Ask the Dictator: Episode 32 - Dragon 11.5 and Dragon Remote Mic!

[ArielchanTempest]

It worked just fine when we set it up on Jan. 1st, but now when I try to open it I get a little error window that says "Failed to launch UI Automation Server". WHAT SHOULD I DO?! I NEED THIS FOR MY COLLEDGE PAPERS!

I just updated my own installation of Dragon and I must say version 11.5 does seem faster and more fluid. With something like voice dictation, every bit of speed you can get makes a difference.

I made a quick video showing how 11.5 compares to version 11, at least on my own setup. I haven't got into the whole remote mic yet, but I may find some uses for that in the future!

What is sad is that I had to come HERE to find out what was new in the 11.5 upgrade it just installed. Nuance's web pages, particularly support, load -very- slowly and I'm on a high-speed broadband connection.

Thanks for the demo, it's appreciated. Going to go try it out... :)

I've been using Dragon NaturallySpeaking for 12 years. For many years, I've been able to adjust the font size in Microsoft Word with one simple command. But version 11 would not let me do this in Word. Somehow, you just executed this command in Word when you said "Set font size to 24". Is this command one of the new features of version 11.5?

Can you provide a list of some of the new features in version 11.5? BTW. Your Nuance webpage for the new features is currently not working.

Nice, seems to work well! Will be pretty useful in iOS 5.

What sort of sorcery is this?
