muxxxxy (ID: 0000002852b2dfe2) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 07/22/2024 NB. The most important point comes at the end of this review. The company's response to the problem with this specific app (even though there is never any response from its originators/Dragon/Nuance to these comments online) seems that we must buy the new update. I wonder how many of us in the throes of the 2023 economic mess in the UK can afford hundreds of pounds primarily, it seems, to fix this software, especially when this app is known not to fix anything at all...?! I've never known any company to charge such a huge amount, if anything, for updating software which we've already bought. After months of reinstalling this app every day and more than once every day when switching off the laptop, I found little option but to budget accordingly. I bought the new upgrade, only to find that I have still had to reinstall this app every time I close the computer. Plus, foolishly as this has little to do with the problem, I had hoped that the new upgrade together with this app might just conceivably enable voice recognition to work not merely on Microsoft Excel, but on Access. It doesn't. And aside from Microsoft's own products, Dragon appears not to work comprehensively on some necessary applications anyway. Two important points that I hope will help others: After paying for the new version of Dragon, I still have to uninstall and re-instalI the extension here every time that I re-open Chrome. I've no idea how to stop it happening. So, even after paying the exorbitant amount for the Dragon upgrade, the problem with constantly uninstalling and reinstalling this extension continues. And even then, it doesn't work on many websites, particularly in my specific field of work. I wonder if the problem is merely that this app which we've all been using here is, quite simply, years out of date. The Dragon professional medical version has been updated much more recently! At least that app has been updated even if this one here has not. I'm not at all sure it's just the app which is the problem. Perhaps Dragon itself is failing its clients = us. The main reason That they have required us to pay for the upgrade of the software overall is surely that before long, technical support will again be removed from the previous version of Dragon and there will again be no more automatic updates. That happened to us with the penultimate upgrade just a few years ago. Be warned: we may expect the company to do the same again And require us to upgrade before we can have access to some aspects of the software.

William Reilly (ID: 00000083aa450017) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 05/08/2024 The extension has always had problems, now frequently asking if I want to restore it in Chrome...then sometimes works and others not...I just restored it and not working at all.

Nick Boyd (ID: 000000993fbfacee) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 11/21/2023 The same as everybody else's complaint. Keeps crashing and requires restarting. Come on guys invest a little make this thing work! Update: A year later, after spending hundreds of dollars upgrading to V16, this useless piece of software still keeps crashing. Come on, guys, sort it out!

Lance Burdett (ID: 0000000e6866847c) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 07/13/2023 Chrome continues to remove the web extension, so frustrating at having to reinstall

David Rudmin (ID: 000000b334799719) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 04/21/2023 It constantly freezes up, and so you have to quick go find the switch to turn it off, and then turn it back on. But you do need it, because otherwise Dragon will double letters, all over everywhere.
