Ich ärgere mich jeden Morgen aufs neue! Das Plugin in funktioniert nicht und ich muss erst WordPad oder ein Tool von Dragon öffnen, um dann mit Kopieren per ist aufwendig die Texte zu transferieren. Ich weiß nicht was daran für die Profi-Nerds so schwer ist zu programmieren dass es reibungslos funktioniert... Das ist wirklich wirklich schlecht!

Die Dragon Weberweiterung ist leider eine Katastrophe geworden. So wie man die Software im Chrome Browser nutzen möchte, reagiert sie überhaupt nicht. Auch die Installation der neusten Visual C++ Redistributables hat leider nichts genutzt. Sehr schade.

I, too, gave up using Word / Outlook and Google using Dragon - However, I now have the Dragon 16 Pro and that works without crashing anything. Looking at the other negative reviews, I will add that customer services have always been super helpful and also if you have lost a disk - there is a download site (https://download.nuance.com/) - It could not be simpler.
