Export Pack allows for exporting text and files, open in other apps, and work with WorkFlow. Cloud OCR is an upgrade for the OCR, although the on-board OCR works well, the Cloud OCR claims to have better recognition and 6 more languages and is able to detect what language the text is automatically.<br \/>\nPrizmo Go recognizes the relationship of the camera to the image and tells the user to move or to adjust the angle or to turn the camera.<br \/>\nThis Free app with in-app upgrades is actually a pretty good OCR application and this being version 1.0 there is a good chance that we will see even more opportunities from the PrizmoGo App Team.
