About

StomaVision

Features
Read full description

StomaVision helps plant scientists, educators, and students examine stomata in microscope images on iPhone and iPad. Choose a photo or image file, run the on-device analysis, and inspect the resulting stomata overlay. Review counts and morphology summaries, apply calibration, refine detected instances, explore spatial relationships, and keep completed analyses in History. For larger studies, Batch lets you organize images into groups, apply calibration profiles, monitor progress, refine individual results, compare groups, and create shareable reports. Export options include CSV data, PDF reports, inspection PNGs, spatial-map packages, and reproducible ZIP packages. Leaf World is an interactive simulated environment for exploring stomatal and leaf-structure concepts. Its Broadleaf and Grass blade starting points are illustrative archetypes, not reconstructions or predictions of a specific specimen. Key workflows: - Import from Camera, Photos, or Files. - Inspect overlays and morphology summaries. - Calibrate and manually refine results. - Process and compare grouped image batches. - Export CSV, PDF, PNG, spatial-map, and ZIP artifacts. - Explore the interactive Leaf World simulation. StomaVision is intended for plant-science research and education. Results depend on image quality, acquisition conditions, calibration, and model behavior. Review detected instances and exported measurements before using them in downstream work.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: StomaVision at none against JEDict's 2. StomaVision also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). JEDict's advantage is device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
