As a new graduate student, (second career), with questionable keyboarding (used to call it typing, back in the day) skills, I often have volumes of handwritten rough draft pages to enter to get to written/typed text, to hand in for papers.
Isn't there a transcription/voice memo app that can be used to save on keyboarding?
Best to use with MacBook Air?
Thanks, Uncle Deeej
MacBook Air, iOS 8.0.2
Try Dragon Dictate by Nuance. It probably is the best available.
Yep definitely Dragon Dictate. It just got upgraded today to 'Dragon for Mac' - the new version is much better too.

did you tried built in dictation? System Prefs> Dictation and Speech
OS X built in version is a nice novelty to have a go at it but not a workable productive solution.
Even Dragon has problems with transcription. Dictating is speaking live to computer, where you say things like 'period, new line'. Transcription is going from a recorded speech.
The best way to do transcription is to pay a human, there's some good online services, but Dragon for Mac works in some situations.
I did an example of OS X vs Dragon and posted the visas of the results here:

That will give you an idea of what they do.
What is the best transcription program to use with Mac. To go from spoken transcript to written?
