Best app to help deaf people transcribe voice to text

Does anybody know of an app that helps deaf people get other people conversations to text?

I appreciate your help, guys!
I've already backed up the Mac's files using Time Machine, but I want to use another app to copy the files from the Mac's HDD to an external USB drive just in case there's something wrong with Time Machine.
I've been struggling with this unresponsiveness from my Mac for a long time now. Could someone PLEASE help me out? My thread: Fresh Install of Yosemite and still spinning beachballs...

  • Is the 'Undercover' app the best app for the job ?

    Hi,
    Is the 'Undercover' app the best app for help finding a lost iPhone/Touch or is there an app that does a better job ?
    Thanks

    Short of getting MobileMe that is probably the best you are going to come up with. You will have to hope that whoever finds the iPhone actually plays the game and that you check for this information close to the time they do so. You also need to hope they don't connect the iPhone to their computer which will wipe the app from the device.

  • What is the best voice to text app for iPad Air?

    I had the app Dragon (a voice to text app), on my iPhone and downloaded it to my iPad Air, but it's not working. Reading the "help" area it says something about ATT iPads don't support it. I have ATT.
    But, I can open the app and it reads "Tap and dictate" as though all is fine and dandy and then after practically yelling into almost every part of the iPad (to no avail), it just says " Sorry message not recognized. Please try again."
    Can anyone help me on this?  Also is there a better/best dictation app for iPad?
    Thanks, Joan

    You can use text-to-speech in any app. I'm a big fan of the app Drafts as it allows two touch tranfer to any number of other applications, not unlike how I recall Dragon worked. If you don't want to spring for Drafts (though I can't recommend it highly enough!), you can always use the built in Notes app then copy and paste when you're done. 
    No, you can't see the words as you speak. However, you can always stop after a couple of sentences and review.
    Best of luck.

  • What is the best voice to text paid app for iphone 5?

    what is the best voice to text paid app for iphone 5?

    I use Dragon Dictation, but it is free. The microphone also works for dictating text in the Messages app, notes, email. With that, you just tap on the microphone key by the space bar.
    Is this what you are looking for? Why does it have to be a paid app?

    iCloud can do it..
    http://www.apple.com/au/support/icloud/back-to-my-mac/
    You need Lion and latest firmware on the TC..
    Were you hoping to use the ipad/iphone??  That maybe possible but I am not sure how.
    You cannot use windows without opening SMB to some strange port and this is going to mess with security.. you also need a static ip address from your ISP.. most private net users do not have this.
    You can do it via vpn.. you will need to buy a vpn router and bridge the TC to it.
    Just google remote access time capsule.. there are a zillion posts about it.

  • What is the best app for Maintenance/Cleanup for my mac? Do I need Virus Protection?

    What is the best app for Maintenance/Cleanup for my Mac? Do I need Virus protection?

    How to maintain a Mac
    Make two or more backups of all your files
    One backup is not enough to be safe. A copy of a backup doesn't count as another backup; all backups must be made directly from the original data.
    Keep at least one backup off site at all times in case of disaster. Backing up to a cloud-data service is one way to accomplish this, but don't rely exclusively on such backups.
    In fact, don’t rely exclusively on any single backup method, such as Time Machine.
    If you get an indication that a backup has failed, don't ignore it.
    Keep your software up to date
    In the App Store or Software Update preference pane (depending on the OS version), you can configure automatic notifications of updates to OS X and other Mac App Store products. Some third-party applications from other sources have a similar feature, if you don’t mind letting them phone home. Otherwise you have to check yourself on a regular basis.
    Keeping up to date is especially important for complex software that modifies the operating system, such as device drivers. Don't install such modifications unless they're absolutely necessary. Remove them when they are no longer needed. Before installing any Apple update, you must check that all system modifications that you use are compatible. Incompatibility with third-party software is by far the most common cause of difficulties with system updates.
    Don't install crapware
    ...such as “themes,” "haxies," “add-ons,” “toolbars,” “enhancers," “optimizers,” “accelerators,” "boosters," “extenders,” “cleaners,” "doctors," "tune-ups," “defragmenters,” “firewalls,” "barriers," “guardians,” “defenders,” “protectors,” most “plugins,” commercial "virus scanners,” "disk tools," or "utilities." With very few exceptions, such stuff is useless or worse than useless. Above all, avoid any software that purports to change the look and feel of the user interface.
    It's not much of an exaggeration to say that the whole "utility" software industry for the Mac is a fraud on consumers. The most extreme examples are the "CleanMyMac," "TuneUpMyMac," and “MacKeeper” scams, but there are many others.
    As a rule, you should avoid software that changes the way other software works. Plugins for Photoshop and similar programs are an obvious exception to this rule. Safari extensions, and perhaps the equivalent for other web browsers, are a partial exception. Most are safe, and they're easy to get rid of if they don't work. Some may cause the browser to crash or otherwise malfunction. Some are malicious. Use with caution, and install only well-known extensions from relatively trustworthy sources, such as the Safari Extensions Gallery.
    Only install software that is useful to you, not (as you imagine) to the computer. For example, a word processor is useful for writing. A video editor is useful for making movies. A game is useful for fun. But a "cache cleaner" isn't useful for anything. You didn't buy a computer so you could clean caches.
    Never install any third-party software unless you know how to uninstall it. Otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve. Do not rely on "utilities" such as "AppCleaner" and the like that purport to remove software.
    Don't install bad, conflicting, or unnecessary fonts
    Whenever you install new fonts, use the validation feature of the built-in Font Book application to make sure the fonts aren't defective and don't conflict with each other or with others that you already have. See the built-in help and this support article for instructions.
    Deactivate or remove fonts that you don't really need to speed up application launching.
    Avoid malware
    "Malware" is malicious software that circulates on the Internet. This kind of attack on OS X was once so rare that it was hardly a concern, but it's now increasingly common and dangerous.
    There is some built-in protection against malware, but you can’t rely on it—the attackers are always at least one day ahead of the defense. You can’t rely on third-party "anti-virus" products for protection either. What you can rely on is common-sense awareness—not paranoia, which only makes you more vulnerable.
    Never install software from an untrustworthy or unknown source. If in doubt, do some research. Any website that prompts you to install a “codec” or “plugin” that comes from the same site, or an unknown site, is untrustworthy. Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must come directly from the developer's website. No intermediary is acceptable, and don’t trust links unless you know how to parse them. Any file that is automatically downloaded from the web, without your having requested it, should go straight into the Trash. A web page that tells you that your computer has a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with it, is a scam.
    In OS X 10.7.5 or later, downloaded applications and Installer packages that have not been digitally signed by a developer registered with Apple are blocked from loading by default. The block can be overridden, but think carefully before you do so.
    Because of recurring security issues in Java, it’s best to disable it in your web browsers, if it’s installed. Few websites have Java content nowadays, so you won’t be missing much. This action is mandatory if you’re running any version of OS X older than 10.6.8 with the latest Java update. Note: Java has nothing to do with JavaScript, despite the similar names. Don't install Java unless you're sure you need it. Most people don't.
    Don't fill up your disk or SSD
    A common mistake is adding more and more large files to your home folder until you start to get warnings that you're out of space, which may be followed in short order by a startup failure. This is more prone to happen on the newer Macs that come with an internal SSD instead of the traditional hard drive. The drive can be very nearly full before you become aware of the problem.
    While it's not true that you should or must keep any particular percentage of space free, you should monitor your storage use and make sure you're not in immediate danger of using it up. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of free space on the startup volume for normal operation.
    If storage space is running low, use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the most space. Move seldom-used large files to secondary storage.
    Relax, don’t do it
    Besides the above, no routine maintenance is necessary or beneficial for the vast majority of users; specifically not “cleaning caches,” “zapping the PRAM,” "resetting the SMC," “rebuilding the directory,” "defragmenting the drive," “running periodic scripts,” “dumping logs,” "deleting temp files," “scanning for viruses,” "purging memory," "checking for bad blocks," "testing the hardware," or “repairing permissions.” Such measures are either completely pointless or are useful only for solving problems, not for prevention.
    To use a Mac effectively, you have to free yourself from the Windows mindset that every computer needs regular downtime for maintenance such as "defragging" and "registry cleaning." Those concepts do not apply to the Mac platform.
    A well-designed computing device is not something you should have to think about much. It should be an almost transparent medium through which you communicate, work, and play. If you want a machine that needs a lot of attention just to keep going, use a PC, or collect antique cars.
    The very height of futility is running an expensive third-party application called “Disk Warrior” when nothing is wrong, or even when something is wrong and you have backups, which you must have. Disk Warrior is a data-salvage tool, not a maintenance tool, and you will never need it if your backups are adequate. Don’t waste money on it or anything like it.

  • Where did voice-to-text go in IOS 8.1 Message app?

    I've done a pretty extensive search and I can't find anyone asking about this - so it may just be me.
    I understand why the development team decided to make  the microphone send a voice clip in Messages instead of converting voice-to-text.  The problem is that now, when navigating a message thread, it's impossible to find the message you want without listening to all of them (and annoying people around you). Without the visible text, all the voice messages look the same.  
    Providing an option to change how the microphone works, giving the choice of restoring the pretty nice voice-to-text we had until last week, would seem smart.
    I'm sure this was done as an "improvement" to stop finger texting as a safety measure, but it comes with a lack of usability.  The Siri engine still does voice-to-text nicely but not in Messages.  Another approach fix would be to include the first 5-10 words of the message in text along with the sound clip.
    Am I alone out here with this woe?
    Chaz

    And, one last thing.  The default setting makes voice clips go away after two minutes so my rant about finding them in a thread is moot.  You CAN set the app to keep the voice clips but I don't know what the memory impact would be -- and you still can't tell what they say without listening.
    I'll go away quietly now....

    The issue with the A1400 is that like most economy compact cameras, they will not have very fast focus times in indoor lighting situations. Many people have gone to entry level DSLR's (Canon T3i) or micro 4/3 cameras. They are fairly expensive, but a late model refurbished T3i can sometimes be found with a kit lens for about $300.00. With Auto and scene modes, as well as full manual modes, these are very versatile cameras that focus very quickly, even in lower lighting situations. Canon is not really into the micro 4/3 cameras, instead they are focusing on the new G7x and G1x cameras, which are way out of your price range. The A720 is still available used at some places such as KEH camera, but you'll need to check often as their stock changes constantly. Obviously the DSLR's don't use AA batteries, but the T3i is good for about 600 photos (or more) per charge.
    My refurbished DSLR was practically brand new condition when I got it. I could not find any sign of wear at all, so I feel they are a real bargain. These are rugged cameras that are made to last. The A1400 is a $99.00 camera, so it's not intended for heavy usage, plus the image quality of a DSLR (even entry level) is far better than the A1400. That would be my recommendation.

    There is no separate app, necessary or possible. If your carrier offers a tethering plan, the iPhone will support it directly. See:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4517
    If your carrier does not offer such a plan, then no app can change that.
