Dragon Dictate w. Aperture?

Anyone using Dragon Dictate with Aperture?
I have several tens of thousands of images to keyword, and nothing I've tried (carefully built keyword hierarchy, custom key assignments, custom button assignments on a 17-button mouse (Naga Razer)) has gotten me close to a keyword-assignment rate high enough. Assigning keywords by voice might do it -- but does it work?
Thanks. And *'Appy New Years* (you heard it here first )

Thanks ... I think ...

There, I think I covered all the bases there - condescension, trivialising, assuming you can't figure this out yourself. Now I can have a happy new year....
BTW - if you do figure out using Dictate in Aperture, let me know. I've been considering it myself with version 2 having come out!
Sadly (or perhaps not), the Internet remains a speech environment where nuance is difficult and often mis-taken. Are the qualities listed above meant to inform me of my posting "voice"?
If so, please elaborate -- I try to be helpful.
If not, forgive me for mis-interpreting -- and have a heavenly '11.

My MacBook Pro has an aerphone jack but nothing for microphone. I am trying to use Dragon Dictate and a friend gave me a USB attachment to connect to the mic and headphone. It is in a transparent plastic case charcoal gray in color and says 3D sound on th

I have Dragon Dictate but did not notice until now that the earphone jack is only for listening so I cannot dictate using headphones and the mic on the computer is not good enough for that. A friend gave me a USB card that says 3D Sound on top; it is a plastic case, charcoal gray in color and side jacks to connect headphone and mic. Connected to computer but it does not do a thing. Any ideas on how to make it work?

You are not supposed to connect a pair of speakers(as in left and right in a stereo pair)to two separate out jacks on the sound card.the place on the card where headphones/speakers with the mini jack goes is the right place.

I bought dragon dictate with my mac pro. NO DVD DRIVE.. now what do i do?

Can I return it and just get the dragon express in apps? My mom got this Mac book for school and I am paralyzed. I need a talk to text app. She bought the Dragon and we did not know the mac did not have a dvd drive (this is my first mac) PLEASE HELP. CAn we return the dragon dictate?

You have a couple options.
Depending on where and when you purchased the Dragon software, they will possibly, even likely, allow you to return the software if it is unopened. If you've already opened the packaging, it will obviously be more difficult to return. In that case, you might try reaching out to the folks at Dragon and explaining the situation. If they use license/activation numbers, it should be pretty easy for you to prove to them you haven't activated the software, and they might swap it or offer a refund.
Another option is to use an external DVD drive to install the software. You could purchase such a device (newegg.com, amazon.com, apple.com). Or, a better option would be to visit an Apple store, and ask them to install the software for you. That won't cost you a dime.
Don't fret! There are plenty of good solutions available to you. Good luck!

After recording text using the dragon dictation app, it is converted, it can be copied to the iOS system clipboard for use in any app, how does the user access the clipboard to retrive this information if it is no longer on the screen?

You need to do a long-press in any data entry field, then select Paste.

Using Dragon Dictate with Pocketcloud

We use Pocketcloud to access our terminal server. Specifically our attorneys do a lot of work inside the connection in Outlook and our Case Management software. We are trying to use Dragon Dictate to Dictate notes and emails and copy and paste to the applications within Pocketcloud. We cannot get anything to paste into apps within Pocketcloud. Does anyone have any experience with this? Thanks.

Thanks for your response. I have ordered Dragon Dictate so have not tried it yet. But I see from the demo that you can give commands like File>new. So I wondered if in FCE one could speak, File>export> Quicktime etc? Anything to save the old wrist.
Actually I am experimenting using my left hand on the mouse. sure does slow down and frustrate the use of FCE!

Dragon Dictate for MAC support

Maverick Dictation- or Dragon dictate-Which is better?

I've used Dragon dictate products since 2005 on PC's and then Macs. I want to know any advantages in switching to Maverick Dictation. Please advise.

I have been using Dragon Dictate for some time. The initial training took about half an hour, after which it had a very high accuracy rate in recognizing my own voice. I appreciated being able to specify the accent of which English I was speaking -- North American mid north continent -- or something like that. It got pretty close to the general accent of English as spoken in Manitoba, and the voice training seemed to round out the fine details. It did not train for slang expressions, such as our habit of ending many phrases with "eh?", but I suppose I could train it to do so, eh?
I liked that Dragon Dictate did not have to go back to a central server somewhere every time I wanted to use it. As I recall, it gave me an 'enhanced" option similar to the Mavericks option.
I am still learning how to enter the command mode and easily switch back and forth between dictate mode and command mode. The dictation is very easy. The commands take a significant learning curve.
I appreciate also that I can dictate text into almost any app, document, spreadsheet, web page, and so on. I had a lot of typing to do (and I type about 80 words a minute), and decided that I needed to learn to use my voice to dictate text, in addition to simply typing. I talk slightly faster than I can type. Being naturally long-winded, dictating text fills up more space than typing words.
I will be testing Mavericks Dictate in the near future to get a better idea of how the two compare.

Speech recognition expert Dan Newman of Sayican.com has a training video for Dragon Dictate. There is a free lesson that you can download.

I the Dragon Dictate Plugin Safe to install? A warning message came up

I recently received a message from Dragon Dictate (Nuance) asking me to install a new plugin. When I went to do so a warning message came up saying that the plugin was not fully compliant with standards and that it might allow outsiders to access my personal data. All comments are welcome.
Thanks.
Roy

Assuming you are using that program, should probably contact its developer to determine the reason for the message.
Without knowing the source or the content of the warning message, all others can do is guess. A screenshot would be helpful.

Trouble with mic on dragon dictate?

i am having problems with my macbook running 10.9.1 using dragon dictate headset, mic keeps saying not connected.

It's a generic Dragon USB mic that works fine on my Powerbook, so I'm not convinced the problem lies with the mic as such . . .

Can the Mavericks dictation and speech app coexist with Dragon Dictate?

I just turned on the dictation and speech app. I already had dragon dictate installed. Now nothing works for dictation. Can they exist together? How? Thanks for the help.

I too have Dragon Dictate. There appear to be some low-level device driver conflicts between Mavericks Dictate and Dragon Dictate, especially when using the Plantronics BT300 wireless headset. The Plantronics BT300 unit has a pre-paired bluetooth USB attachment that connects with the wireless headset.
Usually the Dragon Dictate software works when I launch it.
When I try to use the BT300 headset with certain other apps, sometimes it hangs.
In particular, when using GoToMeeting, the Plantronics BT300 microphone works, but the Plantronics BT300 audio does not work. I am able to use the built-in Mac speakers on my iMac to receive the audio.
In trying to set up the BT300 headset for both microphone and audio output to the BT300 headset, the system displays the "beach ball" for lengthy periods of time. A couple of times the entire iMac system hung, and I had to do a force power-off, then reboot.
Today was the first time I attempted to turn on the Mavericks Dictate. The entire system appeared to slow down around the attempt to use the Plantronics BT300 headset. I will next turn off Dragon Dictate, and see if Mavericks Dictate will accept the BT300 unit.
I have also a wired Plantronics headset, and will unhook the bluetooth headset and plug in the wired headset and see if that combination works any better.
Just to complicate things, I have also installed Parallels Desktop for Mac (and keep it updated to the current version and update level for Mavericks). Parallels has a virtual audio adapter, and I have NOT yet tried using either version of Dictate with a Windows guest operating system.
Advice and comments are appreciated.

Dragon Dictate for iPad2 in New Zealand ?

I would really appreciate feedback, confirmation and assistance with the following query.
I have recently just got an iPad 2 and live here in New Zealand and really want to get Dragon Dictate, however, when I go to any link on the Internet and then go to the iTunes Store, I am told that my request could not be completed ?
Is Dragon Dictate available in New Zealand for iPad 2 users ?
If it is I would really appreciate some assistance locating this product that I greatly need as I am unable to use my right arm for continuous typing.
I look forward very much to hearing people's feedback and assistance on this matter.

Open the app store link on your iPad.
See the icon on the bottom, the one of a magnifying glass that says "search" under it, press it.
In the text box type "dragon dictate" and press the blue search button.
If the app does not show in the results, it's not available.

Dragon dictate

I am learning to use Dragon dictate 2.5 and recently matched with iPhone. When I go to vocabulary training as it processes the document it takes very long and freezes with a multi-coloured circular ball. I cannot exit or force quit most of the time. Please advise.

Amazon.com sells it for $158. Product comes with a proper microphone for use with the software. If you don't want it at that price then you're SOL because there is nothing else except the built-in speech recognition software in OS X but it does not have the capabilities of Dictate. There is no freeware/shareware software similar to Dictate.

Dragon Dictate headset not recognized by V3

The usb headset came with Dragon Dictate v3. After defining the Profile and proceeding to Training, I am instructed that I need to attach the headset!!!
I have been a user of Dragon Dictate since its inception ... it isn't me!
Frustrated Chuck

Linc,
Thanks for your response. Yes, other USB devices do work. Checked the Dragon microphone on System Preferences > Sound. The output was bad unless the Alert Volume was at max ... and even then not loud. Input was low.
I do have another Dragon microphone and that works fine as per System Preferences > Sound! Tried to use it with Dragon Dictate with same results as in my query.
In a related issue, I also have a Sennheiser microphone which has superb audio characteristics but is not USB. I used it for many years, since Dragon Dictate was released. Now, however, Dragon dictate gives the same respoinse as above.????
Any input or suggestions?
Chuck
