I am unable to install Dragon Naturally Speaking 12 -- on windows 8 pro 64 bit - for some reason every time I try to install this program when it is almost completed the whole computer freezes, locks up, and I have to manually switch it off and restart it. I can't get dragon naturally speaking to install on my windows computer I can't get dragon naturally speaking home version 12 to install on my windows 8 computer, help. It starts and then says it's interrupted, try later. If you are Windows 8 users: Move your mouse to the bottom-right corner of the desktop, you will be able to activate the Win8 side menu. Click on Settings, select Control Panel, click Uninstall a program. Find out and highlight Dragon NaturallySpeaking 12 on the list of installed programs.

Whether you’re installing NaturallySpeaking for the first time or installing over a previous version, the process is easy. If you have user profiles from NaturallySpeaking version 10 or 11, the Upgrade Wizard finds those user profiles and sets them up in version 12. Otherwise you’re guided through the creation of a new user profile. Follow these steps:

1Find the envelope that contains the installation DVD.

The DVD in the white envelope has a label with a serial number on it. The serial number enables you to activate the program, so keep it handy. You’ll see duplicates of the number in a peel-off label format for your convenience.

2Paste the duplicate serial numbers in places that you can easily access.

For safekeeping, peel two of them off (leaving one on the envelope) and put them on your software receipt or in a file folder where you’ll be able to find them again.

3Plug in the microphone.

Microphones other than those with a USB (including the headset microphones that come with NaturallySpeaking editions) plug into your computer’s sound card. If you have a desktop computer, turn the computer so that you can see the back where all the cables are.

Because many people feel this way, Nuance has thoughtfully provided a user guide for the headset included with the software. Look at the the operating guide. Your computer likely has color-coded jacks for the microphone and the headset. The headset has two color-coded plugs that correspond to the ones on the headset. Insert the plugs into the jacks as shown in the photo they supply.

4Put the installation DVD into your DVD drive.

The Windows AutoRun feature starts running the installation program automatically.

If you wait 30 seconds or so and nothing happens, don’t worry. Nothing is wrong. Do this instead: Double-click the Computer icon on the Windows desktop. When the Computer window opens, find the icon corresponding to your DVD-ROM drive, and double-click it. Find the setup.exe file in the DVD-ROM window and double-click it. Now you are exactly where you would be if it had started automatically.

5Click Next.

The InstallShield Wizard starts. The End User License Agreement appears.

6Select the radio button that says “I accept the terms in the license agreement” if you agree, and then click Next in the License Agreement window.

You are presented with the customer information window.

7Type in your username and serial number where prompted and click Next.

The serial number will never have any letter Os in it. If you see something that looks like an O, it’s always a zero.

8Choose which components of Dragon NaturallySpeaking to install.

The screen displays two radio button choices, Typical/Complete or Custom.

Unless you are an advanced user, select Typical/Complete.

Also on that screen you see the capability to change the location of the files. The wizard suggests C:/ProgramFiles/Nuance/NaturallySpeaking12, which is the logical choice. If you agree, do nothing. If you’d like to choose a different folder, click the Change button. A Change Current Destination Folder window appears. Select the folder you want. After you select the folder you want, click the OK button in the Choose Directory window.

9Click Next.

A Ready to Install the Program window appears; its purpose is to make sure you didn’t make a mistake on the choices you made. You can click Back to return to the preceding screen and change the choices you made there.

10Click Install.

The files are copied to your hard drive. This may take several minutes. When all the files are copied, a screen appears, and you’re asked to choose a way to register the software.

11Select one of the three radio buttons to register.

You can choose Register Online, Print Registration Form, or Remind Me in 7 Days. Make your choice based on your needs. Deselect the check box if you don’t want to look for updates.

12Click OK.

A screen informs you that the wizard has completed installing your files. A check box that’s automatically selected looks for program updates when the setup is complete.

13Click Finish.

After a pause, a screen pops up prompting you to activate the software. You can either activate it now or within five more uses. Activation is required to use the program after the fifth use.

You’re presented with two options, “Activate Now,” or “Activate later.” If you click “Activate Now” you must be connected to the web. This is done to verify that you are using a valid serial number. No personal information is sent. If you don’t choose to activate now, you will be prompted the next five times you use the software.

14Click the Activate Now button.

If you checked your system requirements before you installed the program, it’s unlikely that you will get an alert screen. But if you do, this screen alerts you that you don’t have enough computer resources (probably RAM) to run some of the external programs listed with Natural Language commands and that performance will be slower.

If you see this screen, go to the Dragon Help menu in the upper-right corner and choose Performance Assistant to help you increase your speed and change options.

To get yourself properly introduced to your brand new Dragon NaturallySpeaking software, you use the User Profile Wizard. You can start the wizard in one of the two following ways:

Automatically, the first time you run NaturallySpeaking after installation, click the Dragon icon on your desktop (or on the Start screen in Windows 8).

Choose Start→All Programs→Dragon NaturallySpeaking 12.0 from the Windows Start menu (or in Windows 8, press the Windows key to display the desktop and then say “Open Dragon NaturallySpeaking.”

You can also set up a new user profile manually by going to the DragonBar and choosing Profile→New User Profile and then clicking the New button in the New User Profile window. The wizard opens.

To start the process of choosing a username and testing and configuring your microphone, follow these steps:

1Click Next on the Creating a User Profile screen.

The Create User screen appears. The wizard wants to know the following information:

Your User Profile name: This name will appear on future lists and menus so that you can tell NaturallySpeaking which user you are. So pick a name you will recognize as your own. Type it into the text box in the center of the screen and click Next.

Your username is case sensitive. Be aware of that when you make a choice. If you type your name as Tom with a capital T, you won’t be able to use tom later.

Your age group: The wizard isn’t just being nosy. Age plays a part in how your voice sounds. No one is looking. Make your choice from the drop-down list. Click Next.

Identification of the words you say:It’s important for NaturallySpeaking to prepare files that are specific to your region of the world. Again, choose from the list. Click Next.

The way you pronounce your words: There are identifiable accents depending on where in the world you first learned to speak. It’s important for NaturallySpeaking to prepare files that are specific to your region of the world. Choose an accent from the list and click Next.

How you talk to your computer:You need to identify whether you’re going to speak directly into a microphone or use a recorder. You have a choice of Mic-In Jack, USB, Dragon Remote Microphone Application, or Line-In Jack. If you want to use the headset that came with NaturallySpeaking, choose Mic-In Jack. For now, to make it easy, unless you are sure about your recorder, just choose your microphone.

2Click Next. A screen with all your choices appears. If you agree with them, click the Create button.

NaturallySpeaking creates your profile. You will see the progress on the screen, and then your user profile is created.

Antarctica - Covers from -60 to -89 degrees south latitude and was derived completely from NIMA's VMAP0 database. - Topo and highway routable maps. Asia - Covers all of Japan south of 42 degrees north latitude (all areas except Hokkaido island). - vector maps for Garmin and compatible devices.

You’re automatically taken to the next screen, which helps you properly position your microphone.

This is an instructional screen that requires no information from you. It just gives you advice on how to position your microphone, and it shows a picture illustrating the approved technique.

3Position the microphone as directed.

The main idea is that the microphone needs to be near your mouth, but not in front of it. (In front seems natural, but you get interference from your breathing on the microphone.) It should be far enough to the side that you don’t bump it with your mouth when you talk. You may need to twist the arm a bit to get the microphone positioned just right.

Put the microphone a distance of two fingers from your mouth; that’s the perfect amount of space. Also, make sure the word talk under the boom cushion is pointing toward your mouth; otherwise, you will not be heard.

4When your microphone is properly positioned, click Next.

It’s time to adjust the volume with the Adjust Your Volume screen.

5Click the Start Volume Check button and read the text aloud at the volume you plan to use when you dictate.

Stop talking when you hear the beep. The important thing is to keep talking until the wizard is done adjusting the volume.

6Click Next to move on to the Test the Quality of Your Sound System screen.

This screen is another where you talk to the computer while it analyzes. Earlier, it was only listening to the volume. Now it’s analyzing your voice.

7When you’re ready, click the Start Quality Check button and start talking.

Read the text provided on the screen. You should get a Check Microphone: Passed alert. If the test fails, try repositioning your microphone and clicking Start Quality Check to run the test again. You can run it as many times as necessary.

If you continue to fail this test, you may have a broken headset or the sound card on your computer may not be sufficient. To fix this issue, get a USB adapter for your headset or a new USB headset. The USB adapters or headsets have their own sound card that bypasses the one not working in your computer.

8When you’re done with the quality check, click Next.

You’re presented with the Read Text Aloud message to train Dragon. If you want to stop at this point, click Cancel and exit NaturallySpeaking.

NaturallySpeaking remembers that you made it through Audio Setup and starts you off reading training text.
