every time I login I have to reinstall this plug-in again
by Amanda H, 2024-11-20

absoluter Schrott!

Every single time I login I have to reinstall the extension. Lousy careless programming. Suspected Nuance/Microsoft are simply trying to force everybody over to the web-based dictation. yYou would expect between Google and nuance and Microsoft there would be top-notch programming in this kind of garbage would not occur. Very disappointed and sick of wasting my time
