Hi Jenny, I don't know of any podcasts that demo the use of Prizmo, but you can check out the Guide at the AppleVis web site: • A Guide to Using Prizmo, a Scanning and OCR Application for the iPhone http://www.applevis.com/guides/guide-using-prizmo-scanning-and-ocr-application-iphone
The guide assumes that you use the app without any supporting stand, so it is set up for voice activation -- the picture gets taken when you say, "Take Picture". This makes it easy to take the picture without moving the camera when you take the shot and reduce the chance for image blur, but it also means that in this mode VoiceOver's volume drops once you enter the camera screen until you take the picture, This is presumably designed to get a better trigger off your voice command to "Take Picture" and minimize extraneous noise. With a support stand you might rely on the stand to keep the phone from moving when you take an exposure. I know that David Chittenden has described how he uses Prizmo without voice activation for the shot, by resting one finger on the "Take Picture" button (just above the Home button, at the bottom center of the screen), then trying to hold the phone still and doing a split tap with another finger on the screen. That method might work well for people using a supporting stand, since it would not have to drop the volume level of VoiceOver. Similarly, part of the guide assumes that you need to check brightness level before taking a picture, so there are details about using the Light Detector app for that. With the StandScan Pro you'd be using the lights included in the unit. I'll just state that although there are different processing screens for working with the image and doing the OCR processing, you'll mainly be double tapping the "next" button in the top right corner of the screen, rather choosing options to correct or modify the image. HTH.
