Step 1:

While you're searching in the iPad or iPhone App Store, you may not be ready to purchase just yet, but there's an easy way to make sure you can find the app later. 

Step 2:

First, open the App Store icon on your iPad or iPhone.

Step 3:

When you find an app that you want to possibly purchase in the future, one way to make sure that you can find that specific app (in the future) is the icon in the upper right-hand corner, the arrow protruding out of the box. Simply tapping that opens up some options. 

For one you could mail yourself an email which contains a link, or you can send yourself a message which contains a link, or you can simply copy that link and then paste it into a note for further reference.

Step 1:

I recently received a comment on one of my posts in regards to my videos, and the comment was that they were interested in the video but because they were deaf they were having trouble understanding totally what my post was referencing.

So that got me to thinking. Why not do a written transcript of each one of my videos that I could post on the Internet so that individuals with hearing difficulties would be able to follow along with the script while they watch what was being posted on the video?

So I figured out that with Dragon Dictation on my iPad and another audio source such as my iPhone or a computer, I'd be able to create a written transcript of each one of my videos without very much difficulty. 

Step 2:

In order to begin the transcription of the video into written text, I first want to open the Dragon Dictation app on my iPad. Once this opens, up in the upper right-hand corner the + sign is going to offer me the opportunity to create a new document.

And, then with the tap and dictate option in the middle of the screen, I'm going to tap that and that's going to begin my dictation.

Step 3:

With Dragon Dictation on my iPad, I'm going to start recording. With my iPhone I'm going to be playing the video that I want to create the written transcription from. You will notice at the bottom I'm seeing an audio track. So, it shows that indeed I am recording. Then when I'm finished, I'm going to tap the screen. It's going to complete the recording, and I'm going to be viewing here a written transcription of what had been playing on my iPhone. At this point, tap the little icon at the bottom of the screen, a keyboard will open up, and I'm going to be able to go ahead and edit that the same way I would with any normal word processing program.

Step 4:

Now, the final step in Dragon Dictation is I need to export my text into some form that I can use later. Up in the right-hand corner, I have some options. I can e-mail, cut, copy. In this case, I want to go ahead and I'm going to copy the text that we see here on the screen. And, I'm going to paste that into Pages on my iPad so I can use it later when I want to go ahead and create my final transcription.

Step 1:

I enjoy taking pictures with my camera that uses a SD card, but what I really enjoy is going ahead and doing the editing on my iPad. And it's really very simple to get what's on the SD card for my camera onto my iPad. Here, let me show you how.

Step 2:

Standard formats supported include: 

For photos, JPEG and raw.

For videos,  H.264 and MPEG-4.

And for additional compatibility questions, consult Apple.com/iPad/specs for a complete compatible formats listing.

Step 3:

First thing we want to do is take the card from our camera and we're going to insert that into the dongle that's part of the Apple camera connection kit. And, in this case it is a 30-pin connector and that goes with my iPad 3. If you have a newer iPad mini, that's going to use the lightning connector. There are also cables and ways of using this (30-pin connector) to go ahead and hook to the lightning connector or to start fresh with other cables compatible with the lightning connector.

The next thing we want to do is simply... we're going to insert this into the 30-pin connector on the iPad, and then the iPad’s software is going to take over from there.

Step 4:

After we attach the camera connection kit to the iPad, you'll notice that it automatically recognizes the SD card that we've placed in the kit connector, and you'll see that it recognizes also the photos that are on the card. In this case you'll notice a couple of pictures up at the top that are marked in the green checkmarks, and that means that we've previously imported those photographs from the card. So this time let's select a couple of others we would like to bring. And, you will notice that as I marked those, they're coming in with a blue checkmark meaning those we've activated for importing this time.

Step 5:

Once we've selected the ones we want, down at the bottom we have a choice to import in the blue (selection option) the photos, and we have an option of importing all of them or only the ones we've selected. In this case let's import only those that we've selected with the blue checkmark. Those have been imported, and it asks us now if we would like to delete those from the camera chip, and we're going to say "no" we like to keep them. And, at this point the pictures have been imported onto the iPad and they're going to be in an album called "last imports."
