How can I get the function of dictation in my Mac 10.6.8 without buying dragon?

I want to have the function of dictation in my Mac 10.6.8 Snow Leopard.  I read that if I upgrade to ML I can have it, but it will not allow some softwares to work. Dragon is too expensive, so any other ideas??? 
Thanks!!!

There is no dictation facility built into Snow Leopard so you would have to obtain a third-party program; Dragon Dictate is the best known - I don't know if there even are any others; you could try Google.

  • How can I get the functionality of the old "Spaces" in Mission Control?

    Without these three capabilities Mission Control is a giant step backward....I am disappointed in the way it works and would liketo know how to disable it and give me back the way spaces used to work.
    Thank you.

    Currently you cannot.

    You cannot organise Mission Control's "Desktops" this way. They are organised in a single row to allow the swipe gestures to work. Apple allows no way to customise this.

    By deafult you should be able toi switch by pressing ctrl plus the desktop number, e.g. ctrl+1. This is the same as Spaces in Snow Leopard. You can customise this under System Preferences (Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts > Mission Control).

    A lot of people are disapointed with Mission Control. In my opinion it's a step backwards from Spaces & Expose in Snow Leopard but peoples views on this will depend if they used Spaces & Expose in Leopard/Snow Leopard and the type of Mac they are using - it makes some sense on a Macbook Air, for example, with a small screen and multi-touch trackpad but not so much on an iMac or Mac Pro (sames goes for Launchpad). I just hope Apple listens to the criticism and enables customisation options to change the way Mission Control behaves.

  • How can i get the time capsule to use my mac's mac address

    on some wireless routers you can get the router to use the mac address of a client connected to it instead of it's own.
    Can i do that on the time capsule?

    Sorry, but no. You cannot change (spoof) the MAC address on any of the AirPort/Time Capsule routers.

  • Using dtrace how can we get the functionality of prstat ,vmstat

    Hi,
    I would like to know what probes can be used to generate a dtrace (.d) script which could produce the output of prstat,vmstat etc.I cannot use these commands at the command prompt directly to know my system's behavior.Can any one here help me out to get this thing realized.I have stiff deadlines to meet .....and i am behind them already...
    Thanking for your support in advance.
    Karthik

    There's probably not an exact equivalent. I'd start with the 'dtrace toolkit' and see if there's something in there that meets your needs.
    But it's not designed to replace tools that already work well. Why would you be able to use dtrace and not vmstat?

  • My hard drive crashed with no backup.  How can I get the data from iCloud onto my Mac?

    My hard drive went bad and needed to be replaced and I've lost everything that was on it (no backup - I know, I know...).  Fortunately much of my data was backed up either on icloud or my ipad but I haven't been able to find any information about restoring it FROM icloud or ipad TO my Mac, only about how to restore to an ios device.  I am running Lion.  Thank you!

    I guess what I meant to say was that I can log on to icloud to see my contacts, calendars, etc but is there a way to get that data onto my computer?  In other words, how do I associate my new hard drive with my icloud account?  I am probably not phrasing this properly - sorry.  Three days ago (pre-crash) my desktop was configured to reflect my icloud info but I don't know how to make it do so again...does this make sense

  • How can we get the image which is stored in clipboard by labview, is there any functions available like text from clip board

    How can we get the image which is stored in clipboard by labview, i can get the text in clipboard by using invoke node directly.but i cannot get the image, is there any functions or vi available.(image is in Png format)

    The Read from Clipboard method is, unfortunately, limited to text. If the clipboard contains an image then you need to use OS-specific functions calls. This is an example program for Windows. It's old, but it should still work.

  • I just installed Readdledocs on my ipod, and now when I launch the app, I get a screen which says "downloading message" and the app freezes and won't do anything else.  How can I get the app to function again?

    I just installed Readdledocs on my ipod, and now when I launch the app, I get a screen which says "downloading message" and the app freezes and won't do anything else.  How can I get the app to function again?
    This happened after I tried to get Readdledocs to open an epub file which I created in Calibre.

    This is a followup to my own posting above.
    Thanks to Dave Sawyer for posting information about re-downloading an app which has been deleted.  I deleted the app from iTunes.  Then, when I synched, iTunes asked me if I wanted the items on my ipod touch copied back into iTunes.  I said yes and then synched.
    Readdledocs is now working again.  It is no longer frozen.  However, I have learned my lesson.  I will download only pdf's from now on.  I don't think it works so well with epub files.  The text reflow feature of Readdledocs is exactly what I need to use for my work documents on my ipod touch.

  • I am having macbook air recently my iphotos did not open and was showing report apple and reopen but i came to know that by pressing alt and iphotos i open an new photo library and stored the pics but now how can i get the pics which i had in the earlier

    i am having macbook air recently my iphotos did not open and was showing report apple and reopen but i came to know that by pressing alt and iphotos i open an new photo library and stored the pics but now how can i get the pics which i had in the earlier photo please help me to recover my photos

    Well I'll guess you're using iPhoto 11:
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • How can I get the underlying object from the ObjectReference

    Dear friends,
    I think this question has been asked a couple of times. But, I am still wondering if anybody has found an answer to it. Maybe this is some common need ...
    I would like to get the underlying object for which the ObjectReference is
    a mirror For example, I have a class Customer in my application, and I can get an ObjectReference through JDI during runtime. But how can I get the target VM's object which is a real instance of Customer, by which I can invoke methods defined in Customer?
    Thank you so much for any input!
    SunnyDay

    I'll preface this response by admitting this far from an elegant solution, but I did write a function addressing this question, mostly as an exercise.
    If passed an object with an InTextFrame property (Pgf, AFrame, Cell, Fn) that resides in an open document, the function will return the Doc object. Otherwise, it returns undefined.
    function getParentDoc(testObj) {
        //Get object for current page
        try { var curPage = testObj.InTextFrame.FrameParent.PageFramePage; }
        catch(er) {return;}
        //Step backwards to first page in document
        var prevPage = curPage.PagePrev;
        while (prevPage.ObjectValid())
            curPage = prevPage;
            prevPage = prevPage.PagePrev;
        //Compare with first pages of open documents
        var testDoc = app.FirstOpenDoc;
        while (testDoc.ObjectValid())
            if (curPage.id==testDoc.FirstBodyPageInDoc.id) return testDoc;
            testDoc = testDoc.NextOpenDocInSession;    
        return;
    To your PPS: Rather than seeing the native framework grow bloated to address additional features, I would love to see Adobe and other developers publish libraries of useful functions and class extensions.

  • How can we get the table name...

    Hi All,
    How can we get the actual table name for an argument if its datatype is %ROWTYPE.
    For Ex :
    function ACCOUNT_UPDATE (account_no number,
    person person%rowtype,
    amounts dbms_describe.number_table,
    trans_date date)
    return accounts.balance%type;
    In the above function 'ACCOUNT_UPDATE', for argument person the datatype is 'person%rowtype'.
    Is there any way to get the name from Data Dictionary tables.
    I tried using All_Arguments and DBMS_DESCRIBE, I can able to get all the individual fields of %ROWTYPE by I could not able to know the exact table name thru the DD.
    my requirement is dynamically I need to declare a variable for the argument datatype.
    Your help is highly appreciated.
