Solve : Dragon NaturallySpeaking 13 won't work in some text boxes of Windows 10? |
|
Answer» I've always had trouble with Dragon working in some text boxes on different webpages, but now it isn't working with a program I use for work. I work online with tutor.com and since they updated their program or since one of my Windows updates I can't dictate anything into the tutor.com program. I need to speech to text because my arms are disabled and now it looks like I'm out of a job because I can't dictate into the program. The tutoring company has done all they can to look into the problem and see if it is anything they can resolve on their end. I'm totally at a loss and I really need this job. I appreciate any HELP or feedback! I've disabled Windows 10 speech to text programs and updated all my drivers. The problem started around the first or second week of September.For Win 10 you will need to update your ver. of Dragon...it's a KNOWN issue. In recent years, with the advent of tablet devices and touch screen PCs, we have seen a shift in how products are being developed and how “traditional” input devices are often not part of the package. However, many of the features discussed in this publication are available on tablet devices right out of the box; they just have to be turned on. Text-to-speech is just one example of a built-in accessibility feature that some tablet devices offer. Accessories are available that offer key guards for the onscreen keyboard, external large print or color contrast keyboards are available, and devices can be configured to be switch accessible.I hope that might be of some help. By the way: Any handicapped individual who must use assertive technology with Windows PC can get a free upgrade to Windows 10 from windows 7. This offer from Microsoft is still open. Any disabled person with an older windows 7 PC in their possession can upgrade it to Windows 10 and have a PC with Windows 10. I installed Windows 10 in a way that still lets me boot to Windows 7 if I need to. In fact, I do because of the issues with Dragon and Windows 10. I decline to upgrade my Dragon. I see no reason to pay money money. Even a free upgrade is not what I want. Changing or a migrating a profile in Dragon is hard for a disabled person. It is hard for an able-bodied person. Come to think of it, I never use DNS** with Windows 10. For some reason Nuance, the owner of DNS, has done a poor job of moving it to Windows 10. Microsoft gave developers lots of time. IMO they will lily never do it. Instead, use Windows 7. DNS works fine in Windows 7. If you have Windows 10 you can legally use Windows 7 on the same computer without a violation of the EULA. (But there is a lot of confusion about this.) Here is a link that claims to have the correct answer.
