Dragon Naturally Speaking 11
I had been running DNS-11 on XP for a few years. I hadn't used it much
because its main use was in Word using tables where it became tortuous. I am now using simple paragraphs and decided t install it in Win-10. I exported my profile from XP and imported today into Win-10. In win-10 it behaved appallingly. Slow, no little prompt symbol and no coherent recognition. I would have expected it behave as in XP, given that the profiles were identical. I am going to have to use XP for yet another application that doesn't work in Win-10. If anybody ha anything constructed to offer other than an extension to my rant, please feel free.

Alan Turn off Cortana. And remember, that Microsoft has already committed one sin. There are four versions of Win10, and on one of them, they added "frame serving" to webcams. This means a webcam camera can serve frames to two applications at the same time. Since webcams also have sound, it implies the potential for frame serving of sound as well. Now, just imagine, for the sake of argument, they added that feature to the sound system. Cortana sucking your speech into the Cloud to detect "Hey Cortana". And at the same time, Dragon Natural Speaking thinking it has exclusive usage of the microphone. Experiments you can try: 1) Unplug the network cable, reboot, test Dragon Natural Speaking 11. 2) Turn off Cortana, reboot, do your test. Because Microsoft has implemented this "snooping" idea into the OS design, now it means we have to add extra debug steps to figure stuff out. "Fix Webcam Issues in Windows 10 Anniversary Update by Disabling Frame Server Mode" http://www.winhelponline.com/blog/we...yuys-standard/ # On a 64 bit system, this covers the 64 bit part. # On a 32 bit system, this covers the 32 bit part. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Media Foundation\Platform EnableFrameServerMode DWORD 0 # On a 64 bit system, add this one as well, as it covers the 32 bit part $ [best guess on my part...] HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\ Windows Media Foundation\Platform EnableFrameServerMode DWORD 0 ******* And I just found another one for you to try. This is more likely to be it. "Microphone / Voice sounds low and distorted after upgrading to Windows 10" http://feedback.screencast-o-matic.c...rticles/693249 "1. Right click on the Sound icon on your bottom right. 2. Click on Recording devices 3. Right click on the microphone. 4. Click on the Properties 5. Click on Enhancements tab ---- Um, yeah... 6. Check the 'Disable' box inside the box. 7. Click 'Ok' " HTH, Paul |

I doubt you could understand if multiple people spoke to you at the same time. Sites more focused on Nuance products: https://www.nuance.com/about-us/contact-us.html http://nuance.custhelp.com/ http://nuance-community.custhelp.com/pages/home I did not see "Dragon Naturally Speaking" as a forum or listed at their web site as a currently available product. I did see Dragon Anywhere. Looks like "Naturally Speaking" got dropped from the product title to become listed as "Anywhere", "Home", "Premium", and "Professional". Yet https://www.nuance.com/dragon/dragon...e-edition.html shows "Naturally Speaking" on the box cover. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon_NaturallySpeaking, DNS 11 did not list Windows 8 or 10 as supported. Windows 8 support wasn't added until DNS 12. Windows 10 support wasn't added until DNS 13. |

I have been using Dragon NaturallySpeaking for at least 15 years, for dictation and automation (voice-activated scripting/macroing). Currently using version 13, but have used prior versions in Windows 10. No problem. I believe the common advice is to make a new profile. You should be able to import a custom vocabulary without problem. But you should make a new profile. Not sure if it matters if you are not using the third-party scripting aids, but during set up you might also try Advanced options and change the "Bestmatch" setting down from V to IV. Those of us who use the third-party scripting utilities get lag if we do not do that. Also, make sure you have installed any updates from whoever owns NaturallySpeaking nowadays. Also, be sure to install DNS browser add-ons. Proper functioning of those has helped greatly in my browsers. Try that stuff first, then try upgrading to version 13 or higher. Anybody who is capable of using DNS for dictation should DEFINITELY look into using it for scripting. Speech activated scripting is AMAZING. And I'm not talking about the Advanced version rendition of scripting. I am talking about the third-party utilities that we use, as seen on the VoiceCoder Yahoo page. |
