totally baffled here Options

I have not used Dragon for several months, and decided to start back with it again. The first thing I noticed was the Voc Bldr slowed down to a snail's crawl ... and then nothing. I thought perhaps things got corrupt along the way, so I uninstalled Dragon and did not save the voice files. I wanted a "pure" reinstallation. What's what I thought.

The installation went fine until I had to train the voice files. I think I said "Welcome to General Training" about 10x before the system responded. I said "Training is about to Begin" about 15x and no response. I clicked Cancel and then the system woke up. I got about halfway through the training session and then everything froze up completely. I couldn't go any further.

I have not had any problems with my system insofar as any program goes. In fact, the last time I used Dragon it was working just fine. Now, I can't even get past the general training.

Any ideas on this?

Hi all,

Thanks for getting back to me on the problem I was having. To sum everything up, I removed the microphone and then put it in the socket began, making sure that it was very tight. I reinstalled Dragon and created a new user. What I did notice is that the green bar that determines its Dragon is picking up your voice really shot up. So, things started looking good.

For reasons unknown, Dragon did not take me into the process will buy you test your microphone (it gives you a score to show you how good voice recognition is). It jumped immediately into the point of initial training. What I did notice (and I notice even now) is when I dictate the yellow bar disappears and is always replaced with red, each and every time that I dictate. To me, that should mean that Dragon did not understand what I am saying. Well, not only does Dragon understand everything I am saying, it is about 99% accurate.

It would be absolutely wonderful if things continued along as they are, but I do not want to get my hopes too high up. Should I anticipate Dragon crashing sometime soon? I ask this only because of the red bar, which is constantly appearing every time I speak.

Now, it is time to add the medical reports and really give Dragon will run around the corner.
