How can I convert spoken words to text on my MacBook

I am a leader of a group that has a profoundly deaf person who is interested in joing with us.
The problem is that hearing aids don't work for him and neither does amplifyed sound with headphones.
He is quite good on a computer.
What I would like to find is software that will convert a discussion group into words that can be displayed on my MBP.  I have an ultra sensitive mic that I can use as well.
I have explored Dragon.  But that needs to be trained to a single voice so it would not be useful in a group discussion.
Does any one have a suggestion or solution for me?
Dunc
I have a MacBook Pro, iPad Mini and an iPad Air as well as an iPhone 5s so you know the tools I have available

This may be a roundabout solution, but if you speak into the iPhone, you should be able to copy-paste the text recognized into any application that utilizes icloud, then access the pasted text from another device.

    Hello fruhulda.
    Before writting that, I checked the openOffice Save dialog.
    And one more time, michaelfromrochester write about what he isn't aware.
    The fact that abiwork open Wordperfect documents doesn't prove that openoffice doesn't.
    The link posted by Tom claims that it does.
    I repeat my request:
    I wish to receive a sample file to check if the embedded importer really works.
    About zamzar, I would never use an online service to translate/transcode an important document.

    My Intensity II phone often receives texts as all symbols or group messages as blank screens. How can I convert these to readable texts?

        Intensity2user,
    Being able to read your texts is really important and we'll be happy to help you get them working correctly. How long has this issue been going on for? Has texting ever worked correctly for you?
    Also, when you receive texts as all symbols do you know what is contained in those texts? Are there any images in them by chance? Even a smily? If the person sending you the message tries to send it again are you able to read it?

  • How can I convert 300 pages of Text to a PDF?

    What product would I need to convert a PDF file (300 pages of text) back into a Word 2007 document? How would I load it onto a computer that is not online? Would I lose all the PDF formating? Thank you.

    acrobat pro can save pdfs to word documents.
    how would you load what, that's located where onto a computer that's not online and is what relationship to the file that's to be loaded?
    no, you wouldn't necessarily lose pdf formatting when converting to a word document.  i'm not sure you'll be able to edit everything in word, though.

  • How can I convert a word file into a pdf and then upload to a web site?

    I need to convert a word document into a pdf and then upload it to a web site so people can read it from my
    site. How can I do this? Can anyone please help? I'm only a newbie. Thanking you in anticipation.

    Hi there,
    There's actually an easy streamlined way to do this using Acrobat.com. Here are the steps:
    1. Log in to Acrobat.com with your Adobe ID.
    2. On the left, you'll see a navigation menu that includes the item "Import and Edit". Click that.
    3. Choose the .doc (Word) file you want to convert and upload it to Buzzword.
    4. After making sure that it looks the way you want it to, go to the top menu (still in Buzzword now, not the organizer where all your files live) and click the document menu. There will be an option to "Export" - choose that.
    5. When prompted to select filetype, choose "Adobe PDF" and press OK.
    6. It'll save to your desktop, so now you have to get it into your acrobat.com organizer. To do that, close the Buzzword document by clicking the little "x" in the upper right corner, under the Sign Out button. This'll get you back to your organizer, where you can choose "Import" from the left nav menu again. This time choose your new PDF file.
    7. Select the  file icon in the organizer and click the Share button. Or, select Share  from the file context menu.
    8. Select Allow Anyone With A  Link To Share This Document to set the document to open access, and then  click Copy Embed Code. The necessary HTML code to embed the preview is  copied onto the clipboard.
    9. Open the HTML file and paste  the code into the file. The Flash previewer can display any file type  that you can convert to PDF.
    Hope this helps! Good luck, and let us know how it works out.

  • How can I convert MS Word to PDF (w/ hyperlinks and bookmarks)?

    Hello,
    I have a 1000+ page MS Word document that I'm trying to convert to PDF.
    If in MS Word I select Adobe PDF > Convert to Adobe PDF my system hangs. (I've let it sit for over 2.5 hours with no progress.)
    I can easily print to a .prn file and then distill the file to create a PDF. However, when I do this method, the PDF comes through with no hyperlinks and no bookmarks. Are there any conversation settings so that this method will create the hyperlinks/bookmarks?
    Given the size of the PDF, hyperlinks/bookmarks are extremely important. Any other ideas/tips would be appreciated.
    thanks,
    Kara

  • How can I convert my Word files to Pages en masse?

    I want store all my docs on iCloud, but they're Word files and I gather that iCloud accepts only Pages docs. Is there any way to convert all my files en masse rather than one-by-one?

  • How can I convert scanned docs into reconizable text?

    I have a very large PDF file of scanned documents the content of which is mostly text. How can I convert this into recognizable text so I could do a word search that would reveal results like a web search (speed wise)?

    Can the OCR apps convert preexisting PDF files on
    your system to text or do you have to scan directly
    into the OCR program at the time you do the original
    scan?
    You don't have to scan again. OCR apps can read from graphics files. If the OCR you pick can't use PDF, you can use Preview, or another application (e.g. Graphics Converter), to convert to a file format that the OCR can handle. All OCR apps should be able to handle TIFF. OmniPage Pro X can read both TIFF and PDF, but I wouldn't recommend it. It is overpriced, has no support, and is tricky to install on any OSX more recent than 10.1

It seems that it can only save the converted file to my online account. I went to my online account but I see no way to look for the file

    Hey Fabrizio,
    You might need to sign up at "https://cloud.acrobat.com/exportpdf" using your Adobe ID credentials to convert your PDF file to Word.
    Do you get the 'download' prompt?
    Also, you can find the converted files by clicking at the 'Files' tab. 
    Please try the same using a different browser and check.
    Hope to hear from you.
    Regards,
    Anubha
