Nuance - Dragon NaturallySpeaking Solutions

Dragon and Windows 7

The newest version of the Windows operating system, Windows 7, was released to manufacturing last week, with general retail availability expected in October. Nuance performed preliminary testing on the release candidate of Windows 7 and found that Dragon installed and ran on this operating system with no major issues.  Our preliminary testing of the release candidate of Windows 7 included both English and Spanish.

 

So for anyone who is wondering if Dragon will run on Windows 7, the short answer is yes. But there is some fine print you should keep in mind: Although Windows 7 may include some new features and functionality, these items have not been reviewed and tested within Nuance labs. You should also note that we tested the "release candidate" so additional testing will be necessary when Windows 7 is formally released as Microsoft may have made changes to the final version of the release that may impact compatibility with Dragon.

Installing DNS 10 on Windows 7 (64 bit) I am prompted to install C++ runtime. I say OK and it tells me C++ runtime is not compilable with 64 bit. I tried running the installation anyway, but it tells me it must have C++ runtime. Any suggestions?

Dragon 10.2 will install on Win 7 and will run with the Dragon Pad but will only run on Wordperfect X4 or MS Office 2007 if I use the Vista SP2 compatibility mode. I think Nuance have some work to do.

I tried to migrate from Windos Vista (64 bit) to Windows 7.. worked great - jut one exception: Dragon! This did not work at all, even the unintall did not work (asking me for serial, hardware fingerprit etc)....

I`d strongly recommend using it on Win7, I have to choose between the operating system and Dragon, it seems.

Installation of Dragon Speak 10 on Windows 7 RC x64 crashed OS and I was forced to go back to backup as system restore did not correct the problem.

The problem uccured when C++ 2008 Redistributables file was updating, I ran into this issue once before with a Logitech C++ Redistributables update with Windows 7 RC, they resolved the problem in the next update and everything was peachy.

Leary about installing again until some work is done to make DS more compatable, instead of just "basic regression testing".

I am a developer and I was very exited to start working with this software. I guess I will wait and see what Nuance does with Win7

If you are in the market for new hardware or software and you want to know it will work well with Windows 7, look for the Compatible with Windows 7 Logo.

There are any statement ?

Hi DS -

Dragon 9.5 is not supported on Windows 7.  If you want to run in Windows 7, you will need to upgrade to Dragon 10.1

I have just tried to run Dragon 9.5 on windows 7 and it keeps giving errors.  It will not run in compatibility mode either.

I've been using Dragon NaturallySpeaking Preferred 10.1 on my three home computers and all of them have been running Windows 7 RC since it first came out.  Thus far it has been running extremely well . . . the only thing I've noticed is that the installation seems to take forever compared to what it did on XP.

Keep up the good work!
