Summary: <p>In this podcast, Victor Tsaran demonstrates how the Prizmo OCR app now takes advantage of functionality introduced in iOS 8 to enable you to perform character recognition directly from within the Photos app or Camera app.</p> <p>In his demonstration, Victor shows how this can be used with a screenshot captured on his iPhone. In this case, it’s a screenshot of a web page which VoiceOver doesn’t read very well. You might also find this a useful technique for determining exactly what text an app is displaying if VoiceOver won’t read it.</p> <p>Please let us know in the comments if you find any other good uses for this functionality.</p> <p><a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/prizmo/id366791896?mt=8&ign-mpt=uo%3D8&at=11l4LS" target="_self">Prizmo - Scanning, OCR, and Speech is a $9.99 download from the iTunes App Store</a>.</p>
