What are the new computer hardware requirements for Dragon Naturally Speaking version 10.
Heres the information from www.nuance.com http://www.nuance.com/naturallyspeaking/preferred/ sysreqs.asp
Intel? Pentium? / 1 GHz processor (for example, Pentium? M, Pentium? 4), or equivalent AMD? processor - Faster processors will yield faster performance
512 MB RAM
1 GB free hard disk space
Microsoft? Windows? XP (SP1 or higher) Home and Professional, 2000 (SP4 or higher) Windos Vista ( 32bit) ( will NOT work with 64bit Vista or XP at this stage)
Quality Nuance Approved USB Microphone. Best unit thats availabel in Australia is the NC181USB Microphone from here. (http://www.voicerecognition.com.au/nc181vm_usb_mi crophone.htm)
Microsoft? Internet Explorer 6 or higher (free download available at www.microsoft.com)
CD-ROM drive (required for installation)
Speakers (required for playback of recorded speech and text to speech features)
A web connection is required for activation
Heres an Australian Retailers take on hardware specs http://www.voicerecognition.com.au/faq.htm#technic al ( also our friendly sponsor)
So I think these new specifications are a LOT more realistic. I'd say it will run OK on the recommended.
I have yet to test version 10, but when I do I'll report on its performance in the real world on a range of PCs.
If you have got version 10 and want to comment on your computer system specification and power running Dragon 10 then please do so in this thread. Im sure theres a lot of potential users who want to hear about your experiences.
