Can my voice be converted to text?

I'm trying to read an essay instead of typing it. Can the Mac editor do that or do i need another app?
thanks

Welcome to Apple Support Communities

To activate Dictation, open System Preferences > Dictation & Speech > Dictation. Then, go to the application where you want to use Dictation and press the Fn key twice.
If you haven't got 10.8, you can upgrade to it or you can use a third-party app like Dragon Dictate for Mac > http://www.nuance.com/for-individuals/by-product/dragon-for-mac/dragon-dictate/i ndex.htm

  • Not receiving texts from iPhone contacts when I'm not connected to wifi or cell data. I can't send and receive regular SMS texts with non iMessage users but iMessage users message are not being converted to text when I don't have internet connect

    I can send and receive to any non iPhone user. I can send a message as a text to an iPhone user but if I'm not connected to cellular data or wifi I do not receive messages from iPhone contacts. From what I understand these message should automatically send to me as texts instead of iMessages but since the update it's not functioning properly. Please help. I've tried turning iMessage off and I still don't receive the messages until after I reconnect to wifi.

    I have the same problem! Before the upgrade, if I wasn't connected to the internet, any messages sent to me from an iphone would convert automatically to a text message. I have payg tarriff, so I turn cell data off, as it costs too much to use it. I have wifi at home and work, but if I'm out and about, I don't receive texts from iphone users until I'm on wifi. I get them ok from non iphone users. There was never any problem until ios7

  • Can you convert your text messages to your computer?

    Can you convert your text messages from your phone to your computer?

    Text messages are included with your iPhone's backup, which is updated by iTunes as the first step during the iTunes sync process. There are utilities such as this one that provide for extracting this and other data from your iPhone's backup for access on your computer for reading, printing, archiving, etc.

  • SSRS report - A single selection dropdown list converted to text box

    Hello everyone,
    We created a single selection dropdown parameter (City parameter) on a report. The data in this parameter is populated using MDX query. Also, it is filtered based on selection of another single selection dropdown list (Country parameter) of a report.
    The problem is when there is no cities for the selected country the dropdown list is gets converted to free type text box and user can insert city data in it. Why SSRS is not keeping it as empty dropdown list with no data?
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Hello Charlie,
    We developed a fresh report only with two parameters but still the dropdown control gets converted to text box in our case. We have two single selection parameters, Location and Customers. Based on selected Location the customer
    dropdown gets populated.
    Location Parameter Query
    WITH MEMBER [Measures].[ParameterCaption] AS [Location].[Location Name].CURRENTMEMBER.MEMBER_CAPTION MEMBER [Measures].[ParameterValue] AS [Location].[Location Name].CURRENTMEMBER.UNIQUENAME MEMBER
    [Measures].[ParameterLevel] AS [Location].[Location Name].CURRENTMEMBER.LEVEL.ORDINAL
    SELECT {[Measures].[ParameterCaption], [Measures].[ParameterValue], [Measures].[ParameterLevel]} ON COLUMNS , [Location].[Location Name].ALLMEMBERS ON ROWS FROM [Model]
    Customer Query
    WITH MEMBER [Measures].[ParameterCaption] AS
    [Customer].[Customer Name].CURRENTMEMBER.MEMBER_CAPTION
    MEMBER [Measures].[ParameterValue] AS
    [Customer].[Customer Name].CURRENTMEMBER.UNIQUENAME
    MEMBER [Measures].[ParameterLevel] AS [Customer].[Customer Name].CURRENTMEMBER.LEVEL.ORDINAL
    SELECT {[Measures].[ParameterCaption], [Measures].[ParameterValue], [Measures].[ParameterLevel],[Measures].[Amt]} ON COLUMNS,
    nonempty([Customer].[Customer Name].ALLMEMBERS,[Measures].[Amt]) ON ROWS FROM ( SELECT ( STRTOSET(@LocationName, CONSTRAINED) ) ON COLUMNS FROM [Model])
    Regarding parameter settings on General tab for both the above parameters we did not select any of the following values, all these checkboxes are empty:
    Allow Blank Value ("") , Allow null value, Allow multiple values.
    I think it has something related to [Measures].[Amt] that we used in customer parameter. We are now trying to take other two parameters where we would be not using the [Measures].[Amt] to filter the data. Will update you soon.

  • About converting a text member to a list

    Hi there everyone!
    I'm trying to convert a prepared text member to a property
    list.
    the text cast member:
    [#boxes:[#b0: [#rect: rect(61, 392, 695,
    465)],#b1:[#rect:rect(501,358,688,460)],#b3:[#rect:rect(99,415,199,493)]],#points:[#p0:[# loc:point(677,428)],#p1:[#loc:point(92,397)]]
    the code I tried:
    a = member("walkable").text
    dWalkable = value(a)
    put dWalkable
    but the result is always : <VOID>
    how can I convert the text cast member to a property list?

    The reason you are getting void is because after converting
    it from a
    string, what you have left is not a properly formatted list.
    I think
    you just need to add a closing square bracket at the end and
    then it
    should work.

  • Can´t add texteffects to editorable text

    Hi, did i do something wrong or is it a bug? I can´t add effects to text, but to textframes.

    Visual effects are not well supported by browsers without converting the text to an image, which will make the site slower to load in the browser and causes pixelation when the browser is zoomed. However, there is a trick you can use to force Muse to apply effects to the text and have it convert to an image when published.
    Muse does not want to make it easy to convert text to an image because of the performance and quality issues mentioned. However, if the text already has to be rasterized, it will happily allow you to apply effects. There are two ways to cause text to rasterize:
    1. Rotate the frame and give it a None fill; or
    2. Use a System font and give it a None fill.

  • How to convert the text field into currency field

    Hi,
    I have an requirement to converting the text field into currency.
    If I convert directly it gives dump.
    If I convert this to Numeric means it takes the decimals also as whole value.
    Is there any FM to convert the text field into Currency field.
    Please advice me.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    I am on an SRM sytem, which unfortunately does not have th FM: PSSV_TEXT_INTO_FIELD_CURRENCY.
    But I also need to transfer a string value like '12,99' to a field with type curr.
    Can i Do that manually, or is there another FM?
    I have already checked code with write to or pack/unpack.
    But without success yet.
    Something like this:
    DATA: g_str(11) type c.
    DATA: g_p type p.
    WRITE '12,99' TO g_str CURRENCY 'EUR'.
    is no use for me. Finally I need to move g_str to my curr-field, which causes st22.
    also: PACK g_str to <curr-field or g_p> dumps.
    Help appreciated.

  • Does Illustrator do a good job of converting PDF text to text entities in DWG?

    My company receives a lot of drawings in PDF format. They look great, but when we're asked to modify these drawings, they have to be redrawn in CAD. This is very time-consuming and costly. I would like to use Illustrator to convert these PDFs to DWG format. I've found products that will convert the linework and other content of the drawing; however, none that I've found can convert the text in the PDF to text entities in the DWG.
    I would install the free trial version if Adobe Illustrator, but I can't. My company is currently using Windows XP operating system. Illustrator requires Windows 7 or 8.

    I don't think you'd be happy with any conversion of text between Illustrator and DWG. Text handling differs greatly in the respective editing environments. I may have missed something, but I've never seen usable text going in either direction, either to or from DWG.

  • How can i change the sequence of text element in standard driver program ?

    Hi,
    can u tell me how can i change the sequence of text element in standard  sapscript driver program.. without making a zcopy of standard driver program.
    My problem is when MEDRUCK form is getting printed for PO print , header text is coming before item. But the requirement is to come it after item.So how cani do that without making the zcopy of  SAPLMEDRUCK program..Is there any enhancement point in SAPLMEDRUCK driver program..where i can put my customise code for changing the sequence of text element ?

    Hi,
        Just copy the MEDRUCK to ZMEDRUCK. No need to copy the driver program.
    1) SE71Menu > Utilities > COpy from Client
    MEDRUCK ->>Client 000
    New formname ZMEDRUCK
    2) Now open the ZMEDRUCK in DE language in SE71
    3) Menu > Utilities > Convert original Language
    Change DE  to EN, save and activate
    4) Now open the ZMEDRUCK in EN language
    5) Goto Pagewindows > Main window,
    Look for the HEADER text Text element, copy the whole code under this Text element just after the ITEM text Text element, and comment the HEADER text above.
    Now the Header text Text element will be below ITEM text only. This will full fill your requirment.
    Now goto NACE transaction and add the copied ZMEDRUCK to the EF application.
    Regards

  • Can't download multimedia embedded in text messages

    Hi,
      I have a problem where I can't load multimedia embedded in text messages when I'm at home.  I'll get the text message, say with message size 30kb.  The download button will sit there even though I've set it up to download automatically.  I push the button, the blue circle spins for a while and quits.  I try over and over, no luck.  Then there will be an error message that says message expired or not available.
      I can't confirm it only happens at home but it seems to be that way.  I do have a Verizon network extender at home.   Google says that these messages only come if WIFI is off and uses regular data.  Maybe my 3g data is altered somehow by the fact that my 3g signal is 'boosted' by my 'home extender' icon that I see when I'm home.  I can't get 4g at home (Verizon tells me just walk 300 feet down the road where they have great signal, yeah, right!!)
    It is crazy to have to turn wifi off to get text messages at home and I can't believe that Multimedia messages would be blocked for the people who have network extenders.
      This is the stock messaging program (icon with tan background and white conversation icon in middle with 3 horizontal lines in the white callout diagram).
    Ideas?

    Network extenders used to be a great idea but most phones now try to lock to the 4G signal and use the extender for voice only.  It is definitely a possibility that the ext is contributing to the issue.  The G2 and G3, even with mobile data off, still use data to download MMS.  I know my G2 will download an MMS with mobile data turned off because the data is still actually enabled.  Hard to explain, but data is always on unless in airplane mode.  This allows MMS but doesnt allow other forms of data.
