Delete dictation source in DNS 12 (9 Comments)

Topic by John Stroman

DNS 12 on Win 7 in English. Full installation.

When I first set up my user profile I had just purchased a new wireless headset and chose the wrong dictation source (USB, should have been Bluetooth). The USB option would not connect, so I added Bluetooth and things worked fine. Next day my profile has defaulted to USB and wants me to undergo training with a USB dictation source, but I have no USB microphone, so I want to delete that option from my profile.

I tried the "manage user profile" options, but could not find a way to delete the dictation source.

Do I have to delete the whole user profile and start over?

DNS CPU Usage with Microphone Off

Topic by Bill Treloar

Dragon 14 is using 15-25% of my CPU with the microphone off. Is that normal? It seems like an awful lot of CPU time if it's not even waiting for me to say "Wake Up". If it's not normal, how do I fix it?

Please see the attached file. How do I set my default microphone to xtag? Also, Dragon asked me to run through the microphone set up every time I open Dragon. How can I bypass this step?

Topic by James Reiley

I am a new user of Dragon.  I have a new computer and have installed Office 2016 and Dragon 13.  When I attempt to use Dragon in MS Word, it appears to try to be selecting something from a taskbar rather than recording my words in a blank open document.  It also indicates a need for a driver.  Are these two products ready to work together?  Where do I find the driver referred to?

Hi!

Dragon will not recognize "go to end of sentence" as a command.  How can I help it do so?

When using Word I can use the bold feature, but I do not see how to turn it off, like with "Caps off".  The subsequent dictation is in bold.  I have tried various iterations, but no luck.  Thank you.

I am trying to download Dragon Professional Individual, having paid for the product, and cannot download the product from the link provided in the "Product Now Available" email. All I get is an HTTP 403 Forbidden message. Same when I try to download from the Nuance site. Over a hundred dollars and no product. Now what?


Error msg in Win Logbook re: 'DNS logging'

Topic by Bernard Terlouw

In my Win Logbooks (WIN10 64bit Dutch) MANY errors show referring to a DNS error.
It has taken me some time (...) to guess that 'DNS' could refer to Dragon Naturally Speaking. :-(
I am using DNS Premium 13 Netherlands (13.00.000.527)

The error-msg is (In Dutch - this is English equivalent):

"The description for Event ID 0 from source DNS logging cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.
If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.
The following information was included with the event:
Logger:
Socket error: 10054"

1. Does this msg indeed refer to the Dragon Logger Service? (I think so :-))

2. I have DISABLED the Logger Service to stop the error messages.
What functionality did I disable? Could this become a problem?

Thank you,

Bernard

 

Dreaded Black Screen on Chrome (2 Comments)

Topic by Matt Young

I see a number of other comments regarding various incompatibilities with Chrome; I think my Dragon 13 Home has begun causing the dreaded Black Screen of Death on Chrome. Win 10, latest version of Chrome. If I merely open Dragon, then open Chrome, Chrome consistently shows the black screen. Close Dragon, close Chrome, and Chrome opens normally. What to do, besides going over to Firefox?

Using xlr mics with usb interface - How? (1 Comment)

Topic by MARK WRIGHT

Just bought DNS 13. I have a usb-pre 2.0 which converts an analog signal into digital.

When I create a new user, my usb-pre shows up in the "Choose an Audio device" choices.

I select it, click next.

It displays the message "There is a problem with the microphone. Please check that it is plugged in."

I know that the device is working because it will come up fine in Adobe Audition.

DNS has a very restrictive interface that makes you jump through the hoops of training a mic. So here I sit. 

Any Ideas?

Text and graphic commands for URLs or keyboard shortcuts

Topic by Jena Cooper

I'm using version 13 premium in conjunction with macro express to run more complex macros. I'm trying to figure out how to create custom commands such as URL links or keyboard combinations/keyboard shortcuts such as <control>4 or ALT+Shift+7

when I enter that text (ALT+Shift+7), then assign a phrase as a trigger word, Dragon types literally ALTSHIFT7. I'm trying to figure out how to get Dragon to press the alt key + shift key + 7 key when I say my trigger word.

Thanks for any help

 

Thanks in advance

DNS14 and Microsoft Skype Chat (1 Comment)

Topic by Rick Early

I had seen other threads with users confirming DNS13 would fail as soon as you clicked the chat window.  DNS14 was reported to have it working.  I installed DNS14 and it is generally working but once it loses focus you have to manually work to get focus back.  Image you're broadcasting training slideshows and I want to continuously dictate into the chat window (closed captioning).  Any user tips or tricks to get focus to stay in the chat window?

Recognition slow in spelling mode

Topic by Christian Bayerlein

Hi,

coming from DNS 10, I upgradet to DPI 14.

However, I experience a latency in recognition compared to DNS 10. The recognition is just not as responsive as it was with DNS 10. I experience that especially when I dictate a long string of letters in "command and spelling" mode - which I do a lot, i. e. for programming (I'm a web developer) or typing English texts (I use Dragon in German).

With DNS10, I always get an immediate response to the dictation, no matter how many letters I dictate in one go: as soon as I stop dictating, the text is on the screen. With DPI 14, I have to wait until the recognition is finished, which can sometimes take up to several seconds. That doesn't sound too bad, but believe me, when you are used to spelling very fast, that can be very annoying.

I noticed that latency is also a bit worse with commands, but that's only a matter of half a second or so.

This seems to be an issue of the German version.

I have the suspicion, that the reason behind the issue is that there are a lot more ways to do the spelling now. I come from DNS 10, where you could basically use only the German radio alphabet. With newer versions, you can also use the NATO alphabet and say things like "weh" to get a w, or even "w wie Wilhelm". With all these possibilities, there is a more to process, I guess.

In DNS 10 I always used the spelling mode to speed things up, but that is useless in newer versions.


Delete unwanted commands (1 Comment)

Topic by Ron Paschke

I understand that there is currently no way to delete built-in commands. This limitation needs to be corrected. A number of times I have been in the middle of dictating a sentence in Outlook like: 'In the email sent…', only to find that DNS interprets this as a command to send my half-written email. This is both embarrassing and unprofessional!

To avoid a repeat of this, I need to delete all voice commands which might inadvertently send an email. I prefer [Alt]+[s]. It is quicker and far safer.

Cannot find and install updates ("Agent has failed to install properly") (1 Comment)

Topic by Andrew Berk

I am trying to check for updates to Dragon 14 (Professional Individual, current version is 14.00.000.180) using the "Check for Updates" option in the menu from the toolbar icon in the lower right.  However, each time I try, I get the following error message:

 

"The Agent has failed to install properly.  In order for the Agent to properly install, you must be an administrator on your computer and you must be using your browsers default security settings. Press OK to try again to Show Updates through the Agent.  Press Cancel to continue without the Agent.  If you choose to proceed without the Agent, you will not be able to see some updates." 

 

I have tried all the suggestions I found online for this error, and some others which seemed logical:

- Making sure the FLEXnet Connect Agent was running (and that it was being launched as administrator)

- Turning off anti-virus and firewall software

- Making sure the relevant services were running (I think so)

- Tried repairing the install from the DVD, but it didn't give me a Repair option.  I did go through the install process again (without installing the original), and still got the same error.

- Restarting both Dragon and the computer repeatedly between these steps

- Searching the Nuance site for updates to download manually.  Could not find any.

- Clicking cancel on the popup menu and clicking on the "New updates & messages" link in the upper right of the software manager.  "The Software Manager did not find any available updates for this product."

 

 

I know that there are updates I need to install, because the copy on my work computer did successfully update.  Any more thoughts?

 

Work for programmers/developers (i.e. let me speak SQL (or java) statements and type them correctly)

Work for programmers (i.e. let me speak SQL statements and type them correctly)... SQL is pretty straightforward to speak out loud and type mostly what I'm saying.  

 

Now Java would be a little trickier.  Unless I'm actually going to speak out all the curly braces and parens which would be annoying.   But I'm sure Dragon could have a programming mode where I can do things like say if [variable name] equals [value] than call [MyCoolFunction] passing it [variable1] and [variable2] ...  So in order to work very well you would probably need to integrate with eclipse (an integrated development environment/IDE) because you would need to have access to all the variable and function names so you would know what I am trying to call.

however if you can make a version of your product for programmers like you do for doctors and lawyers then you will be opening yourself up to a huge new market of people.  Being able to program with my voice would be insanely great.  I would totally pay a much higher price for software that could do that
