I am having the same issues as others below me with the newer version of Dragon and the extension not working at all. What's up Dragon? You guys Normally do better than this.

Few issues I have. The extension has to be reloaded every time I start a session. That makes no sense, what's the purpose? I have to start every paragraph with CAP and then I can say the word. If I pause in the middle of a sentence, it will auto cap. There is no learning I can see taking place, often mispelling words I regularly use. Words get put in without saying anything, similar to other comments. I have high volume need to use by will type, just as I am now, to ensure accuracy. I use about 30% of time due the hassles I encounter.

Had Dragon/Nuance since Ver4 ? up to Ver12? Was excellent, but last years caused so many issues, including slowdowns, locking, copy/paste to applications, microphones not working, etc. Blamed win10 and went to win11 and Chrome. Removed it from pc after BSOD while trying to use. Company has/had other activities and got impression this was a secondary market that appears to have been neglected after niche markets of health and law. Hope things change, as said, it was excellent. Just don't want to wipe/reload pc again. Very disappointing.

Take up too much RAM, and slows other programs down or freezes them up. It constantly inserts the word him randomly when I am dictating. Or as long as the program has been out and the cost of it it should operate a lot smoother. It just starts typing him him him him him him him when nothingn is being said or him him when there is no background noise. See what I mean.

The program has a lot of annoying features/problemms like tthe double characters in this liine (I don't correct it to jusst show how bad it is). I have to doo a lot of manual fixing, for exxample an exttra space in front of a period. In ALL cases, no exxception. Typing in Microsoft Word still works best and I copy and pasted into other appliccations. Odd! Unfortunately, despitte all these downsides Dragon is stiill the best dictation sooftware in the market. I am still lookking.

It is now July 2025, and once again, users of Dragon NaturallySpeaking are facing significant and ongoing issues with the software’s extensions. A brief glance at the hundreds of online reviews reveals a consistent pattern of frustration, yet no effective resolution appears to have been implemented. This is particularly concerning since Microsoft has acquired the Dragon Corporation, and therefore holds direct responsibility for the product's functionality and accessibility. What I find most disheartening is the apparent disregard for the needs of users with disabilities—despite the clear obligations set out under the Equality Act 2010 and the Americans with Disabilities Act. I became severely dyslexic at the age of nine after contracting meningococcal septicaemia and meningitis. Since then, I have relied entirely on speech-to-text technology to work, communicate, and function day to day. Dragon has been an essential tool in my personal and professional life, particularly when writing emails and producing written content. Without it, I am significantly disadvantaged. If this were a physical disability—say, a wheelchair with a missing wheel—urgent steps would be taken. If someone had a broken limb, people would respond with immediate support. Yet when a person at 58 says they cannot spell due to a medically-induced learning disability, they are often met with dismissal or judgement. The assumption is that we are somehow less intelligent, when in fact, we are facing a serious accessibility barrier through no fault of our own. The technology exists. I can stand several feet away from my phone, issue a verbal command, and it accurately carries it out—whether it’s composing, reading back, or sending a text. So why are Microsoft and Nuance unable or unwilling to ensure the same functionality for Dragon users? Why is the development team failing to maintain the critical updates and compatibility necessary to keep this tool reliable? There must be a patch. There must be a solution. The current situation reflects either a lack of technical competence or, more worryingly, a lack of care. For many thousands of users like myself, Dragon is not a luxury—it is a lifeline. We deserve better. I urge Microsoft and Nuance to take immediate steps to resolve these issues, restore full functionality to Dragon NaturallySpeaking, and engage meaningfully with the community that relies so heavily on this software for accessibility and independence. I've been an advocate of Dragon from the day that it was incorporated many years ago I've gone from issue version 1 with version 16, with the acquisition by Microsoft I was truly hoping that the financial inputs of this software would make it vast or more reliable and consistent in its use but unfortunately it has the inherent problems of extensions continuously keep dropping off and the system requiring a reload continuously hindering the process of working with the utilisation of the Dragon system it would be lovely to understand why the extensions are not compatible with Microsoft or Chrome and why they continuously keep dropping off halfway through its operation. this was an issue is no way of getting a patch or anything just one thing to think outside of the box

Severely physically disabled from MS but with a brain as yet entirely intact, my study hobby ha become my way of life. But unable properly to write or even hold a pen anymore , this would have been impossible but for Dragon NaturallySpeaking. She doesn't get it right all the time, in spite of the publicity blurb, but correction is easy and in the 13 years since the inception of the FutureLearn platform I study with, I have completed 214 courses. That's an enormous boon for me but it's also a tribute to DNS. With more specialised versions equally applicable to the Medical or Academic worlds, or the basic Home edition which is ample for my needs, if you want to simplify your day by using your voice instead of tedious writing, Dragon is the program for you!

Wenn es denn dann mal läuft, dann tut es meist was es soll. Aber ich kann vielen Vorrednern nur zustimmen, dass es "out of the box" einfach nur mühselig ist und irgendwas immer nicht funktioniert. Nach ausgiebiger Recherche und hin und her mit dem Support ( sowohl privat als auch b2b) konnte sich für mich/uns jedenfalls herauskristallisieren, dass es relativ zuverlässig wird wenn die neusten Visual C++ Redistributables für 2010, 2012 und 2019 installiert sind. Hierbei sollte unbedingt darauf geachtet werden sowohl 32bit als auch 64bit zu installieren. Hoffentlich hilft es auch dem ein oder anderen weiter
