![]() ![]() Inside Keep It’s share sheet extension, you can even label the note and put it into a particular sub-folder if you choose. Now, when reading, I can simply grab the text directly from my physical Bible, copy the text, and create a new note in Keep It from the share sheet. After highlighting inside my physical book, I’ll grab the same passage from any app or on the web, paste into a new Keep It note, and label the note with the appropriate label color.īut Prizmo Go eliminates the need to venture into a second app or onto the web. In my duplicated note-taking process, I’ve applied that same highlight color to a label inside Keep It. ![]() Rolling Prizmo Go into Keep ItĪs I’m reading through my physical Bible, I’ll stop and consider what I’m reading before selecting a pre-defined highlight color to denote the purpose of the passage. I purchased just the Export Pack, as Cloud OCR is beyond my needs. Premium Plan Subscription ($9.99 annual subscription): Provides all Export Pack features as well as Cloud OCR (provides character recognition for 26 different languages as long as you have an internet connection).Export Pack ($7.99 one-time purchase): Provides the option to copy or share the processed text without any watermarks or pre-generated text.Prizmo Go is available for free and has two in-app purchase options: You can even go so far as to select which text you’re trying to capture through your camera - if a textbook page has lots of text, you can pinpoint the exact text you want Prizmo Go to capture. You can also have Prizmo Go scan screenshots fed into the app and the app will perform on-device OCR to recognize the text in the screenshot. Simply point your camera at text - be it on a screen or of a tangible book - and Prizmo Go will produce shareable text. Prizmo Go cuts out the “image” part of this workflow - using your iPhone’s camera, Prizmo Go scans for text through the iPhone’s (or iPad’s) camera lens and immediately produces text for you to share or send anywhere on iOS. So, if you came across a great quote on your iPhone, you could easily screenshot an image of the quote and save it to Keep It knowing it would make the screenshot searchable in your large library of notes. The software scans each image or photograph for text, then makes that text searchable within the app. Keep It excels at performing OCR on images or photos. It was a tedious sequence of duplicated work, but one I felt was worth the duplication if it was to last my entire lifetime.īut when John Voorhees discussed Prizmo Go, a text capturing tool, over on MacStories, I knew I had found a tool that would work for all my long-term research needs (and, for that matter, school study needs as well). Write any notes beside the passage that I’d want to read in the future.Highlight the passage with the correct color.Search for the exact passage I had physically highlighted in a Bible app.To do this, I originally highlighted or marked up a passage or note in my physical Bible before making the exact same note and reference in Keep It. Essentially, I want to keep everything in one spot. However, in my context: I found over the summer that I prefer to physically write in the book I’m reading, as I can then view my other notes and highlights as I’m reading, rather than having to consult a digital app to view references I’ve made in the past. My long-term research project revolves around Bible study, but I think any recent fine-tuning may be more relevant for those writing a thesis or a book - that of capturing text in tangible books rather than capturing screenshots or images. Such has been the case with my long-term research workflow over the summer. New apps debut, new ideas are uncovered, and new habits are formed to better perfect a workflow to your needs. Every workflow - especially one that is used year after year - is bound to undergo changes and fine-tuning. ![]()
