en | Rapidly losing faith in what USED to be very good software in my 13 years experience. Now using Ver. 15 and developing increasing problems. Of course they got rid of the personal version and want me to pay over $500 for the latest-not-greatest. The extension has always had problems, now frequently asking if I want to restore it in Chrome...then sometimes works and others not...I just restored it and not working at all. |

en | I paid full price a year and half ago for Dragon 15 - $500. No disk available - had to be a download. Then my laptop got stolen in an armed robbery. Because they no longer have the files available for download, I had hells own mission getting the software back that I paid for. Rubbish company. Last software I will ever buy from Nuance if they don't have a major attitude change. |

fr | Oui, c'est super pénible cette extension qui se désactive sans arrêt. C'est sûr que Nuance pourrait faire mieux, beaucoup mieux. Il y a des années que j'utilise Dragon et je ne vois pas des progrès énormes dans le logiciel. Ce sont surtout les ordinateurs qui ont évolué et qui permettent de meilleurs résultats, mais pas le logiciel. Toujours la même interface, des commandes de correction qui ne s'améliorent pas, etc. Et pourtant on passe à la caisse ! Et même pour une mise à jour. |

en | This review concerns this app, not Dragon alone. NB. The most important point comes at the end of this review. The company's response to the problem, even though there is usually no response and even though there is certainly never any response from anyone to these online comments, seems that we are to buy the new update. I wonder how many of us in the throes of the present economic mess in the UK can afford hundreds of pounds primarily, it seems, to fix this software, especially when this app is known not to fix anything at all...?! I've never known any company to charge such a huge amount, if anything, for updating software which we've already bought. NB: After months of reinstalling this app every day and more than once every day on switching off the laptop, I found myself in a position with little option but to budget accordingly. I bought the new upgrade, only to find that I have still had to reinstall this app every time I close the computer. Plus, foolishly, I had hoped that the new upgrade together with this app might just conceivably enable voice recognition to work not merely on Microsoft Excel, but on Access. It doesn't. And aside from Microsoft's own products, Dragon appears not to work on some necessary applications anyway. Two important points that I hope will help others: After paying for the new version of Dragon, I'm still having to uninstall and re-instalI the extension here every time that I re-open Chrome. I've no idea how to stop it happening. So, even after paying the exorbitant amount for the Dragon upgrade, the problem with constantly uninstalling and reinstalling this extension continues. And even then, it doesn't work on many websites, particularly in my specific field of work. I wonder if the problem is merely that this app which we've all been trying here is out of date. The Dragon professional medical version has been updated much more recently! At least that app has been updated even if this one here has not. I'm not at all sure it's just the app which is the problem. Perhaps Dragon itself is failing its clients = us. The main reason for paying for the upgrade is surely that before long, technical support will again be removed from the previous version of Dragon and there will again be no more automatic updates. That happened to us with the penultimate upgrade just a few years ago. Be warned: we may expect the company to do the same again. |

en | It has to be one of the most fruustrating pieces of software that I have on my computer, it Should make my life easier but I spend more time adapting and correcting my work than I do using Dragon programme to type it for me. Getting any sort of support from Nuance is like getting blood from a stone, I can't even log into my account anymore as it fails to recognise my serial number. But strangely, I can download an update their website but I can't insstall it. I can spend hours tryinng to sort out these ridiculous problems Which is unacceptableespecially when you consider the cost of the programme in the first place. I haven't corrected this writing you can see the mistakes that it makes |

en | Indeed, I have been on DNS version 3 to version 12 which works perfectly. And then Nuance decided to be clever and said we didn't need to do training anymore and Dragon will still be able to transcribe. The reality is that transcription accuracy dropped tremendously and no amount of training increases the accuracy as Dragon simply refuses to learn. Simple words like "She" remains "he" no matter how many times you try to train it, and likewise tons of other words. Also, it cannot transcribe alphabets which are instead transcribed as words that sound like the alphabet. Additionally, the earlier versions have a good selection of choices of similar sounding words which means I almost always have the correct word available in one of the choices. But now, the choices offered are restrictive and almost never have what I have dictated. The earlier versions also understand that we sometimes do not enunciate our words well so there are missing end consonants. Version 15 is not intelligent enough to decipher that. So unless I am deeply precise in enunciating the words, my dictation simply cannot be transcribed. So while I used to achieve 98% accuracy, now with version 15 my accuracy level is sometimes as bad as 30%, which is as good as not being able to dictate at all since I spend all my time making corrections as I am unable to do any finger typing at all. Similarly too I had also hoped that with the acquisition by Microsoft, with new funds being injected, things would change. But seems like nothing has. I am seriously considering version 16, but it appears that the reviews are also saying that it doesn't work. I really don't know what has gone wrong. How can such a great software end up in such an appalling state? Does anyone know if there is an alternative software that can work as well as the earlier versions of Dragon? |
