User reviews
darren, I agree with you 100%. Dragon is misinterpreting me about 40%. I have to repeat when I am saying before it understands.
I let them talk me into upgrading to v16 with promises of better compatibility with Windows 11, but the upgraded version works worse than my previous version. It's still completely slows down my desktop and crashes the whole system at least once a day. Very disappointing. I certainly would not recommend upgrading, and there has to be a better voice to text program out there.
Why oh why can I not get Dragon to work with any search engine I use? It used to work great with almost everything, and then, it was hit or miss. Now, it works with absolutely nothing. I'm a quadriplegic and I use this software to allow myself to be more independent and proficient while using a computer, however, now I find myself typing more and more, because Dragon is not effective anymore. Nuance, as a company, has dropped the ball and has left those of us that rely on your software to make our lives easier because we are disabled, has added to the complications of our everyday lives, in that we can't do our jobs in a timely manner anymore because it is taking 2 to 3 times longer to complete a simple task by not being able to use add-ons for Internet searching, as well with other programs that we deem necessary to be productive in our daily lives. Please, please, please… Figure out what is wrong with your software and fix it. Many of us would appreciate your cooperation
