Documentation enhancements

The Help content on Accuracy Tuning has been improved to better explain the importance and benefits of performing Accuracy Tuning.

General enhancements

Optional Google Analytics usage data collection

Previously, Dragon's optional Data Collection feature sent transcripts and audio data from your Dragon user profiles to Nuance through a scheduled task. In this release, audio data collection has been discontinued, and usage data is collected using Google Analytics.

Dragon naturally speaking professional v15

Enabling the User Experience Collection feature collects Google Analytics metrics on how you use Dragon. Our researchers analyze the anonymized data to prioritize features and improve the performance and usability of future Dragon releases. This also leads to improved technical support and online help. No personal information is ever collected, and you can stop participating at any time.

If enabled, metrics are collected continually. As a result, the option to configure the scheduled task for Data Collection has been removed from the Administrative Settings>Scheduled Tasks tab.

You can opt in or out of User Experience Collection when you create your user profile, or at any time later on the Options dialog box—Data page. You can also enable User Experience Collection for all user profiles in the Administrative Settings dialog box—Scheduled Tasks tab.

For more information, see About User Experience Collection.

Installation/upgrade enhancements

Uninstalling Dragon no longer includes option to uninstall user profiles

When you uninstall Dragon, the uninstallation process no longer prompts you with the option to uninstall your user profiles automatically. Your user profiles now remain on your computer after uninstalling Dragon unless you remove them manually.

SummaryDescription

Dragon may not respond to MouseGrid commands

When you dictate a MouseGrid command, Dragon may not respond to the command if you dictate the sequence of numbers quickly.

Several NLP commands not working correctly in Microsoft Office version 2019

Some NLP commands do not work in Microsoft Word version 2019. For example, 'Send an Email' or 'Send Document as Email'.

Learn from specific documents not working with Google Docs

When you select the Add Google Docs option in Learn from sent emails and attempt to sign in with your Google credentials, sign in error occurs.

Correction menu and disambiguation markers appear smaller when using 3840 x 2160 resolution

When you are using a monitor that supports high resolution like 3840 x 2160 and you say 'Correct <word>' in Microsoft Word, the Correction menu and disambiguation markers appear significantly smaller.

Accuracy Tuning window appears repeatedly after exiting Dragon and an abnormal termination might occur when running accuracy tuning.

When you launch Accuracy Tuning, the window can appear repeatedly after you exit and re-launch Dragon. This occurs only on 32-bit systems.

We do not recommend running ACO/LMO in this case, because it may result in an application crash when running accuracy tuning.

Application termination can occur when running Accuracy Tuning

On rare occasions, Dragon can terminate unexpectedly when you run Accuracy Tuning.

Workaround: Do not run acoustic optimization and language model optimization if you are using a 32-bit computer running Windows 7 or 10.

Check Dragon SDK applications

Prior to version 15.5, user profiles were located in the ProgramData folder. In version 15.5 and 15.6, user profiles are located in the %AppData% folder to ensure that user profile data remains secure and access is restricted to the user or to an administrator.

If you are using Dragon as a run-time with any Dragon SDK applications you have created:

  • The Open User Profile dialog box shows user profiles in the following locations:
    • C:ProgramDataNuanceNaturallySpeaking15Users (profiles created before v15.5)
    • UsersUsernameAppdataLocalNuanceNS15Users (profiles created or migrated to v15.5 in %LocalAppdata%)
  • SDK requests for a list of speakers will show only the profiles in the new location (%LocalAppdata%).
  • Profiles in the legacy ProgramData location are not listed when SDK applications request a list of Speakers unless the SDK application explicitly changes the profile folder location to the legacy folder in SDK application.
  • Profiles opened through the SDK will not automatically move to the new location.
  • To view profiles located in both the legacy and new locations, SDK applications need to check both locations to show the aggregated list.
