2025-01-14	Alex	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.
2025-01-01	Bruce	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!
2024-12-26	KELLEY	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,
2024-12-20	Melvin	darren, I agree with you 100%. Dragon is misinterpreting me about 40%. I have to repeat when I am saying before it understands.
2024-12-06	darren	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.
2024-11-04	Mary	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
2024-08-29	Maxwell,	I am a disabled Dragon user and am extremely frustrated with the lack of compatibility in both Edge and the new Outlook 365 UX. I love the new look and feel of Outlook, but have to constantly use the dictation box and cannot useany voice commands for email management. I had to revert back to the 2019 style interface just to delete messages by voice. Please work together to improve interoperability!
2024-07-30	Vianey	I agree with Michael, I use programs for appraisal, construction and home Inspections in the passed your program worked great for me. However, something has changed, and now it screws up my programs every time I try to use it; total waste of money. I should have just kept the old version.
2024-06-21	Stephan	Das Programm überzeugt nicht. Die Handhabung ist nicht selbstredend und die Transcription zu ungenau. Selbst gängige Rechtsbegriffe sind dem Programm unbekannt.
2024-06-11	Michael	I have been using Dragon NaturallySpeaking for over 15 years and it's been my best friend in business. I have faithfully upgraded with each new version and I have even purchased the Nuance Microphone 4, among many other Nuance suggested microphones. I have been a faithful user but you guys have not kept up your end of the bargain. Sometimes Dragon works with Chrome and Edge, and other times something changes and it suddenly doesn't. I would really like someone to explain why you can make such a good voice recognition product, but failed to create a usable interface with standard business applications. I honestly feel like you owe us an explanation. For the first time in 15 years, I will now start looking for an alternative to Dragon NaturallySpeaking. This breaks my heart. Shame on you!!!
