Guys, I’m a little late answering this post because I was hospitalized for a while. I’m better now so here goes: Nuance as the company has turned the corner from being the premier voice software to becoming a mega marketing platform. None of the speech products are up to production code. Personally I am using voice for Mac professional and over the last 6 months I’ve had at least 700 crashes. He version 5 of the program was so bad • that they had pull it back from production. That did not mean giving everyone their money back and just put out a version 6 and charge everyone $249 for an upgrade. That upgrade was unintelligible until version 6.02, which only crashed every 30 minutes.
It wasn’t merely time-consuming going from release to release but it meant training and retraining every version that came out. I am currently running 6.07 and it does not crash as much as long as I do not have too many things on the screen at the same time. It seems that Dragon must keep its eye on every button, link or words in its memory in order to navigate properly. You are not the only one who has mistakingly upgraded their equipment due to Nuance malfeasance. Their user forum, once a place to solve problems or share experiences just mysteriously closed down when user population use the forum for nothing but suing Nuance for false advertising and loss hours of production. This was not the only people who are buying $300-$400 one time boxes. The lawyers and doctors who pay thousands of dollars to build the practices upon which recognition of also lost out. The competition is starting to squeeze Nuance out on the voice recognition arena. Programs like Siri and Alexa are already composing messages small emails > On Nov 2, 2017, at 11:42 AM, DEBRA DEW <[email protected]> wrote: > > I bought the fastest Dell computer I could about six months ago to be able to > run Dragon naturally speaking 13 optimally, and at least once a month it was > crashing so badly I had to have a computer guy come fix it will.
