Dear AC users,
I really think that Nuance's actions should be reported to the Federal Trade Commission--it can be done easily thru their website.
In the email I received I was encouraged to "upgrade" to the Dragon Dictate 10 preferred version, but NOWHERE in the ad did they mention that they had (intentionally) disabled EMR support--which I read on a blog.
I have read some of Nuance's justifications such as Microsoft charge more for different versions of their Office Suites. But Microsoft does not disable functions in their cheaper packages. For instance Microsoft Word does not stop working if it notices you are typing a business document.
Microsoft actually has reasonable speech recognition built in for free in their Vista OS. The only downside is that it cannot scan documents to increase vocabulary.
