Nuance has awesome language recognition software. At the same time, all Nuance software (and I have stubbornly bought several of their programs) are extremely poorly written and/or tested. They ALL crash your machine from time to time and have major conflict problems with other programs. It is insane that we’re on version 10 and the same thing keeps happening with various people - and the software writers keep making the same mistake. It is just unbelievable.

Mirium, I have the same problem. COmputer shuts down when I use DNS10 on XP. Especially when I try to use acoustic and language model optimiser but also happens at other times when accessing the toolbox menu’s. HOw did you go with the so called support centre?

Roman, do you have the secret for reporting bugs to Nuance? Their tech support seems to be designed to prevent any feedback or bug reports.

I’ve just installed Dragon 10 preferred upgrade on Windows XP (2Gb RAM), and it crashes the computer totally, at random, just a sudden and immediate shut down of the computer with no warning, no blue screen. It’s happened several times tonight when adding files to the vocab, and when doing general training. Hope they somehow find out and can fix it.

I’ll try phoning Nuance Australia tomorrow, but given the apparent fobbing off of customers who’ve already bought the product I’m not that hopeful. I may have to go back to the previous version, which would be a real nuisance.

Not necessarily a Javascript conflict. Using a good firewall that protects applications (e.g. Comodo) can tell a lot about interactions among programs. NaturallySpeaking seems to inject code into all running apps. Injected code, as any code, naturally, can create problems. Please report this bug to Nuance.

FYI, I purchased and installed version 10. I noticed a big accuracy improvement and portable recorder transcribing works great. One bug I noticed is that if I have the program loaded even with the microphone off my Oracle applets crashes IE. It must be some kind of Javascript conflict. If I close out Dragon everything works fine.
