Feature Request: British English dates (1 Comment)

Topic by John Nixon

The following was originally posted by Ian Pettifer Nov 23rd 2012 in a comment in the thread called Dates and dictation. I have exactly the same problem and strongly request that you bring the British English version of Dragon Dictate in line with British English practice.

Obviously this is not aimed at fellow forum users but at Nuance staff.

 

In modern business use in the UK, we typically give dates in the following format:
7th January 2012
12th February 2013

The letters "th" are in superscript in the examples.

I seem unable to persuade the software to allow the dates in this format, and it adds the word "of" or removes the letters "th", even when I have dictated each word individually, and each has been recognised individually. Can you help please?

The autoformatting options do not appear to support this date format, although it is the correct format in British English, and selecting the top option leads to the problem above.

I just got done migrating a DNS 13 installation from a Windows 7 machine to a Windows 10 model.  Every time I start it, I get a message telling me that the profile was created on a single-core processor machine and that I need to Launch accuracy tuning.  Accuracy tuning tells me that it doesn't need to be run.  The message is either incomplete or whoever wrote the message never tested the recommended course of action.  I just want to get rid of this message and be sure that the profile is optimized.  Can anybody help?

New, Need Custom Command help PLS, DNS Pro 15

Topic by Bluevelvyt

Hello,

 

Used DNS years back, when I first became disabled, recently having difficulty using my arms and hands.

Upgraded to DNS Pro 15 this week

I am a gamer, looking to emulate key strokes in game.

A tricky situation has come up and I am unaware of how to resolve it with DNS.

I need to depress a key, or  and keep it depressed until I want to un-depress it, something akin to "key down, delay, key up"

I am also looking for any information on the best site or resources(s) for using DNS, whether that be a dummies book, a scripting site or what have you.

Any advice would be helpful at this point. I am researching on my own as well, just hoping to get some help from those who are already "in the know"

 

Thanks in advance

Cannot activate microphone for a profile (4 Comments)

Topic by Michael Hitchins

Hi

 

A client of mine has your software and had recently upgraded the firmware on a USB microphone and now he can't use it with the usual profile he uses. I don't seem to be able to do anything to change it or fix it, the names appear to be the same but the microphone button never goes clickable.

 

How can I correct this for him? It appears the program doesn't allow you to set microphones which seems like a massive limitation for a program designed to be used with microphones...

Dictating orTranscribing in European Portuguese with Dragon Naturally Speaking Professional 15

Topic by Sofia Ferros

Can I dictate in European Portuguese into Word, Scrivener or another writing program with Dragon Naturally Speaking Professional 15 for PC?

On setup there's no option for this, just different regions of English.

The Dragon Dictate iphone app works very well in European Portuguese but only allows 60 seconds recording at a time and doesn't allow for offline recording and later transcribing. Is there a way to upload the Portuguese language file of the iphone app into Dragon Naturally Speaking Professional 15 PC? I only need to use Portuguese in a writing program like Scrivener or Word. I don't need it in all the other functions.

If not, how do I request this feature? (The request this feature page is not working and redirects to the forums.)

Any other ideas on how to dictate in Portuguese without having to stop every 60 sec would be highly appreciated.

Thanks

Is there any other way to enable voice recognition?

The word "will" keeps randomly popping up during dictation and pauses (6 Comments)

Topic by Gary Martin

I used Dragon Premium 12. I have it installed on a laptop with Windows 7, with an i7 processor and plenty of RAM. The microphone I use is the one that was in the box with the software.  For some unknown reason, a month or so ago the software started randomly inserting the word "will" into the text.  It normally only happens when I stop talking and have taken a pause, but the mic is still on.  However, I think I have also seen it insert "will" even when I'm speaking, but I'm not sure of that.  I'm not coughing, sneezing or doing anything that would make noise that the mic would pick up. I can't figure out why it's doing this.  Most of the time it happens I'm dictating an e-mail in Eudora 7, or in Word 2003 or 2010.  Any ideas what's causing this and how to stop it from doing this?  Thanks.

If I make a mistake training something, Dragon automatically saves the profile. How do you exit the profile without saving (or turn off the auto-saving)?

Apparently Nuance is great at taking your money but not supporting their product, answering their own forum, or providing any service at all!! THEY'RE NOT EVEN INTERESTED ENOUGH TO MAKE SURE THEY'RE MONITORING THEIR OWN FORUM!!

 

I've spent hours on the phone with their support people whose advice was BE PATIENT!!

 

I've ended up increasing my RAM in an effort to get version 12 to work based on their direction and it still doesn't work and they are truly IDIOTS!! It cost me $269 to upgrade things in an effort to get this to work!!

 

I've had it and I'm glad I've read all the frustrations and failed attempts of others here so I can get a refund.

 

NEVER AGAIN!!

My cursor randomly jumps around in Word (8 Comments)

Topic by IRA TURNER

I started out with DNS 12 on two Windows 7 system and 1 Windows 8.1.  DNS automatically upgraded to version 12.5.  I just bought and installed 13.  I use DNS to dictate legal documents.  These are very complex, and I must be very specific.  Every word counts and typos are frowned upon.

98% of my work is dictating to Microsoft office professional plus 2010.  Specifically, Word.

Unfortunately, I have a very consistent problem the prevails across my various systems and versions. My cursor will lose focus and jump randomly above or below where I am dictating.  It is not always possible to catch it.  I have seen that others have similar problems.  How do we fix this?

Is enormously frustrating, and sometimes pretty anti-productive.

I have tried a variety of microphones, and other configurations.  Generally, the equipment that I am using seems pretty good.  The real problem is the cursor jumping around.

Topic by T H

Just today I received a Google Chrome popup telling me that my NaturallySpeaking extension has been permanently disabled by Chrome and attempts to re-enable it are unsuccessful.  Further, it seems that Google Chrome will not allow extensions to be used that do not appear in their "Extensions store" For a discussion of this problem see:

https://productforums.google.com/forum/?utm_campaign=2811969_hl_en_c_s2&utm_source=0&utm_medium=1#!topic/chrome/2yTVWdfC4Gg%5B1-25-false%5D

Is there a workaround for this? This seems crazy.

I'm using Chrome v35 on Windows 7 x64 and NaturallySpeaking 12.5

Any help is appreciated.

Unhappy With Dragon Version 15

Topic by MO75

I updated from Dragon Naturally Speaking version 13 to Dragon Professional Individual 15 about a month ago. Version 13 worked fairly well, but the promise of the new “Deep Learning” engine made me hopeful that my dictation experience would be even better. So far this is not the case. Although I imported my user profile from v.13, the new version still is not recognizing words I trained in v.13, and training in v.15 seems not to be any easier, at least for certain terms. In addition, saving a document in v.15 seems to take a lot longer that v.13, even though the settings are the same. I am a compulsive saver, doing so at least once per paragraph. This has slowed me down quite a bit. After every two or three uses of the application, Dragon asks if I want to run the accuracy optimizer, which I usually do. This takes between one to two hours, but the next time I use Dragon I don’t notice any improvement. 

 

I’m wondering what others’ experiences of this product have been. Thank you for your interest.

Problems Using Dragon Professional Individual version 15 (18 Comments)

Topic by William Spaulding

  • There are numerous problems with the new Dragon Professional Individual version 15. When you say “cap selection”, it capitalizes all of the words, including conjunctions, such as "and". Version 14 does a better job because it leaves minor words uncapped.

  • When typing a word in the Vocabulary Editor, the editor box does not show matching words, so it is difficult to see if the word was already added.

  • Sometimes, when you say something, it does not do anything nor does it give any indication that it is doing anything.

  • The auto transcription feature would be much more useful if there was an option to direct the output to a single file, or even to DragonPad. Also, it serves no useful purpose to copy the sound files along with the text to the destination folder.
  • I use a Sony voice recorder as my main input and I use its Sound Organizer software. It has a button to use Dragon NaturallySpeaking to transcribe the audio files. It temporarily saves the sound files on my PC in .WAV format. It works very well with DNS 14, but when I try to use it with DNS 15, it gives me this error message: “The format of the file 000.wav it is invalid. Note: The sampling rate must be at least 16 kHz." Furthermore, the sampling rate, as indicated by Windows 10 file Explorer, is 176 kHz, which was much more than adequate. I also have no problem playing the file, even using other software, such as Windows 10 Groove Music. So there must be some error in your new version of DNS that is preventing this from operating properly. As I have said, I had no problem using it in Dragon Professional Individual 14.

(the profile was made with this version because it is the only one they have)
I attempt to run the upgrade user profile wizard and it fails: "error: none of the topics is upgradable"

The problem:  

When I use Dragon to dictate text directly into MS Word (w/o using the Dictation box) , the text is red color, italicized (and red underline), with a green highlight background (see image below).

Does anyone know how to just make Dragon enter text that is simple black text on a white background without any obvious formats?

I'm not sure if the settings for this are to be changed in Dragon or Microsoft Word.
 
Any help from anybody would be greatly appreciated!

 

What I use:

Dragon Premium 12.5 (service pack seems to be installed)

Windows 7 Home Premium

MS office home and student 2010

Topic by greg brown

Can anyone, please, help me find a User Guide for DNS v.15 Professional Individual? I have found guides for other versions, e.g. 13 but none for 15. Searching the available Forums and Support pages produces no results. Perhaps, I just can't find the right search phrase? Thanks in advance for any help.
