Is there anyway I can enable dictation without having to press any keys?

Being disabled I am unable to use my hands and would like to know is there anyway I can enable dictation without having to press any keys. In Maverick this was possible as you was able to start and stop dictation by speech without having to use the keyboard. Being able to start and stop dictation by speech command this will help everyone who is in the same position as me and cannot physically move. It would be great if Apple can add this in the future. Please reply somebody. Thanks

I don't know of a way to do that, but there is a third-party product called "Dragon Dictate" that does have a voice-activation feature. I'm not otherwise familiar with it. I will ask the moderators to move your question to the Accessibility forum where you might get more information. There are also websites dedicated to assistive technology on the Mac, such as this:

  • I lost my iphone 4 last night is there anyway i cant track it without having the app find my iphone

    i lost my iphone 4 last night is there anyway i cant track it without having the app find my iphone

    There is no app needed.
    find my iphone is a built in feature of the iphone.  If you set it up on your iphone before it was lost, then go to icloud.com and try to locate it.
    Otherwise, you cannot track it.

  • Hi, is there anyway I can download apps without needing the admins password

    Hi, is there anyway I can download apps from the app store without needing the admins password.

    To download applications from the App Store, you need your Apple ID password, not your administrator account. The password will be saved for some minutes after inserting it once, so you will be able to install as many apps as you want without inserting the Apple ID password

  • My new mini iPad got stolen, I didn't have chance to register yet, is there anyway I can register it without the device.

    My mini iPad got stolen, I didn't even have chance to register yet, Is there any way I can register it without my device? I called the Apple support, they suggested that I should register, they even gave me the website to register which is already closed. NOT VERY HELPFUL.  Can any one tell me what to do?

    Note: If you have actived the iPad by signing in with Apple ID and Password, it should be already registered in My Support Profile.

  • Is there a way to pre-record the timing of the slides and effects in a keynote presentation, so that you can present it without having to press anything?

    Hi! It would be great if someone could tell me how to pre-record timings in a keynote presentation, so that when presented, it plays by itself, based on the pre-set recordings. I know there is a way to do it by going to      Inspector>Document> Audio> Record          However when you do this, your computer also records the sounds it picks up with the microphone, which can greatly affect the sound. I have Keynote '09. Thanks in advance!

    Open the Settings app > Notifications > Messages. Scroll down adn turn OFF "View In Lock Screen". You may want to consider setting Alert style to none, but this will not impact what happens when the screen is locked.

  • Is there a way to enable icloud without having the ipod cause i lost it

    i want to use find my phone can you enable icloud if i dont have my ipod

    You can't enable it on the iPod to find it, if it's lost. Sure you can set up iCloud on your computer(as long as you have Lion), but it will do no good if you didn't set it up on your iPod BEFORE it got lost.

    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school enviroment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
     Cheers, Tom

    What To Do If Your iDevice Is Lost Or Stolen
    iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad
    If you activated Find My Phone before it was lost or stolen, you can track it only if it is connected to the Internet by Wi-Fi or cellular. What you cannot do is track your device using a serial number or other identifying number. You cannot expect Apple or anyone else to find your device for you. You cannot recover your loss unless you insure your device for such loss. It is not covered by your warranty.
    If your iPhone, iPod, iPod Touch, or iPad is lost or stolen what do you do? There are things you should have done in advance - before you lost it or it was stolen - and some things to do after the fact. Here are some suggestions:

  • Is there anyway to take a downloaded app from one computer and put it on another without rebuying it. I have a macbook that I bought the new iMovie and iPhoto on, but I would rather it be on my iMac. So is there anyway I can change it?

    Is there anyway to take a downloaded app from one computer and put it on another without rebuying it. I have a macbook that I bought the new iMovie and iPhoto on, but I would rather it be on my iMac. So is there anyway I can change it?

The macbook has 10.6.8 cause its a older model and I think lion would slow it down. Any help??
