Talk:Dragon NaturallySpeaking

message: A friend told me that DNS "only recognizes one voice" so it is useless for transcribing interviews or such. Is this true? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk  03:36, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: Not exactly true. You can set up multiple users on a single installation of DNS, so that, e.g., each member of a family can have their own voice and language model and be recognized appropriately without confusion, as long as they always log in to their own user profile within DNS. And DNS has for a long time had the ability to recognize from recorded speech, with correction afterward. But it will probably do quite poorly on a single recording with multiple speakers. Proper ASR with any ASR software would probably require an intermediate step of speaker identification to split the recording into single-speaker segments, not only recognizing "There is a change of speaker here", but also "The new speaker is speaker A" (who was the speaker in, e.g., segments 1, 3, 6, and 9), so that all of each speaker's segments can benefit from correction on each other. --Thnidu (talk) (Senior Linguist, Dragon Systems, 1990-2001) 18:46, 7 August 2012 (UTC)

message: The latest revision was the addition of a link
:http://dragonvoicesoftware.com   Dragon Voice Software
under "References". If it had any business being on the page, it should be under External Links. But in fact a whois search reveals that this domain is not owned by the manufacturer, Nuance Communications, but by a private individual, most likely a retailer. So I took it out. --Thnidu (talk) 22:59, 20 June 2014 (UTC)

message: I think it should be mentioned in the article that NaturallySpeaking is still (as of version 13) a native 32-bit application with code added to make it run on 64-bit systems.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:6:2180:D0:3C7C:EEED:EDF0:4EF8 (talk) 11:08, 23 March 2015 (UTC)

message: Dragon NaturallySpeaking is produced by Nuance, which has been acquired by Microsoft. I'm a Microsoft employee, so I'm not going to make the change myself, but I propose the following two changes:
Replace the lede paragraph with the following:
Add the following paragraph to the bottom of the History section (which I don't think is a great history section, but which I at least don't think I'm making worse...):

text: I did modify your second paragraph to match the format of the rest of the history section. I don't particularly mind either way though so if you want to do a copyedit on that paragraph, I'll give you the {ECOI|g}} template message. Happy Editing--IAmChaos 04:36, 8 March 2022 (UTC)
