To start, this document is being dictated with Dragon naturally speaking. However, I am using another version of Windows that works well with said product.

This speech recognition program I have used for several years and I have used different versions of it. Right now I am on version 11 and am quite happy with it. Now the bad news. It has been widely reported that Dragon naturally speaking, even this version, will not work well on Windows The parent company, Nuance, claims there is a workaround and that they are going to get it right eventually.

They have had plenty of time to adjust their product to work with Windows It’s not as if Windows 10 just dropped on the scene instantly. Developers who had plenty of time to try their products on Windows So then why am I posting this negative rant. Because it is such a outstanding product many people will want to use Dragon Naturally Speaking instead of trying to put up with a mediocre speech recognition that’s found in Windows Sad to say, it’s a bad combination.

This is not something I made up. I did some research on the subject before trying it out and came to the conclusion that I best stay away from trying to put it on Windows It works good right now on my older XP system. Now I would rather be able to go into Windows 10 because it has some outstanding features that I need. But good speech recognition is just not in Windows 10 at the present time.

So if you’re thinking of purchasing Dragon Naturally Speaking, you may have tfor anything I’ve said that’s untrueo make some major adjustments to your Windows 10 system if the company ever gets around to coming up with the patches needed. Otherwise, you’ll have to use an older version of Windows, such as Windows 7.

If you have any doubts about the veracity of what I’m telling you, just go to their website and look around in their forum and you’ll see people griping about it. But it’s much further than that, there are complaints all over the Internet about the failure of the company to make the corrections needed to work with Windows So there you have it. It’s a great product from a company that doesn’t understand the importance of making software work with a modern operating system.

They just don’t get it. If you have some information to the contrary and can document it, please reply to this post and offer corrections to anything I said. Now I am going to turn off microphone. Your title is misleading, since you are specifically referring to a 5 year old version. Version 13 is supported on Windows Version 11 supports up to Windows 7.

I was trying to dereference Null Pointers before it was cool. I welcome anything you have to offer about this subject. If the issue is Microsoft not making the API more transparent, so bit it. Users have complained that Nuance has not done the right thing.

Yes, most of the gripes are from last year. It is hard to find a clear response from Nuance. You can find those sorts of complaints about pretty much any product. Either people complain that an older unsupported product does not work on the latest release, or they encounter problems installing the latest version and assume it is a compatibility issue. First complaint is about Version 12 which did not support Windows 10, as it was released in Second complaint is one complaint agreeing with other complaints but providing no detail beyond “I can’t use it”.

People have issues installing otherwise compatible software all the time. I had to try 5 times dealing with arbitrary meaningless error codes on this system to upgrade to Windows 10, for example, and while trying to install a store App I’ve seen completely blank dialog boxes with no text at all that then prompt “Do you want to cancel” when I click The close button.

These are presumably exceptions to the rule eveni f I can find countless postings of other people with the same issue because nobody posts on support forums that “Everything is working fine” Nobody looks for a site like “consumeraffairs” to leave glowing positive reviews. As far as personal experience with DNS I obviously don’t have any.

Though the links don ‘t demonstrate that it doesn’t work; you can find similar complaints about effectively any software product. For example Visual Studio is claimed to not work on Windows 10 in much the same manner- because people can’t install it. And yet I’ve had it installed without issue. Again, I am doing some dictation. I have used the following phrase to search on Google. This is disturbing. Since last year up till now you would think that Nuance would publish more recent information about installing their product on Windows Instead, older articles are still being found by the search engine.

I would think that if they have found a good solution to the problem that existed a year ago, they would have consulted with Google and advised him to use the more recent information when answering the search phrase I have posted above. In fact, one of the things that shows up in the search is actually an article written by Nuance last year and there is a notation that indicates it has been recently reviewed.

At the present time, the home version of the product is number In current advertisements version 14 is for professional use and is quite a bit more expensive than the home version. Still, even if I were to shell out money for version 14, I would be concerned about getting adequate support for the product from Nuance.

The information on their website should be more up to date and reflect the current state of affairs. So, I’m going to wait and see if anybody else can come up with some positive information that will indicate to me that there is a way of using Dragon NaturallySpeaking home version on Windows 10 without having some very significant problems.

And yes, I do agree with you. I agree with the issue about users not making full use of the resources they have available. Just recently I had to reinstall version 11 on my computer and order to do that properly and to pick a different program directory for Dragon NaturallySpeaking and at the same time I registered my product and got myself a proper username.

I don’t recall if I had received a username before or not, I couldn’t find anything in my records. Anyhow, with a new registration and a new username and installing in a different directory the program came up and worked right the first time in Windows XP. I am talking about version 11 for home use.

As you mentioned, version 13, the one that is being currently advertised on Amazon for home use, was released about the same time that Windows 10 was released. Unfortunately after one year of Windows 10 the still seems to be some issue with even version Hopefully they will update information on their own website to indicate that the problem has been fully resolved.

However, as you have mentioned, there is something that Microsoft needs to do to make the Windows 10 API work better with third-party programs. Since I am no longer active in commercial programming, I can only guess at what that could mean. One last note. Any typos or grammatical errors are from direct dictation into either notepad or the computer Hope reply box. I have left intact any of the errors of spelling and grammar to illustrate the power of this product.

It is excellent. In my opinion, that is excellent. I really do hope that they will make it work good with Windows 10 before I have to switch over everything to Windows End of rant. Quote from: Geek-9pm on July 26, , PM. Yes “run” not “ruin”. However, that would also be a question. Then came out the Windows 10 anniversary date, and I thought I would try again, so I updated and installed Dragon NaturallySpeaking 13 which boasted all of the compatibilities, they were wrong, it was the exact same problem and worse, now they were expecting me to almost completely dictate into the dictation box for every single application instead of directly into what I wanted to use, and using the transfer button which essentially copied and pasted from the dictation box, now this is a nightmare if you want to dictate things quickly, because it has no text options, you cannot adjust font size, okay yes it would dictate with accuracy, but then you would have to completely edit everything, and then if you had overlooked any mistakes, you could no longer correct, at least by voice because you are outside of the dictation box now experiencing the problem with selecting explained above!

So I uninstalled DNS 13, rolled back windows to the previous build, and reinstalled Dragon naturally speaking 10, and everything was smooth for almost a year until Windows 10 Creators Update!

Because I am a quadriplegic paralysed from the chest down and kind of dependent on Dragon NaturallySpeaking for typing I am now beginning to research the “unsupported” dates of both windows 7 and 8. Hopefully this is helpful to other people! Apparently my version of Dragon naturally speaking version 11 works good in Windows 7.

However, there is a very serious problem. I activated this product using my windows XP operating system. I have also installed windows seven bit on this same computer.

Hopefully this is helpful to other people! Apparently my version of Dragon naturally speaking version 11 works good in Windows 7. However, there is a very serious problem.

I activated this product using my windows XP operating system. I have also installed windows seven bit on this same computer. Both operating systems are legitimate.

Now here’s the problem. Apparently Dragon cannot figure it out that I have to operating systems on one computer and is asking me to buy another license so I can have the Dragon installed on two computers. But I’m not using it on two computers nor can I use two instances of it at the same time. I have only one mouth and I am not double tongued. My handicap is much, much less that your handicap.

I lost sight of one eyeball and am not able to read normally. I have to wear glasses and being a foot away from the screen in order to read clearly. It is not that my eye is out of focus, it’s just that the central part of the inter eye is not able to recognize objects correctly. It comes from a childhood problem I had that was not a problem until I lost the sight of my once good retina of the right eye. Anyway, after a bit it finally let me go ahead and start dictating using Windows 7.

I suppose in a few days and all night me again about buying a license for this version of the Dragon. I’m not even going to try to install it on Windows And yes, I have to use the DragonPad. Trying to use other software becomes very difficult. When posting on computer Hope I do not try to use the Dragon inside of the text box on the computer Hope website.

I certainly admire your patience and endurance to deal with your handicap. I understand what it means to become discouraged and feel like just giving up on everything. And then after thinking about it for a while, I realize I have nothing to complain about all. Other people have things much worse than I do. Here on computer Hope there are some really nice people that will help you out. I still come back here even though sometimes I annoy other people and they get irritated with me for my ranting and carrying on about things that should not be an issue.

Well, when a person is very frustrated, even little things become an issue. Please come back here to the computer Hope form anytime you feel like it and say anything you want about anything. Now here’s a comment about the possible future Windows The future Windows 10 is very uncertain. At some point in time Microsoft is going to have to come to a fork in the road. In fact, they already have. It’s not possible to have one version of Windows 10 that will satisfy everybody. Some features necessary in an enterprise are not needed at all in a home environment.

And some of the security updates that Microsoft has made have been catastrophic. Hundreds of users have complained they have lost the usability or functionality of their computer because of a Windows 10 update. This means that professional users must turn off the automatic updates altogether and then manually do the updates over the weekend after making a backup of the entire system. I am not exaggerating. Talk to some people that work in the big companies.

For now Microsoft will in support for Windows 7 and soon stop.
