It does not seem like Nuance can keep up with the speed of changes with Internet browsers and O365. I am simply using DNS for dictation only, and I have stopped using the control capabilities. Fortunately in my case I have that option now. I have also tried using the new dictation capabilities in O365, and I must say they worked pretty poorly on Windows, however on the iPad I found them to have a high level of accuracy.

I'm on board with what everyone has indicated.
I Have the Dragon Web Extension for Google Chrome but Won't Work for Microsoft Edge. a Train Wreck.
Presumably, It Does Not Exist.
Okay, off to Chrome.
Also on Microsoft Edge, I Cannot Indicate "Click" Very Many Links on a URL Page.
and it arbitrarily locks the And Adds Capital Letters When It Shouldn't. As You Can See…
I Was a Software Engineer/Programmer and This Is the Most Pathetic Upgrade I've Ever Seen.
I'll Stop Rambling but This Is Horrible.
I Continue to Look for Solutions.

Addendum:
I also attempted to train my voice so that I wouldn't be experiencing that 40% failure like everyone else…
It won't let me train…
It says that I have spoken enough and it knows enough.
pathetic!
Also, I added a word to the vocabulary and didn't realize the font was important. I went to change the font and there is no UPDATE capability for the word. what am I missing?
NOT certain who Nuance is Appealing to but my 20+ years is S**T!

I have used Dragon for over 16 years now, in the past four months Dragon has started to glitch not working with Microsoft Word, not working with the search engines, not working with other programs, when it does work it seems to glitch as well and not accurately transcribe about 40% of what is been said, I do not know if this is an upgrade issue, it is very frustrating and sad that the older programs seem to be working better than the new ones,
