I think that's pretty amazing, and I even recognize the book. Great idea
and worth trying.

Subject: Prizmo and a cardboard box.
HI,
Below, please find an offering from Prizmo made using my latest
hands-free method. The reason I am trying this out is to try and find a way
for people to get reliable results from, say, Prizmo without having to worry
about positioning and lighting.
Today we received through the post something in a largish cardboard box.
I got my partner to cut an inch square rectangle in the centre of the
smallest side. I left the flaps that opened to allow one to empty the box
and placed the box on the other smallest end. I know this isn't clear and
will explain further if anyone is interested, but for now, I just want to
show that home-made ideas can work for reasonable OCR apps.
I placed a paperback book open inside the box, facing up toward the hole
previously cut and placed the phone so that the camera was positioned over
this hole. Prizmo was already launched so I just chose "text" then "camera"
and once I heard "auto focused" I gave the command to take picture.
Because the box was dark, helped by the keeping of the flaps, the flash
automatically was enabled and the below is the result. This is an OCR of
both pages shot at once. Not, perhaps, perfect, but quite acceptable IMHO.

% ! was sttting at Bjurman's desk and reading through the papers that she
had found in the drawers when she heard a knock on the door jamb and turned
to see Officer Bubble balancing two cups of coffee on his notebook, with a
blue bag of cinnamon rolls from the local kiosk in his other hand. Wearily
she waved him in.
"What don't you want me to touch?" Bublanski said.
~The techs have finished in here. They're still working on the kitchen and
the bedroom, The body's still in there." Bublanski pulled up a chair and sat
down. Modig opened the bag and took out a roll.
"Thanks, I was having such caffeine withdrawal I thought I'd die."
They munched quietly.
Modig licked her fingers and said, "I heard things didn't go so well at
Lundagatan."
"There was nobody there. There were unopened letters for •
Salander, but someone called Miriam Wu lives there. We haven't found her yet
either.~
"Who is she?"
"Don't really know, Faste is working on her background. She was added to the
contract about a month ago, but she just seems to be someone who lives in
the apartment. I think Salander moved without filing a change of address."
"Maybe she planned all this."
"What? A triple murder?" Bublanski shook his head dejectedly.
"What a mess this is turning into. Ekstr6m insisted on holding a press
conference, and now we're going to get it in the neck from the media. Have
you found anything?"
"Apart from Biurman's body in the bedroom, you mean? We found the empty box
for the Magnum. It's being checked for prints.
Bjurman has a file with copies of his monthly reports about Salander that he
sent to the guardianship agency, If they are to be believed, Salander is a
regular little angel, big-time."
~Not him too," Bublanski said.
"Not him too what?"
"Another admirer of Fr6ken Salander.~
Bublanski summed up what he had learned from Armansky and / .
. .
,
.
.
Blomkvist. Modig listened without interrupting. When he finished ,~;
she ran her fingers through her hair and rubbed her eyes. g'
"That sounds completely absurd," she said. ~
Bublanski tugged on his lower lip. Modig glanced at him and ~': had to
suppress a smile. He had a rough-chiselled face that looked ~ almost
brutal. But when he was confused or unsure of something, his expression
turned sullen. It was in those moments that she It; thought of him as
Officer Bubble. She had never used the nickname to his face and did not know
who had coined it. But it suited him perfectl)~
"How sure are we?~'
"The prosecutor seems sure. An A.P.B. went out nationally for Salander this
evening," Bublanski said, "She spent the past year abroad, and it's possible
she could try to leave again."
UBut how sure are we?"
He shrugged. ~We've taken people in for a lot less."
"Her prints were on the murder weapon in Enskede. Her guardian was murdered.
Without trying to get ahead of things, I'm guessing it's the same weapon
that was used here. We'll know tomorrow the techs found a fairly intact
bullet fragment in the bed frame." "Good."
"There are some rounds for the revolver in the bottom desk drawer. Bullets
with uranium cores and gold tips."
"Very useful."
"We have lots of paperwork that says Salander is unstable.
Bjurman was her guardian and he owned the gun."
Mmm . . .
e have a hnk between Salander and the couple in Enskede Mikael Blomkvist."
"Mmm.. - he said again.
"You don't Sound convinced."
~1 can't get a clear line on Salander. The paperwork says one thing but
Armansky and Blomkvist say something else. According to the paperwork she is
a progressively disabled near-psychopath.
According to the two men who have worked with her, she's a skilled
researcher. That's a huge discrepancy, We have no motive for Bjurman and
nothing to say that she knew the couple in Enskede."
