We have Dragon Naturally Speaking 13 upgrade version & upgraded from version 9, 10, 11 on Windows 7 with office 2013. Now we plan to buy a new PC with Windows 10 (64bit) & office 2016 (32bit) and transfer existing license to this new PC. We have below question?
Topic by Imtiaz Bhatti
Version 13 is literally a downgrade on the previous versions. Looks like the DNS management are greedy people, out to make most of their monopoly hold on the dictation software products. I hope someone will come up with an alternative and bust their balls hard enough to make them feel the mental torture they have been inflicting on their customers for quite long. Unlike Versions 12 and prior, Version 13 doesn't allow direct dictation in products like OneNote and requires inputting in a Dictation Box and then transferring the text to OneNote. But the Dictation Box doesn't allow formatting the text either. You can't use bullets or use the tab key there. So you're condemned to waste your time by formatting the text again within the destination product. But even in terms of accuracy, Version 13 is in no way an improvement on the previous version. For every minute I waste negotiating with the Dictation Box and other idiosyncrasies built in Version 13, I feel like cursing these sadists!

I want to install DNS 13 on a new hybrid tablet like the Asus Transformer or Toshiba Satellite but no one at Nuance can tell me if it will even load, let alone run. The OS is Win8.1 which is ok but the CPU's on tablets are 1.2-1.8Ghz and Tech Support(?) couldn't tell me if the installer would even get past that since DNS wants 2.2GHz.
Does anyone have DNS sucessfully running on a newer tablet?
Having read of all the problems with Flash, browsers, mics, sleep mode, etc., I'm not sure that I'm even willing to go through the hassles after an install. 
Thanks

I have just installed and trained Dragron NaturallySpeaking 12.5 on Windows 8.
The next time I tried to start Dragon I got this error:
>>>>>
Dragron NaturallySpeaking
Cannot access user profile
'C:\ProgramData\Nuance\NaturallySpeaking12\Users\Terry Clancy'. which is
locked by another Windows login session

Now I cannot use Dragon.
Are you able to help me overcome this problem please ?
Thanks

Hi! I purchased Dragon NaturallySpeaking Premium 11.5 this week, and so far, I love it! (In fact, I love it so much, I got my employer to buy me a license for Professional for my work computer!) I understand that the software license is per user, and I would like to use it on my desktop computer (Win 7 32-bit) and my laptop (Win Vista Blech). The desktop activation was succesful, but when I try to activate it on the laptop, the Activation window with my serial number keeps popping up.
First, I get the dialog that asks if I want to activate now or later, plus the number of uses I have left without activating. I click Activate Now.
Then I get a dialog asking if I want to activate automatically or manually. I click Automatically.
Next, I'm asked to enter my new serial number. It's already entered, so I click OK.
Windows says it needs my permission to continue, so I tell it to go ahead.
This is when the "Enter your serial number" dialog returns. I'm now stuck in a loop -- give Windows permission followed by this dialog.
How can I get past this?
Thanks!

I'm having a problem on my laptop. I'm running Windows 10, Dragon 13 Premium, and I've just started editing files for work. The files are in Microsoft Word format, saved as doc files. I use open office at home. I get the "Please say that again" message every time when trying to dictate into them. But if I save the same file in RTF format, and dictate the exact same thing, it works fine. Or if I dictate into the DragonPad. Or pretty much any other app except these files. So, I know it's not a problem with Dragon hearing me. I've tried dictating just a single word, or an entire phrase, into one of these files, and then into multiple other apps. It simply can't be dictated into my file. And this is a file I need to do for work. I need to do five or six of these files per day.
At this point, I'm cutting and pasting into the files, but due to repetitive strain injury, I can't continue this way.

Hello, we are using DNS v12 and v13 in our enterprise, along with Symantec Endpoint Protection...Topic by Dennis DUBOIS
Bug: Track Changes is momentarily activated in Microsoft Word 2013 when I dictate Open Quote or Close Quote. The quotation marks end up as tracked edits, but not the words between them. The Track Changes feature is turned off when this happens. (Image attached below shows what I get when I try to dictate "Leading" .)
Different bug when Track Changes is turned on: The insertion point moves to the left of the opening quotation mark after I dictate Open Quote. The words I dictate, that are supposed to appear between the quotation marks, instead appear outside of quotes, followed by an empty pair of quotes. Example:
He said, No.” “
Instead of the desired:
He said, "No."

Has anyone had an issue with Dragon shutting down any time you try to change the Hot Keys in Tools/Options/Hot Keys? If so, how can I stop this so that I can change the Hot Keys?
Thank you!
Topic by Ian Knuckey
I have just upgraded to the new version 14 of Dragon Professional - Individual. I have noticed a significant time-lag (anywhere between 5 - 40 seconds) when I swap from one document in which I am dicatating to another. This occurs regardless of whether the hot key is on / off / asleep.
I have turned program off, and computer off but it keeps happening.
It was getting to the stage where it was easier to just turn off Dragon - so thought I would see what other have to say.

Hello. I know we are supposed to use the dictation box in Citrix, but when I do, Dragon 12.5 freezes. Does anyone have a solution to this?
Thank you.

Where is the Android Recorder product?Topic by Carolina Garrido
Hi. I am a translator and I need to use Dragon both in English and Spanish. Does that mean I have to buy both versions? If so, can I install two different versions in my PC without trouble_

Hi,
I am only using Dragon to dictate my emails in Outlook, does version 13 offer any performance benefits or other features I might find useful?
Thanks for your help.

I am getting the above captioned error message when I try to open the one profile I have created in Dragon. The user is an admin on my Windows 7 and there are no other applications active.
I must say that, so far, this is the most user unfriendly program I have used in years.
Help!

DON'T KNOW ENOUGH ABOUT COMPUTING TO KNOW HOW TO HANDLE MY PROBLEM EITHER OR HOW TO OPEN A THREAD ETC. all I know is I have Dragon premium 13 and Excel 2013 and cannot get my Dragon to work within Excel. This is so frustrating for me because Dragon is a necessity not a luxury. And I have spent far too much money to be going through this problem. When I tried to dictate in Excel, I get an error message: "Dictation is not possible or is corrupted for the current window due to the current Dragon add in for 'MS Excel' not being loaded." I then tried to apply a fix for this error message using Dragon help. Resulting in running the following command:
regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\x86)\Nuance\NaturallySpeaking13\Program\dgnexcel.dll". When I completed this I received the following additional error message:
The module “C:\Program Files (see x86)\Nuance\Naturally Speaking 13\Pr…\dgnexcel.dll” was loaded but the call to DllRegisterServer failed with error code 0x80070005.
If someone could please help me I would greatly appreciate it… Lost in Ohio.

In previous versions of Dragon Naturally Speaking, when I transcribed files from a recording device, Dragon would insert the auto-text phrases I had set up in the command browser/auto text area. I purchased the Professional Individual product, and Dragon recognizes and transcribes my auto-text phrases when I dictate directly into the computer. It is not recognizing and transcribing auto-text phrases in a file downloaded from the same recording device I had previously used to transcribe files. Dragon types my short code word but not the auto-text phrase. I need to be able to dictate into my recording device and have Dragon recognize and transcribe the auto-text phrases. How do I get that to happen with Dragon Professional Individual?

I hope everyone is taking the survey that's offered because it surely will help the product. I have been having a rough time with Dragon the last couple of days. It seems to forgotten everything. I think I'm going to have to repair it again. I'm tired of repairing it. It needs to work properly on an ongoing basis. It spells what it wants to spell and it forgets my commands. If it was a boyfriend I would throw it out in the cold. But I'm stuck with it and I'm trying to make the best of it. Every day I pressed the button to see if there's an update and every day I'm disappointed. I am having to tame this Dragon and beat it into submission
oh well it's time to go write a story now

7/31/14 -- When I was using DNS 12.51, I could dictate a subject line in a Thunderbird email and merely say "cap that" to capitalize the last phrase I spoke. This command no longer works in Thunderbird outside of a dictation box. I get "That" instead. I tried to enforce the command by pressing the control button, but I get a "Please say that again" box and no response.
When I dictate the body of my email messages I always use the dictation box to improve accuracy. But when I dictate 25+ emails per day I enjoyed the convenience of dictating the subject line without having to use the dictation box.
7/31/14 -- The problem does not exist in DragonPad, that is, the command "cap that" does capitalize the last phrase dictated. The problem also does not exist in the dictation box.
The command works in Microsoft Word 2010, Quicken 2014, Acrobat Pro 9, Microsoft Notepad, and Windows Explorer. BUT I have encountered the problem in Thunderbird, Windows Explorer search, Microsoft Access 2010, and in Microsoft Excel 2010. Obviously, this is an extensive problem. The command worked perfectly in all of these programs in version 12.51.
None of the "that" commands work in these programs unless I am dictating in a dictation box. In version 12.51, the "that" commands worked outside of a dictation box.
8/8/14 -- this is the response I received from tech-support today: " We do apologize for the inconvenience you were having with our software. It appears to be that Thunderbird is not supported by Dragon NaturallySpeaking 13 nor Dragon NaturallySpeaking 12."
I have been a Dragon NaturallySpeaking user since version 3.0 in 1998 when Lernout & Hauspie owned the program. I have dutifully upgraded every time a new version has come out, and I never expected to lose any functionality when I promptly paid $99 for version 13. Nuance needs to address this issue.
If you are having the same problem please post!
