Digital Transcription on a Mac?

Help! I am trying to do transcription from home and am not finding programs for macs. I have always used a separate tape machine and gotten the dictation on tapes, but I want to start doing digital transcription on my iMac. There don't seem to be any programs available. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Hey Nancy and welcome to Apple discussions,

I know nothing about these programs but the first two are free.
Actually when I worked at a National Lab in the '90s we were working on voice recognition software. Don't know where that went to except the cars that turn the radio on or dial your phone for you.

I already have adobe digital editions on my mac pc and download books from the library to my android e-reader. Can I use the same digital editions on my ipad air, or do I need to load a different one onto my ipad?

How do I uninstall Adobe Digital Editions 3 (for Mac)???

Dear kind, knowledgable Adobe Staff member-
As a user of SEVERAL Adobe products, I am really NOT loving the fact that there is NO CLEAR answer that I can find here (OR even in doing a Google search) for how to completely REMOVE/UNINSTALL Adobe Digital Editions 3 (for Mac)...and there are a couple/few UNanswered Adobe Communities posts (such as this one) asking this SAME question!
If you're going to create an installer for the MacOS platform (which does NOT have the built-in Winblows uninstall "feature"), then PLEASE DO either include a uninstaller tool (either installed during the install process, built into the installer as an option, OR have clear, official, and easily accessible step-by-step instructions on how to do this!
You've lost ANY shot of my returning to ADE software by not having these features...please do help me re-instill some "faith" in your company's responsiveness to the current LACK of support that I am experiencing in attempting to remove this unwanted software from my computer!
Cordially,
Albe Sure

I DO very much appreciate the swift effort at attempting to help...but that is NOT a working resolution for me.
1) As I was very clear on in my OP and title, I am seeking assistance with uninstalling Adobe Digital Editions 3 (for Mac)...
2) BECAUSE Adobe is distributing this software as an "installer", I am not even going to begin to trust simply deleting the Adobe Digital Editions 3 app from my applications folder...no way! I want to thoroughly remove ALL TRACES of this application (EVERYTHING that was installed by the installer, or later by the application itself, onto my computer. Simply deleting the app fro my my applications folder will NOT be sufficient to achieve this goal.
3) As the name would suggest (and the step-by-step instructions would collaborate, the CC Cleaner Tool is only for Creative Cloud installation and removal problems (and to the very best of my knowledge, Adobe Digital Editions is certainly NOT a CC program.)
"A" for effort, but not so much on providing a relevant/working Adobe Digital Editions 3 (for Mac OS) uninstall/removal suggestion(s)...STILL looking for a working solution!

I would like to convert my LPs to digital on my new mac book pro with retinal display . How can i do this?

The new Mac's do not have analog audio in so you will have to go with a USB audio in device or else if you do not yet own a turntable (or are looking to upgrade) you could get a turntable that has USB out.
The Griffin Technology iMic USB Audio Device is a low cost consumer grade solution if you already have a turntable.
For recording I use Audacity: Free Audio Editor and Recorder which does a good job and has the ability to run the audio signal through various filters.

How do I figure out if I have usb 3.0? I am trying to buy compatible external hard drive (western digital my passport for mac) and I can not figure out if it will work with my mac book.

Dont buy a Western Digital, get a Hitachi or Seagate (Toshiba is made by Hitachi). These are the most reliable, and the HD used inside Macs.
ALL HD can be made compatible with your MAC (including a WD if you already bought same), ......they just need to be formatted for the Mac platform, format them in Disk Utility as Mac OSX extended journaled.

Aparture 3 – Can you link a CD-copy with digital copy available on Mac App Store?

Is it possible to link my CD-copy of Aparture 3, which I have on my Mac, with the digital copy that the Mac App Store offers?

No, unfortuntely it wouldn't be possible for you to do that. iTunes wouldn't allow that because you didn't purchase it from iTunes.

Transfering from analog Hi8 film to digital format on a Mac ...

Hi,
I have Hi8 films that I want to transfer to digital format on my Mac. What is the best way to get the best digital result ? I was thinking of:
1. using a Hi8 camera with a firewire outpout
2. using a Hi8 camera with a ADVCmini Grass Valley converter
3. any suggestion ???
Regards.
Robert

What is the best way to get the best digital result ?
"Best" is really a matter of personal preference and a comparison of the specific devices involved. I have an old Sony TRV520 which tends to play old Hi-8/DV tapes better than an optional standalone player I sometimes borrow from a friend for use with my ADVC300 converter whose settings/features allow a better black-point conversion and improved brightness/color saturation, etc. Which I use often depends on the condition of the tape and the content. If you already own one of the Hi-8/DV crossover or passthrough camcorder models and it works satisfactorily, I would stick with it unless I had an alternatively higher quality player and planned on purchasing a high-quality standalone converter. On the other hand, I would not likely invest in the purchase of an older camcorder if I already had a standalone player and only needed to add an A-D converter.

I doubt the license is affecting the performance - it might be a case of the software being too old for the machine.
In any case, you can contact Adobe support thru chat and have them reset your activation count to eliminatre your doubts regarding the license.

AES Digital Audio into a Mac

I need to input SDI digital video and AES digital audio into a Dual G5 Mac. I see that BlackMagic will do the digital video part for in and out but it seems to only output digital audio. How can I get AES digital audio into the Mac. Any suggestions would be great.
Thanks

Thanks this is what I was looking for. It looks like I can bring in SDI digital video through the BlackMagic card and AES/EBU digital audio with the Hosa box connected to the digital audio input on the back of the G5.
Thanks

How can I get my music from a digital book onto my MAC?

I purchased an album from iTunes using my iPad and now that I want to add it to my daughter's Nook from Mac its not giving me the music to download only the Digital book. How can I get my music and add to my library?

It sounds to me like the option to "copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library" was turned off in the iTunes -> Advanced preferences when you added the tracks from the flash drive, so iTunes left them on the flash drive rather than copying them to your computer's hard drive. Get Info on any of the tracks and see where iTunes thinks they should be located. If they're pointing to the flash drive, check that preference.
If that is indeed the problem, you'll need to fix the location. You can do this track by track if there aren't too many, but if there are a number of them, it'll be easiest to remove them from the iTunes library, fix the above-mentioned preference, and add the tracks again. Or you can just keep the flash drive connected to your computer, but that's probably not ideal.
Regards.

Unable to open .ACSM file in Digital Editions on intel Mac OS X

I am on an intel based Mac running OS X and have recently purchased an eBook for Digital Editions. I had previously purchased a Digital Editions format eBook and had no problems with it, and am currently able to view it in Digital Editions. I have downloaded the .ACSM file for my new eBook, however, when I attempt to assign the file to open with Digital Editions, the Digital Editions program window opens, but no activity concerning my new eBook occurs, and all that is listed is my previously purchased eBook. I have also attempted dragging the .ACSM file directly to the Digital Editions program window, as I have heard that this works on occasion, but still nothing. I have only ever installed DE version 1.7.1 and have no previous editions that would need to be uninstalled. Any ideas?

How to remove the default Digital ID in my mac Adobe Acrobat Pro 8.3.1?

Dear All,
I have my mac Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.3.1, I never used it to sign a document, and last week, after I opened up a document created from my lab's PC computer with Window 9 version of Acrobat Pro, the Digital ID with someone's name somehow has been encrypted in my Mac. The reason I said that the name has been encrupted in my Mac is because no matter how I do with the form, including getting a new form to start with, or removing the signature filed or getting the form with another PC to work with my Mac acrobat, when I go to the Sign form, the particular name and ID, which requires a password, has always been there. I called the Adobe to help, was told that since this is verison 8.3.1, I was advised to come here. Please help me with. Thank you.

Thanks George for the help, I managed to create my own ID using your
approach, Advanced > Security Settings > Digital IDs > add ID, but when I
signed it with the PDF of my signature, it is showed as my name in Typing
such as "XXX YY", instead of the handwritten form. I managed to use the
same PDF of my signature (signed and converted to PDF) last week when I
used the Pro 9, how can I attach my signature the same way in handwritten
form instead of being convered to "XXX YY" and appears "digitally signed"
Thanks again.

Connecting Digital Night Vision to Mac

Hello
I wasted money on an RCA to USB converter to connect my Yukon Ranger Digital Night Vision Monocular to my Mac to record video of what it captures.
Is there any WORKING way I can do this?
The Night Vision has an RCA female output ( works on my LCD TV ) so I need a converter that can allow me to input this in my new Quad Core iMac, any way possible.
anything available??
thanks
Anthony

Yes, Macs will support MiniDV format. The Canon Optura 400 is a MiniDV format camera. Have a look at the iMovie HD support page, as this will answer many of your questions about digital camcorder support.
