Dragon Voice Recognition Program. Which computer to buy?

Hi!
Can someone give me a laptop recommendation?
I've been told I need an i7 L3 minimum 8GB laptop.
I see that BEST BUY offers this configuration in Lenova, Asus, and HP.
Does anyone have a recommendation for a solid computer with these configurations?
Thanks!

my feeling is that the industry is pretty
much cross-platform at this point. From what I can
tell, he might never need to work on a PC, ever.
Possibly so, but there's grey areas in there. While ten years ago it was almost exclusively Mac-based, once Avid made the shift to Windows (immediately following their purchase by Microsoft, who within a few short years sold the company, leaving chaos in their wake), the dyke was broken. Nowadays you'll find Mac shops, PC shops, and companies that mix both platforms. BUT, the only software that is truly cross-platform is Avid. And remember - it IS the proverbial 800lb gorillla in the editing business, so skills learnt on a Mac Avid directly translate to PC Avid - the software is to all intents and purposes identical across both OS's. There's countless numbers of other editing systems on the Windows platform, none of which are any good in this writers opinion, but you can't deny there's a lot of work being done on Windows. I myself only own Macs and FCP, and will choose to use that solution when possible, but these past few weeks I'm working on a PC Avid. It's essential to have some cross-platform exposure, and very handy indeed to know more than one application.
But anything other than Avid or FCP is a complete waste of time if you want to be a working editor. Advise your b-in-l to get an Intel Mac, he won't regret it and he'll have the safety of knowing he'll be able to run both OS's. (As if he'd ever want to....)

Good voice recognition program needed.

I am loosing the use of my fingers and typing has been reduced to the use of the ole two finger trick. I do realize that some of you only know this way of typing but when you learn to type using all 20 fingers and 18 quit it is a challenge.
A friend uses a PC and swears by MS Word 2011 and using that voice recognition. He demonstrated how accurate the transcription is.
I purchased Office 2011 for Mac figuring it would have this same tool. I can't find it.
Any one been able to use Word 2011 for Mac? In the Mac Preferences in Dictation & Speech, when I turn Dictation "On", a dropdown window says "When you dictate text, what you say is sent to Apple to be converted to text. To help your Mac recognize what you're saying, other information is sent as well, such as your contacts."
What is this about? Is this a dictation setting or a voice recorder? Contacts?
Does this mean that Word 2011 for Mac doesn't have a voice recognition like the PC version? Or does it?
Any one help me with this?

Hi Andy - Unfortunately, there is no speech recognition for Microsoft Word. Like Rudegar mentions above, the best dictation software out there for the Mac is DragonDictate.
http://www.nuance.com/for-individuals/by-product/dragon-for-mac/dragon-dictate/i ndex.htm.
I use it all the time, in fact I am using it right now. It's a fairly expensive program but not only does it dictate your typing, but you can also have it open up programs and pretty much do anything you want by speaking into your microphone.
Not because you have a Mac, there is also the ability like you mentioned to use Apple's dictation software. Once you have turned on dictation like it looks like you have, by double tapping the command button on your keyboard a little microphone will pop up and you can start dictating. Then when you're done dictating you can hit the command key again to have it stop and type in the text your dictated.
Unlike DragonDictate, the Apple method is free but there are some limitations. First, there is a limitation to how much you can say before you have to have it type out the words. You also do not see the words as you're speaking them until you hit the command key to end your dictation.
But for the price of free, it is a very handy method to type. I would give that a try first, and then go to DragonDictate if you want to have more features.
Me know if I can help with anything else!

Which computer to buy

I am sure this topic is discussed over and over again, I am sorry for that. I am not a real techy person, so I'm reaching out to you all for some thoughts. I have a 2008 Mac Pro, and run Photoshop CC and Lightroom. I don't do any video editing. I shoot with a Canon 5D. I am inpatient and hate waiting for functions to complete. Color calibration is important for photography production. Would the new IMac I7 4.0 Ghz be a better bet than a Mac Pro Quad or 6 core? Do any of you have experience on Retina Display's? I am sure they are pretty to look at, but what I really care about is editing and printing, and speed. Does photoshop even utilize 6 core, or would that be over kill? Thanks for you help.

Either have more than enough computing power both to stream via UPnP to an XBox 360 or similar, or to be connected directly to a TV and, rather than stream to your TV, simply use your TV as a display panel.
Based on your wording and your product selections both having HDMI, it seems that you want this to be connected directly to a TV via HDMI, rather than using one of the myriad methods of streaming to a TV. If that is the case, I'd highly recomment going with this one instead:
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Acer+-+Revo+Desktop+-+4GB+Memory+-+750GB+Hard+Drive/4789903.p?id=1218527...
It includes a Blu-Ray drive to replace a Blu-Ray player, and a special self-storing keyboard and mouse designed to be used at a distance.
I'm a former Geek Squad employee, and I've spent my entire life and career taming technology. Kudos appreciated.

Dragon Naturally Speaking 9.0 voice recognition

I purchased a Satellite 205-S5814 with Windows Vista Select eleven months ago. I later installed Dragon Naturally Speaking 9.0. which was upgraded to the newer virson 9.5. It worked very well for a few months until one day I tried to log-on and the following message was displayed: "Dragon Naturally Speaking cannot find multimedia device. Check to see if your computer has a sound card, or if the multimedia wave-in component is missing from the soundcard."
How can I get my voice recognition program running again? I have tryed everything I can think of, including Toshiba and Windows Vista tech support. I have yet to speak with anyone who has any knowlege of what I am talking about.
I am a writer and the voice recognition program is very important to me.
Thank you,

I'm writing a book freehand and trying to move it to a wordprocessing program. I've tried dragon on windows and macbook but they just dont seem to work for me. When I use voice recognition on my iPhone it works great. I would like to fiind the same technology for my macbook for transcription.

Voice/speech recognition program

Hello,
i can't remove the symbol of the voice recognition program from the desktop/dock. Doubleclick only moves the symbol from the desktop to the dock.
I checked the system setup "speech":
"voice/speech recognition" and "voice over" are deactivated.
How can I remove this? It' s annoying.
Thank you for your reply.

Hello,
I know, this is the "normal" way to remove a symbol from the dock. Using only snow leopard, there is no problem. But: when I start parallels (and windows XP operating system) on my macbook, the symbol appears on the desktop. If I doubleclick, the symbol moves to the Dock. If I click and hold on the Dock icon, there is only 1 option (open speech recognition) instead of 2 options (open and options for example remove from dock).

Symbol speech recognition program appears on desktop when starting parallels

Hello,
when I start parallels, the symbol of the voice recognition program appears on the desktop. I can't remove this symbol from the desktop. Doubleclick only moves the symbol from the desktop to the dock.
I checked the system setup "speech" of my mac:
"voice/speech recognition" and "voice over" are deactivated. So it seems that the setups of windows XP operating system and/or parallels (working tools) are causing this.
How can I remove this symbol? It' s annoying.
Thank you for your reply.

I found it. The parallels settings are linked with the systemsettings on the Mac. So I looked at: Parallels > settings > enhanced > speech > deactivate spoken commands.

You need to transfer your domain.sites file from your MacBook to your iMac. This is the file where iWeb stores all info and can be found under User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites.
Transfer this file from your MacBook to the same place on your iMac and double click the domain.sites file and iWeb will open it on your iMac and you can update your site from there too.

I wanted to buy a Dragon ,Speech Recognition Programme for Mac but it says its for Lion, and I have Snow Leopard. Would it have worked on Snow leopard?

I wanted to buy a Dragon ,Speech Recognition Programme for Mac but it says its for OS Lion, and I have OS Snow Leopard. Would it have worked on Snow Leopard?

The simplest method would be to ask them for their Snow Leopard version and say you can't upgrade to 10.7 or 10.8. I'm almost sure they will sell you a copy.
Generally if your machine can only upgrade to 10.7 Lion and not directly to 10.8 Mountain Lion, then it's best left on 10.6.8. in my opinion as your going to loose too much other software and slow down your machine in the process.
This rapid OS X upgrade cycle has caused plenty of problems for users and developers alike, so I suspect you will find a sympathizer with the developer.
In fact I'm not recommending Mac's to anyone anymore because Apple simply has lost touch with reality.

Hello, I am interested in buying a new Macbook Pro but want to run Adobe CS package. Which computer do you recommend?

Hello, I am interested in buying a new Macbook Pro but want to run the latest Adobe CS package. Which computer do you recommend for best speed and perfromance?

Depending on the software you'll use - I doubt you'll be an expert on After Effects and use Photoshop, Illustrator and Dreamweaver like a pro (you may be an exception) - I have a 13" Macbook Pro simply because the 15" lacks the portability of the smaller size - the Retina 15" is alot lighter and if you can afford it - go for it!
I bought the Macbook Pro and replaced the 4GB of RAM with 8GB of RAM and replaced the HDD with an m4 SSD from Crucial. The SSD really makes a difference in app start up speeds, loading times and bootup speeds. The RAM ensures apps operate smoothly and everything is snappy. Since getting an SSD, I would say the performance of Photoshop and Illustrator is vastly improved. I can have both open whilst surfing the web, checking my email and even using Dreamweaver every once in a while. Multitasking is great.
To conclude, depedning on your price range, buying a £999 Macbook Pro and swapping the HDD for an SSD and the 4GB of RAm to 8GB, will ensure better performance than both 15" Models. However, buying a 15" Model and maxing out the specs, would beat the performance of a maxed out 13".
I have a 13" and it runs faster than it was when I first purchased it last year. Photoshop opens in 2/3 seconds and performance is great.
Hope this helps.
P.S. If you have the money, get the 15" Retina. If not, max out the 13" if you still want portability. Otherwise, get the 15" and max that out if you feel performance is poor.
The reason I say Retina, is because the maxed ram and SSD is already installed and saves alot of hassle aswell as the slimmer design and lighter weight.

TA21179 why i need to keep restarting my computer to make voice recognition work?

Trying to weigh ALL costs involved.
Thanks for any advice!!!

Anything you have that is powerpc code only will not run on a new machine. OS X 10.8 has no support for powerpc code (universal binary programs should be fine).
Other than that warning, without knowing exactly what programs you have, and what version you are on, it is hard to say whay will or will not migrate alright.
you might need to do some web searching and check apps at sites like roaringapps or on the programs Company web site.

How do I permanently REMOVE the Face Recognition program in Windows 8.1?

I want to Uninstall, permanently REMOVE, the Face Recognition program from Windows 8.1. When I select this program from the list of all programs displayed, I am not given an "uninstall" option, only the option to "change", which
then begins to install. I was able to uninstall once before, but somehow the program was placed back onto my computer and now the "uninstall" option is no longer available. Thanks!

Hello DePaix,
What is your current situation?
Have you tried the solution as MVP Cyber_Defend_Team mentioned?
Do this program preinstalled? If yes, we need to contact the manufacturer to receive better support.
If my understanding is right, you uninstalled it once, but the program was back and only the option to ‘change’.
Could you please provide us a screenshot to avoid misunderstanding if you willing to?
Can you run the program? If the program runs in the startup, we could use the tool System Configuration (msconfig) to disable apps or services that normally run at startup.
For more information, please take a look at the following article about using system configuration.

Hi Abdo,
I would recommend posting a comment on that document. The author should see your comment and respond. I am not sure about what the LabVIEW requirements are for that project.
