Dictation Feature On iPad 3

Can I dictate on the iPad 3 using another language? If I am able to, where do I change the setting to be able to do so OR is there an app that will let me accomplish this? Thank you. ~Pelusita

Our experience is that this feature does not always work.
Dictation requires a Wi-Fi connection. Make sure that your iPad is connected to the Internet because you are sending your data to Apple servers.
Dictation is available in the following languages:
English (Australia)
English (United Kingdom)
English (United States)
French
German
Japanese (Japan)
If dictation does not work, make sure that the keyboard is set for the language you are using (Settings > General > Keyboard).

Hi again, Demo! Gosh, I was hoping the list included Spanish. Do you know if there is a plan in the making for Spanish? It kinda surprises me, since Spanish is the most prolific language, at least here in the US.

Dictation Feature when iPad is connected to a keyboard?

I've got the Apple keyboard/docking station for my iPad3. Is there a function to be able to dictate when its still connected to the keyboard?

This issue manifests as The volume control shows sound effects on screen or phantom docking no volume slide control.
For the beginners, the issue is often the side switch is set to mute on off and not screen rotation lock. The switch is off. (see settings)
Other issues around software and airport use can be resolved by hard reset, or reset options inside the settings. I use AIRPORT all the time.
You may have even tried the re-installing the firmware/ios
So when all has failed to work, the you may have dock connector PIN 21 problem.
I had an issue that started with the ipad whe it was on USB cable to PC.
No drop, no sudden cable movements. Just gone....
No volume slider. IPAD behaves as if it was docked when not.
Slight movement when usb cable is in occasionally brings the volume control back but only for a few seconds then it disappears.
Mine is going back for repair/replacement.
cheers Phil

HT5364 How to optimize the dictation feature using an external device. For example using the audio from iPod to dictate into word.

Dictation feature not writing exact phrases or sentences to the word document. I tried using my iPad, however the text written is 90% incorrect. What can I do to improve that experince. I do a lot of transcriptions and this would greatly assist me.

iPad runs an entirely different opreating system. How it handles dictation doesn't affect how your MacBook Pro handles it. To solve at least the iPad, post here:
https://discussions.apple.com/community/ipad/using_ipad
Is your dictation problem with Mac OS X 10.9.2 on your MacBook Pro as well? If it is, I'll request this thread be moved to the 10.9 forum where more people have experience with 10.9.

When I dictate on my iPad and press done the dictation is erased, how can I resolve this issue

When I dictate on my iPad and press done my dictation is erased, how can I resolve this issue?

Another way besides tapping the text box is to tap the screen to bring the keyboard up, tap the .?123 key, then tap the undo key to bring the erased dictation back.

Dictation issues on iPad

I just recently have been trying to use dictation on my iPad for the past two weeks.
It's been working fine up until recently.
Everything was working every single type of function from capitalization two parentheses in quotations.
Now however capitalization functions do not seem to work they just seem to spell out and do not correct what I want capitalized.
This entire question I'm using with dictation and as you can tell caps on it isn't working.
I've tried all the tips between pausing in between each command and fluently speaking the command with the statement.
However all it does is spell out the capitalization command all caps on and it's starting to actually really confuse me all caps off.
I've even tried resetting dictation twice already and still have not found the answer to my problem.
Any and all help will be greatly appreciated thank you in advance.

Read this thread, as it does not appear to be isolated to you. Since dictation is via Apple Servers, this is likely and Apple Server issue and it would appear there is nothing you can do directly on iPad.

HT5248 How do you start the dictate feature?

After the update iWork still looks the same and search Help did not bring anything up. So how to you start the dictate feature to have your speech to text?

Once you upgrade to ML, you go to System Preferences and enable it. Then you select your shortcut for turning it on and off. The default is a double-tap on the fn key.

No, not at this time.

Feature request: iPad photo filename retention

Hello all,
I'm looking to request a feature for iPad photos, but don't know where to post them.
What I'd like is for the iPad2 to be able to retain the original filename assigned to the
photo by my camera. This would be extremely handy as a photographer, when showing
photos to clients. They pick the images they want based on filenames.
Right now any app I've tried reassigns a new file name to each photo, which becomes
a huge PITA when trying to find them on my iMac afterwards.
Thanks for your time!

There's is a 3rd-party app called Photo Shack Pro that will show and allow you to modify filenames. It sorts by filename too if you want. The problem is that iTunes doesn't actually transfer the filename as it appears on your computer when you sync to your iPad. Instead, the iPad iOS assigns its own surrogate filename to the photo, which has no correlation to the host filename.
To get around this issue, you need to use a photo metadata utility like EXIFTool to insert your photos' filenames into your photos' metadata. Then Photo Shack Pro can be told to use this as the photos' filenames.
Works pretty good. I am able to transfer all of my Photos Library photos and their albums into Photo Shack Pro, along with their original filenames. Organize, title, comment, star rate, etc. them how I want. Then transfer them back to my PC using iTunes File Sharing. All my changes are permanently stored in the photos' metadata.

Best security features for iPad mini at high risk for theft?

I'm giving my disabled sister (mental disability) a new iPad mini for Christmas. I bought her the $300 WiFi-only model. She lives in a group home 800 miles away. She doesn't own a computer or have easy access to a computer (she uses the computer at her local public library). She usually goes to restaurants and malls to get a free WiFi signal. She's also an easy target for thieves because her disability is clearly visible. Regardless, I want to giver her this device. She's fairly responsible - she never lost the iPod Touch I gave her years ago.
How should I set up her new iPad mini, before mailing it to her, to give her the best possible protection against loss/theft? I am aware of iCloud and FindMyiPhone, which I use often. Should I add my sister's new iPad mini to my existing iCloud account, even though we live far apart? She could then call me whenever she loses it, and I can find it for her by using the FindMyiPhone app. However, I'm worried about sharing an iCloud account with her -- that she may possibly download music/purchases to her iPad mini by accident, that will be charged to my iTunes account.
Are there other apps that I can install on her iPad mini, or unknown features that I can turn on, that will help me or her find her lost/stolen device? Remember, she will most likely need my assistance, from 800 miles away, to recover it.
I will also consider buying insurance for her if prices are reasonable and coverage includes loss/theft.
Thanks for any help!

If you use your iCloud account, then she will also share your email, contacts and so forth. So that both of you can have privacy, why not make her a new AppleID, create a new iCloud account for her, but you keep the password so you can login to her iCloud to track her device or remote wipe it and so forth, if ever needed.
She could then use that same AppleID for her own iTunes or App store purchases, and you could even use the allowance feature to control the spending on it, so she cannot get into trouble by mistakingly over-spending (of course she will need the password for that, but she is not likely to change it I imagine, so you would still be able to use it as well). If you feel it necessary, you can also enable restrictions with a passcode only you know, and disable in-app purchases or set up other restrictions like that if you worry she may unknowingly work up a tab in purchases without realizing they were for fee items.
Another thing you may want to set up is two-step verification of her AppleID, with your own iPhone or iPad as (at least one of) the trusted devices. The advantage is two-step removes the security question feature for an AppleID, and gives you a verification code that will ensure you can always recover her AppleID no matter what.
You should also put a passcode on it, and set the passcode lock to come on immediately (that is, it becomes effective the moment the screen sleeps or is put to sleep manually with no time out or delay). Your choice whether to also set the device to auto-wipe content after several failed passcode attempts.
Other than that, I think that is about as secure as can be for any iOS device. If she does not mind, she could even use a complex passcode instead of the simple 4-digit one - maybe something derived from a phrase she can easily remember ("Thanks for the iPad!" = T4tiP! or something like that).
Just a P.S. while Apple's own AppleCare+ does cover accidental damage, beware that it does not cover loss or theft. So if you do want insurance, you will need to buy it from a 3rd party vendor.

Acrobat pro features for Ipad?

Is there an Ipad app with the same features as Acrobat pro? I want to be able to create a pdf document out of several photos, and to crop each page (photo).

In the latest version of Adobe Reader for iOS, if you subscribe to the PDF Pack service, you can convert images to PDF directly within the app. But, you won't be able to crop them...

Suggestion_New Feature of iPad

Hi,
As one of Apple holic, I'd like to suggest a new idea for iPad.
Maybe someone could imagine once but it'll be great and useful if iPad has got a new feature, external monitor. Apparently, it doesn't look very difficult to add it... or not. Just plug in USB cable and simply execute external monitor mode via pushing a button on iTunes.. something like this way.
I think it'll be good combination with MACBOOK or MACBOOK AIR.
Actually, I've got no iPad yet because of it's not been released in S.Korea and I'm surely dying to wait for it.
STEVE, I BELIEVE YOUR IMMENSE FORCE!

HT3529 How can I get dictation for my iPad for use with email and messaging

How can I get dictation to use with messaging and email?

Apple's dictation requires Siri, which requires a 3rd or 4th generation iPad (or iPad Mini). See:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5457
Your post says you have a second generation iPad, so it will not have dictation.
There are third party apps available that might help you.

Why can't I use the continuity feature on ipad 2?

I personally think continuity feature should be available to each and everyone of apple products that are iOS 8.1 compatible.

http://www.apple.com/feedback/
Tell Apple. However given that there were parts of iOS7 that the iPad 2 couldn't get, I don't find it surprising that it doesn't get all of iOS8.

Can you get dictation on an ipad 2?

I really want to know as it would be greatfor my daughters homework

Built-in dictation no, that is only on the new iPad. You could have a look at third-party dictation apps in the iTunes app store e.g. Dragon Dictation (I haven't got the app but I've seen it mentioned by other people)
