Best apps/hardware to use are for dictation transcription?

Hi.
I've started transcribing dictated memos on my mac for my boss. He doesn't want to use Dragon (or similar) at the moment and would rather I typed the memos out.
He records them on his iphone using Dictamus and sends the sound file to me on my Macbook (white 2008).
I was just wondering, what is the best software to use on my Mac to easily play, pause, slow down, jog back the audio while typing? (The less I have to use the pointer the better)
Also, is there macbook compatible hardware I can get to make it easier?
I was also wondering is there a good app and accessories for this on the iPad?
Many thanks,
Sian

Hi Sian,
we recommend Express Scribe by NCH Software for transcription. It's free, multiplatform and supports USB foot pedals, but you can also use it with keyboard shortcuts. We're not aware of specialized transcription apps for iPad.

My problem started after installing "smartsync app" which is supposed to sync my phone with the profilepage photos of my friends in facebook. All my apps crashed after using them for awhile.While using my apps, they will black out after a little while and the phone returns to the starting page. I have removed the smartsync app but my phone still behaves the same way. At the same time the dates that accompany my messages changed to another language. How can these be rectified?

Eek. Sounds like something in the app caused some serious software issues. You can try a hard reset, but I'd imagine you're probably going to have to do an iTunes restore to get it running right again.

Looking for an example from app gallery that uses WAAD for identity

I'm looking for an example from the app gallery (http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/gallery/active-directory/) that uses WAAD for identity. I need one the show our business what the process would look like for an organization signing up for a SaaS offering
via the App Gallery. I know all the Microsoft applications use WAAD but I was hoping to find a third-party example. What I mean is an app where all tenant and user identity is done using WAAD as opposed to federated identity.

I doubt that what you are looking for exists yet.

I am looking for recommendations for the best app for my IPhone 5. An app that allows you to take your own picture without having to hold the phone. Something with a timer?

Using Siri for Dictation?

Not having grown up with learning to type, I first experimented with Dragon Dictate - at considerable expense and frustration. The annoyed when Dragion became obsolete with OS X and Dragon gave no credit for an upgrade. Siri appears to b quite effective but lacking in its ability to create long documents.,with posting to Pages or Word Has anyone successfully learned to create full size documents and in what formats?

Have you tried the OS own dictation?

What is the best app for managing your contacts on Iphone5s (ios7)I

What is the best app for managing your contacts on Iphone5s (ios7)

I have the same question, but I want to qualify it with a few things. First, Contacts works great, but I want to keep my business contacts and my personal contacts separate. I know you can separate them in Contacts, however, as an executive assistant I also have my bosses contacts and frankly they are a mess.
I am looking for a separate app that I use just for work. I need to link 5 accounts to this app. 2 will be from Exchange and 3 will be from Gmail. As a bonus I would be thrilled if the app could merge profiles and link to facebook, twitter, and linkedin. Any advice?

What is the best app for filling in forms on iPad for business users

Hi all, Ive been researching this for my own organisation for a few months are trialled a lot of different approaches. We run many remote engineers and have an issue getting job sheets back on which we invoice clients. If they dont make it back we lose money and sadly many dont make it back!
Our requirements went a little like this:
1. We didn't want to "rebuild" our forms again in some software. We have them already in word and excel formats.
2. We wanted the option of letting my users input to the form using EITHER normal handwriting or keyboard.
3. We needed no complexity in terms of installing software and on that note needed an easy in/out type of contract.
4. We wanted to capture GPS and some photos with the form and send them all together. (currently we take photos with the phone and they email them back but tying them up to forms is a nightmare)
5. We needed to have data extraction so we could report on key data.
6. We have a resource light IT dept so we needed something quick and easy to use - VERY easy.
7. We wanted no surprises with costs etc.
I looked at 8 that claimed the same - "set up forms quickly, grab data etc".    Some were cheap apps where everything is done on the iPad but they just didnt work for what we need. We needed some control at the IT dept level for version control etc. Some were also VERY complex and needed a degree to use them! We dont have an in house form design team, we just have forms we knocked up in Word.    We quickly found we needed a full service and an app on the device that synched with the service. This left us to "manage" the forms and give the users access to a library.
This narrowed it down to 3 solutions but two didnt do the handwriting part so in the end we chose a SaaS service from www.naturalformscloud.com. Ive just completed the free 30 day free trial with FULL features (unlike others i tried) and about to sign up but thought id reach out first.     Theres NO hidden extras like storage, or price per submission which enables me to forecast budget accurately. For €15 per user per month I can create as many forms and send as much as i want.   Heres the rub - i have my forms already in word and excel format. All I do is save them as a PDF and upload them to the system. If i want handwriting recognition i set the fields up that i want and publish it to tablets in literally a few minutes. When users tap in to a field on the form they are given either a keyboard or a handwriting panel. if they write in the panel with their finger or stylus they see the written word but in the field it converts VERY accurately to the data word. In this way they kind of validate the data when entering it but they know how to write so form filling is actually faster than keyboard for some.    We get signatures, photos, GPS, voice recordings, XML, PDF and CSV outputs within seconds of the form being sent by the user.
Theres an app to install on the tablet called naturalforms enterprise but sync is quick and easy. the tablet app has some good features too. All in all im VERY happy with what we are about to subscribe to based on our criteria and the need for speed! Interested to hear from anyone else on this ? www.naturalformscloud.com theres a youtube video on the web site which is quite funky.
cheers
Mike

What is the best App for filing, viewing, editing excel?

I need help choosing the best app to work with excel for the ipad. I have mariner calc and am unhappy with it. It drops out quite a bit of formatting and you cannot file in folders. What is the best option?
Thanks!

To Edit excel files the best app right now is currently Numbers, Numbers is severely limited in file organization and sharing right now. If all you need to do is look at excel files you have a couple options.
Option 1 (Requires Connectivity):
Place the file on the web and view it in safari
Option 2 (Offline use):
Use Goodreader to download and save your files, you can create folder Heiarchies and copy files from your computer using a sync cable from itunes, via email, or even through wifi.
If you can find something that combines the two options please let me know as I have been looking for solutions to this problem too. I wish apple had a shared folder space where apps could save files to be used in multiple programs much like they do with the photo albums

The best app for deleting duplicate photos in iPhoto 9

Hi, I have stumbled upon many duplicates /triplicate photos in my iphoto library. I was wondering what is the best app/program to use to eliminate the photos to free up space on my macbook.
I have seen a few posts suggesting apps but many had just as many cons for the pros....I have no problem paying for an app but do have a problem if I can not be reimbursed in the event the app doeesnt work.....
I do have all my pictures saved to the main "photos" section of the library as well as in seperate folders in "events"
To clarify, it is while looking at the main photo library is where im finding the duplicate and triplicate photos.
Macbook pro
OSX 10.7.5
iPhoto 9 8.1.2
Thanks in advance, Dawn

That sounds like an issue with iPhoto. To make sure it's not the applicaiton create a new test library, import a number photos and import half of them again. Then try the iPhoto Dupoicate Cleaner again.
The only aspect of the app that I don't like is that it doesn't let you mark the files as duplicates instead of moving them to the Trash. iPhoto LIbrary Manages has several options:
But Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto found all of my duplicates in my test library. Just be careful to not empty the iPhoto Trash bin until you've previewed the selection.

What app do I use to listen to iTunes purchase audiobooks?

I havd purchase audiobooks from iTunes, there is not an icon for audiobooks in music anymore. I have tried to load them to my audible app, but it keeps telling me to sync through iTunes and I have but they don't show up there either. Does Apple have an app they they use specifically for audiobooks?

iTunes purchased audio books shold be available in the Music app. If you do not see a menu item for them, tap the More button and select the appropriate category.
In some isntances, there are restrictions of using audio books on multiple devices, I seem to recall.
