from waterproof and strong polypropylene plastic. When folded flat, it measures approximately 8 1/8 inches by 9 3/4 inches by ½ inch, and weighs just over 3 ounces, making it extremely portable. The Giraffe Reader is an iPhone and iPod stand for scanning documents. The StandScan Pro and ABBYY TextGrabber and Translator were discussed in the June 2014 issue of AccessWorld. I will compare the Giraffe Reader with the StandScan Pro and I will compare Prizmo with the ABBYY TextGrabber and Translator, an app used to scan and read text. But Prizmo Go’s mission is to quickly capture any text, copy/interact with it, offer accessibility option (like reading text aloud for low-vision users), and even translate it, and we work hard to provide the best options available to achieve that.This article describes the new Giraffe Reader, a stand for document scanners, and an existing scanning app, Prizmo. Handwriting is an important new feature of version 2.0 for sure, together with machine learning automatic translation and the new built-in OCR (that only works with print). Just send it to please note that Prizmo Go is not just about handwriting though. We would also appreciate if you could send us a sample image of the handwritten text you used to test the app with, it would surely help us for future testing. The technology to process handwriting is improving rapidly, and we opted to offer it as soon as possible, even though it’s really just the beginning, as it can help in certain situations. Handwriting recognition from an image (which is know as off-line recognition, as opposed to on-line, where the full path and timing data are available) is a very hard problem that was mostly non-working until recent advances in machine learning. The search for a good handwriting OCR continues. The scan was only about 10% accurate and that was the typed text on the form. ![]() Tested the app for POC for my office needs as we scan packs of handwritten forms. Volume Purchase (VPP): see Prizmo Go (Volume Ed.) (*) Requires a purchase, see app for available options. iOS: Dark Mode, Core ML, Apple OCR, Shortcuts Actions, SF Symbols, Voice Control (Accessibility) URL scheme mechanism (x-callback-url) to trigger Prizmo Go from other apps like Shortcuts, and retrieve recognized text. Supports Action Extension and 'Open In' iPad Multitasking: support for Slide Over/Split View Copy to the Mac with Universal Clipboard Deep integration with Dynamic Type for improved & customisable text appearance Spoken guidance prior to actual shooting Full support of VoiceOver and improved workflow for low vision and blind users Audio (text-to-speech) reader with word highlighting Interaction with detected information: phone numbers, email addresses, physical addresses, websites (*) Copy/paste to other apps or to the Mac (*) Text selection by swiping through the picture Accurate Cloud OCR (*) option (Internet connection required) Robust neural network-based on-device OCR (works without internet connection) + Apple OCR Orientation detection (machine learning) Real-time text highlighting in camera preview Camera-based text capture for iPhone & iPad ![]() That, combined with its text-to-speech capabilities, make it a great companion in case you need help reading printed documents. Prizmo Go comes with enhancements specifically built for VoiceOver, in addition to spoken guidance prior to shooting. Selected text can then be read aloud, or you can tap to browse to any printed website address, call phone numbers, trigger Mail app from an email address, or even reveal physical address in Apple Maps and initiate navigation to that place. After shooting, text from the original picture is revealed, and swiping through it allows fast and accurate text selection directly from the image. Feels like magic, just at your fingertips.Īdditionally, Prizmo Go provides rich interactions with the captured text. And if you've got a Mac, you can even copy/paste it there. After text is recognized in a blink of an eye, you can interact with it in many useful ways. ![]() It's yours! Prizmo Go lets you quickly grab text with the camera. ![]()
