Home Forums What’s New in NaturallySpeaking Ver. 11

We have not yet finished our review of Ver. 11, which we hope to post in the next few days but we do have a prerelease of our What’s New in NaturallySpeaking Ver. 11 if anyone is interested in checking out some of the new features and enhancements. http://www.knowbrainer.com/PubForum/index.cfm?page=viewForumTopic&topicId=10413

Tom,

Any guess on when Version 11 Medical will be released? Any predictions on new features?

I suspect it will be out in early 2011. Legal version coming out first
No commitment from nuance on medical.I suspect they will refine it a lot

I can't imagine version 11 being worth the upgrade unless it's cheap. It makes 15% less errors? With greater than 99% accuracy now, that's like 15 errors less every 10,000 words. Maybe worth it to some. It is supposed to be a bit faster without the initial pause.

We'll see. If it would just adapt better over time, that would make it valuable. v10 is so dramatically better than v9. I just doubt the jump to v11 will be as dramatic.

John,

It's going to be months on medical but I think it is going to be full of new features and improvements.

I am hoping that version 11 Medical will improve dictation within more applications. I'd like it to work better with the Open Office Suite, and also with the open source email client Thunderbird. I also use Updox, and just like the others I mentioned, it does a poor job with spacing between words if you pause while dictating. It also has glitches making spelling corrections and refuses to capitalize words with the "cap that" command. Hopefully Nuance will realize there is a need for more than just integration with MS Word.

In version 9, if DNS made an error, I could say "spell that" and it would go into the word correction mode for the last word dictated where I could correct and train. In Version 10, to goes into correction mode and thinks want to spell "@". Is this a bug, does something need to be retrained, or is it a change in the program?

Happens to me sometimes also. I have found that it types "@" if I try to say "spell that" too rapidly or loudly. Try to enunciate the "th" in "that" more clearly...worked for me.

For those of you using naturally speaking, which uses dragon correct? how well do you guys like it in AC? is anyone using the next field commands where they have things in [ ] and what you say will dictate over it?

I would love feed back.
