[QUAD-L] Dragon professional 10
Is anyone using Dragon professional 10? Does it work better with Vista and Dragon professional 9 or 9.5. It takes a lot of time to mouse grid to do anything in Vista. I like some of the features of Vista, but not that one. On Dragon nine it seem to already know most of the commands. I know some one out there has figured that out. Thank you Dana
Re: [QUAD-L] Dragon professional 10
I am still on 9.5, but I know one feature of 10 is 64-bit Vista support ...which is significant only if you need it to run on a 64-bit version of Vista.

RE: [QUAD-L] Dragon professional 10
Dana, I'm using Dragon NaturallySpeaking Professional 10 with Vista Home Premium and it works very well. It is critical to also install the Ver. 10 service pack 1 (a free upgrade) which resolves a number of issues. What software is requiring you to use mouse grid commands to do anything in Vista? Depending on the program, there may be alternative voice commands that will work more efficiently. Also, Professional lets you create your own custom commands through scripts and macros which may overcome any perceived limitations.

RE: [QUAD-L] Dragon professional 10
I use Ver. 10 on a 64-bit Vista machine and it works wonderfully. I do have a Core 2 Quad processor and 6GB of RAM which loads and runs Dragon very quickly. My computer waits for me these days instead of me waiting for it.

RE: [QUAD-L] Dragon professional 10
When you're in vista Dana, just ask it what can I say? A list of commands will come up. If you say show numbers it will show each clickable I am, say the number and OK and that will open. I like vista because you don't have to use mouse commands. However, I don't do web pages, and usually only use excel, word, and drawing program and the only game I do is mahjongg titans. So for me vistas plenty.

Bad enough I needed some care, but not having to stay in bed. Smaller than a dime and not too deep I used a few different products used to eat the dead tissue but not the good meat, then a pad of stuff you cut out and place on the wound that helps the healing, then cover with a dressing. But lately I keep getting wounds on my nutz. Not like a small pressure sore, more like a rubbed raw area. But today it was in a new area on the front of my nutz that was more like a deep wound that started bleeding. It doesn’t look like it gets much pressure there. I’ve used boxer briefs for years, but I’ll change to just briefs. I’ve switch to sweat pants awhile ago and it hasn’t helped. I spend hours each day outside in the heat and my crotch does get sweaty. I’ve tried different powders, but that just makes a sticky mess. You other guys ever have troubles in that area? G.

Re: [QUAD-L] Dragon professional 10
Dana, I use Dragon 10 and has Vista 64-bit. When I use Dragon, I turn my Vista off. I had used Dragon 8 and 9 but when I got Vista, it was a pain in the butt for me. It takes too long to recognize my speech, and it didn't work and all programs that I use. It really frustrated me. I do receive to error messages every time I turn Dragon on. I called the support group regarding these error messages, and they are still working on that. It's been about 3 months now, LOL. I just haven't taken the time to call them back regarding this problem. The messages are regarding hot keys used in another program, which I'm sure is the Vista program. Have a great summer!

RE: [QUAD-L] Dragon professional 10
Hi Naomi, It sounds like you need the Service Pack 1 update for Dragon 10 and possibly the 64-bit upgrade for Ver. 10 (it's free if you own the 32-bit version) for whichever edition of Dragon 10 you use. Are you working with Nuance.com on your error messages? They have been responsive for me in the past, though it did take several days at times. On the messages regarding hot keys used in another program, all of the Dragon default hot keys can be changed to whatever works best for you. Not trying to sell Dragon, but it's a good program and the problems you are having should be resolvable.

RE: [QUAD-L] Dragon professional 10
Naomi, Scripts and macros allow you to execute multiple actions (i.e. type text, issue keyboard commands, manipulate the mouse, etc.) with a single voice command. Here are a few simple examples I created: When I say Mayor's Committee Signature Dragon automatically types the following: Steve Oldaker Brunswick Glynn County Mayor's Committee on Services for the Disabled, Inc. www.mayorscommittee.org When I say Computer Club Signature Dragon automatically types the following: Steve Oldaker Southeast Coastal Georgia Computer Club www.secgcc.org When I say Undo Last (1-10) Dragon presses Ctrl+Z (the default undo command for most programs) 1 to 10 times depending on which number I spoke. This is great for MS Office programs and even Freecell. Hope this helps.

I know most people say not to do it, but I was getting UTI’s every other week. Plus the symptoms really were hard on me. I would sweat and get fevers before the UTI was bas enough to show up on tests. The Uro wanted to do a bladder augmentation, but thought we should try this first as a last resort. Since starting the daily half dose, I have had 2 UTI’s in 4 years. Greg Hi group, I read some of the posts regarding the sweating problem. I too have had this problem and ran a bunch of test. The doctors where pretty stumped. I think that I have finally figured out that it's a UTI problem. When we sit up it puts more pressure on the bladder which irritates the bladder when it's already upset from the UTI. It causes pain and then we sweat. I take a daily antibiotic for urine and have no more sweating. I may be wrong but it has helped me. Good luck and great health, Donald C5
