Finally got the Ultimate update of DSN Professional. It works, unlike the
Vista Speech Recognition piece of um.crud!

I've been using Vista Speech Recognition to dictate to Word. It works great
for me. It does require a decent microphone.

NaturallySpeaking Medical 9.5 unfortunately will not install on
Microsoft Server 2007.
I do agree that NaturallySpeaking is far superior to Microsoft Speech. A
few of the many important differences are user selectable, subject
oriented training texts that provide word by word feedback of
recognition accuracy, capability of training and storing phrases in
addition to individual words, vocabulary training and editing, and the
availability of specialized vocabularies. Most importantly, the
recognition accuracy of NaturallySpeaking is vastly superior to that of
Microsoft Speech.

Dear Ross,

What are you talking about!? Fista's speech recognition works great. Or at
least as well as the rest of the crapware that comes bundled with it. Need
proof? Here it is ...

Try it with Live Messenger. It doesn't work. DSN does/

Great video!

Don't get me wrong: I like 99% of Vista a great deal. The 1% I hate
includes unavailability of drivers for third party hardware (not MS's fault)
and how badly Speech Recognition works compared to stuff like Dragon.

I have both DSN 9 standard and Vista VR and they work fine for me...

On a comparative basis, I simply find DSN vastly superior to Vista's
VR......
 
I cannot even install DNS 9.5 in Vista. I tried and it just hangs without
installing. Called DNS techsupport and after close to an hour, we both gave
up. Tested the installation on XP SP2 and it installed in less than 4
minutes! Any suggestions are welcome and appreciated!

Cheers,

Gene

Try this:
delete all temp files and then download & run windows install clean up
utility utility.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301
Delete all install references to DNS.
Let us know if this works.

My gratitude for having replied! This is all I have done to get the
installation going:

Deleted DNS from all temporary files; downloaded and opened Windows Install
Cleanup, DNS was not there; Turned off Firewall; Turned off Anti-Virus;
checked the Registry for any instances of DNS (Registry First Aid), RFA
found none; tried to install it directly from the DNS website, failed; saved
the DNS file to the Hard Disk and tried to install it, failed; and, finally,
burned the file to DVD and tried to install it again, failed. All this
failed! Still hoping for some help!

Cheers,

Gene

The only other suggestion I have it to try installing it in
compatibility mode.

What is that "compatibility mode"?

Right click on the install exe for DNS. You will see a menu and one of
the selections will be Compatibility. Click on it and select "Run this
program in compatibility mode for:" and in the drop down list select XP SP2.

I had a similar problem many years ago trying to set up a new system for a
blind co-worker. Ultimately got it going by NOT using the latest drivers
for the video card even though the drivers were supposed to be compatible
with the software. Sounds funny but you have to remember that screen
readers must make use of the video drivers to "see" what is on the screen.
The problem may be with the video card and/or driver. Contact that
manufacturer and see if they have a patch specifically for Dragon.
