I am using DNS 13 with Word 2016 and Windows 10. Receiving error dialog box "Dictation is not possible or is restricted for the current window due the Dragon Add-In for MS Word not being loaded." I checked the Word 2016 add-ins by going to File>Options>Add-Ins...appears to be loaded and active... DNS worked windows 8 a couple of days ago. Upgraded to Windows 10 and I received the preceding error message.
Please help.....need to get some work done.

I enjoy the program, and it works pretty well, but sometimes when I am dictating, and then I look closely for the cursor and find it is somewhere other than where I intended it to be. I called this my "roving cursor problem" and I wonder whether anybody else is experiencing a similar thing? I will be dictating, and suddenly the cursor will be in at the beginning of the document, were somewhere other than where it's supposed be., and I will have to move the cursor to the end of the document , by voice,order to resume dictating.

I recently broke my arm (actually 11 bones altogether) so I decided to give NaturallySpeaking a try while I can't use my right arm. I just installed NaturallySpeaking professional V 15. I looked through some of the tutorials but clearly still have a lot to learn. With that I have two quick questions.
1. Is there a list of built-in voice commands and/or rules that I can access and keep handy as I'm learning the product? The one that is driving me crazy is I haven't figured out how to get the software to print a number as opposed to spelling out a number.
2. Is there a way to create custom commands and if so is there a tutorial on how to do that.
Any resources you can point me to to help me get up and running faster would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I'm aware of several ways to use fields (see below). Does anyone know of other control characters that can be embedded within a field? I'm especially interested in forcing the capitalization of whatever is dictated into the field.

Hi all when I try to start Dragon NS Home I get the error message: Can't find multimedia device. Check to see if your computer has a sound card, or if the multimedia wave-in component is missing from the sound card.
I'm using a new install of DNS home of 12 and upgraded to 12.5. I'm on the Windows 8.1 operating system.
I have integrated graphics and integrated sound card. Intel i5 core 64 bit
Really need this to work.... :(
Thanks for your help!
***UPDATE: I figured it out late last night. This is a useless error message. I installed the software and when I started the program I got the message right away and the program shutdown. So, I went chasing the sound card etc. and speakers etc. Then I decided to plug in my headset and the software worked!!!! A useful error message would have saved a lot of time. This is a new computer and was sure that something was wrong with it. Instead the Dragon could just open the software and give a message like: Please plug in your headset to continue. :)))

About a week now or more when I go to chat on Facebook with Dragon it looks like it freezes chat box, does not transfer my chat into the box. It was working fine two weeks ago or so. Has anybody else have this problem?

I have now spent over a month trying to install DNS 15 upgrade on my laptop computer.
Initially I dealt with Nuance technical support for the installation procedures.
I was told initially that I would have to install all of the Dragon NaturallySpeaking programs going back to version 11 because I had purchased upgrades. It was apparently not enough to supply the passwords, but I actually had to install the product.
Then after calling Nuance technical support and agent said he would get me a standalone password for DNS 15 so that I could avoid installing earlier versions.
In an later email response I was told that I would have to install Dragon version 13 using its serial number and then install DNS 15.
I gave up on Nuance for installation at this point and turned to Knowbrainer and Lunis who told me how to install DNS 15 without all this nonsense. It worked as he explained and on registration I had to supply my Dragon 13 password as well as my new DNS 15 password. That seemed foolproof from Nuance's point of view so why there multitude of advice about having to install earlier versions? It seems that Nuance likes to punish loyal customers who continue to buy extravagantly priced updates.
Unfortunately, my misery did not end there. After successfully installing DNS 15 I let the software upgrade the user profile it found and in doing that it crashed. Now I couldn't even open DNS 15. If I tried, with task manager open, I saw NatSpeak.exe appear briefly as a process and then disappear. I repaired the software and tried again, but the same thing happened.
So I called technical support and got someone surprisingly knowledgeable, given my past experience, had me remove user profiles to the desktop and try opening DNS 15 again It didn't work.
Then I got a subsequent email to make further changes to the registry deleting certain keys. I tried that and DNS 15 would still not open.
This is a stage I find myself at now; waiting for additional responses from Nuance.
If you ever want to explain to someone what a nightmare is then the answer is: dealing with Nuance technical support.
As an aside I note that I could not dictate this software using my workstation DNS 15 software because it apparently doesn't work with the Nuance website. So I had to dictate into notepad and cut-and-paste.
DNS 15 is a useful product when it works and given my physical limitations it is essential to me. I wish that were not so.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a hands-free (headset or lapel, not boom or stand) microphone for speech to text recognition in a noisy (e.g. a crowded gymnasium) environment?

To whom it may concern.
I just got Dragon Naturally Speaking 13 Home for my windows 10 14393.1066 Home Lenovo ideapad 310-15ISK i3 6100U CPU 2.3 Ram 6.00 GB 64bit.
I've had this or similure problems with my other compter brands, other windows 10, and other versions of windows, on other computers and other versions of dragon naturally speaking.
When I do a Windows system restore or sometimes when dragon crashes it seems the DNS user files and or DNS get corrupted. When I try to restore the users it seems the restore of the user fails, when I try to delete the DNS user profile it failed to delete or when it deletes it seems not to fully delete the DNS user files because then I try to create a new DNS user file it wants to use the same user name, if I make a new user name it seems to have some of the corruption from the main DNS user profile even if it has been deleted. So it seems the DNS user file or DNS is corrupted. Even when uninstall and reinstall DNS it still has the same problems.
At first DNS seemed pretty well, till it seems the user file gets corrupted, then I can't get it to work right again, even after trying to remove and replace the users, restore the users and/or remove and reinstall DNS.
This problem happens even on the dragon pad.
It seems the DNS user file and/or other DNS file(s) is/are hidden and corrupted even after being deleted, and corrupts new users and reinstalled DNS.
DNS opens up, the users often seem to load, but the program seems corrupt the mic input and or the sound doesn't get converted to text.
I don't have a clue, I'm largely speculating, so I need the help of someone that really knows what they are doing.
Please help.

I am a new user. I opened a google document and began to dictate. Dragon opened up the dictation box. I spent one and a half hours dictating a letter. I found the voice recognition to work quite well in the training also was very useful. When I hit transfer the dictation closed and the text was not transferred. Tech support informed me there was no way to get the text back. Using software that is designed in part for people with handicaps this in unbelievable to me. Auto saving text as a person types is not rocket science. The tech support person kept informing the Microsoft did not autosave, I don't see the relevance in this.
I guess it makes sense to dictate a little and transfer or copy a little at a time to prevent another loss of text. I hope someone at Dragon realizes the benefit of autosave and implements it soon.
I tried it again using the same google document, this time dictating a few words and clicking on transfer and it worked fine. Perhaps I did something to cause the error, regardless whenever I dictate it should save the dictation temporarily at least while I have that session of Dragon open.
Does anyone have a tip or trick on how to prevent the loss of text in the dictation box.
A very frustrated and astonished new user.

I want to use the auto text feature in the Dragon NaturallySpeaking product. Hhowever I could not find any option in the current software. I want to replace a simple word or a shortcut word into a longer phrase. For example, if I would say, "my email" it should automatically type "bhavani@nbizinfosol.com". Is that possible in the NaturallySpeaking product, please let me know.
Also, I'm struggling to get the sentences completion with the period or dot Dragon does not understand both of these and it doesn't to capitalise after the dot leaving two spaces which is very difficult cause everytime I have two dictate and go back and again capitalise the letter after the period which is very difficult. I even turned on to formatting option to

The problem I'm having with my microphone it will not stay on. It keeps on muting itself and the level keeps on going down to zero. Even though the green indicator says the mic is on, it will not start accepting my dictation until I turn it off to red and then back to green. And then it only works for a few minutes before the mic mutes itself once again and I have to repeat the process over and ovar.. I have deleted all my audio devices drivers and reinstall them yet when I use the mic once again it only last for a few minutes before the mic automatically mutes itself and the level goes down to zero. I have even tried differant headsits and they all have the same problem. I have used Dragon ever since it came out and I have never had this problem before. Under the advanced properties for the microphone I have unchecked were exclusive use box but it still does it. Just writing this post I've had to recyclable green circle off and on a number of times and has taken over a half-hour to get this post by using Dragon. Any help in this matter would be great.
