## More information about Prizmo Go 4.0 ##

Prizmo Go 4.0 is an important update that brings major improvements to text processing (OCR), rich interactions, as well as optimization for iOS 16 & important bug fixes.

Prizmo Go is the reference app for effective text grabbing on iOS that will give you a significant upgrade over the built-in Live Text feature for when you need it, in terms of covered languages (139 vs. 8), handwriting, recognition accuracy, AI-based translation, text selection experience, and interaction/sharing capabilities.

TEXT PROCESSING / OCR

- Major update of the Cloud OCR engine that now supports 139 languages as well as handwriting in 9 languages, and which further improves its already state-of-the-art accuracy. Also, handwriting vs. print handling is now fully automatic, with no user pre-selection needed.
- Major overhaul of text layout understanding for both on-device and Cloud OCR engines. Text layout gets a new interpretation from raw OCR output for improving text selection.
- Cloud OCR is now faster by using the nearest server. Server location can be manually changed "Settings > Cloud OCR > Server Location".
- Cloud OCR still provides excellent privacy on top of its industry-leading performance, with user data being immediately deleted after processing & not used for any other purpose.

RICH INTERACTIONS

- Detected datas like phone numbers, postal addresses, URLs, emails, QR codes are now directly highlighted over the image for immediate interaction by tapping.

BUSINESS MODEL UPDATE

- "Export Pack" has been renamed as "Essential Pack" with no feature change. "Premium Plan" is now "Pro Plan", with the same features. An intermediate subscription plan "Standard Plan" is now offered with limited cloud features (OCR quota & no AI-based translation) at a more affordable pricing. A one-week trial period is now available for all plans.

OTHER ENHANCEMENTS

- Added a Lock Screen widget for quick access to Prizmo Go.
- Added support for text-to-speech new "Premium" quality voices of iOS 16.
- Use of contextual menus with modern iOS style all over the app.
- Added the ability to choose the source language when translating a text.

Prizmo Go now requires iOS 14 or higher.
