OCR on the Mac? You gotta be kidding me.
I still can hear those Windows fanboys yelling at me years ago. But when I showed them Prizmo for Mac, they actually shut up. Prizmo by Creaceed is an awesome (yes, awesome) application for Mac OS X that allows you to snap pictures of, say, documents with your digital camera, import them via USB and see the magic happen as the app recognizes text (10 languages are supported), makes a Spotlight-searchable index, adjusts the picture’s brightness and perspective, too. It is indeed magic.
Prizmo is coming to the iPhone, and if you think about the new iPhone camera…that’s a new app on my waiting list.
