Anyone using Nuance's 'Dragon Naturally Speaking' or equivalent?
Carol Haynes:
A few questions:
* Anyone know how the license works? Is it activated to only one computer or can you install on desktop and laptop? They introduced activation to one computer with OmniPage a wehile back which is when I dropped the purchased version and started using the latest free version supplied with printers!
* Can more than one person use the software or is the training specific to a single voice?
* Can you use multiple languages?
* If you have a bluetooth headset can you just buy the home or premium version or do you need a version with specific support for bluetooth?I have to say Nuance's website has always been truly awful - it seems to be designed to be deliberately confusing and in the past I have found you can order the same products at different prices depending on which page you look at! They seem to work on the basis of acquiring established titles (OmniPage is another one they bought from TextBridge) and then hiking the prices.

1. Licensing: maybe 10 activations per user (Nuance says only 5) - see here :

2. Its per user (not per PC). So doubt more than one user / one voice input permitted.
3. Multiple Languages - Not sure.
4. All versions support bluetooth.
Knowbrainer forums seem to be ONLY place where users discuss DNS ! Thanks David!

Carol Haynes:
Thanks - that's helpful.

Carol-
AFAIK the English versions sold in US and UK can only do English.
But if you know exactly what other language you want DNS to do, you can buy DNS in the country where this language is natively spoken and then it will do that countries native language *plus* English.
Be careful with your bluetooth headset, it may not work as good as you may think if it is an inexpensive one. DNS seems to give strongly varying results with different headsets.
The headsets that do give really good results are usually quite expensive, sometimes quite a bit more than DNS itself.
Carol Haynes:
Thanks.
