Dragon NaturallySpeaking 8/SDK on Vista

[Robert Robinson]

NaturallySpeaking 8 runs fine in Vista #5384, but there is a problem
with the NS SDK. It is possible to create a VB reference to the NS SDK
DLL, DNSTK10.dll, and to add the speech engine and other controls to the
toolbar. Placing the Dragon Engine Control on a VB form results in an
immediate "Dragon Engine Error" message. Other Dragon controls can the
placed on a form without problems and the properties of all the Dragon
controls are properly displayed under VB.
Executing a Dragon Engine Control function results in the error message
"system.windows.form.AxHost+InvalidActiveXState Exception was thrown".
Has anyone had any experience with running the NaturallySpeaking SDK
controls on Vista ? The same program code works properly with Windows
2003 Server and Windows XP.
Thank you.
Robbie

What does the vendor say?

Hi Tom,

Thank you for the comment.
There hasn't be a reply from Nuance (formerly ScanSoft) as yet. Informal
information from the forums indicates it may be a long time before there is
official support for NaturallySpeaking on Vista.
