Dragon Professional and Legal Individual v15.3

What Does Dragon Individual 15.3 Fix?

While the updates to Office functionality seem to be the most significant, let’s take a look at all of the fixes included in this update.

Microsoft Office

  • When dictating into Outlook and Word, the Dragon program shouldn’t delay or cause these applications to freeze/crash. It should work consistently in them, with full functionality.
  • “Runtime error R6025 – pure virtual function call” won’t pop up in Word 2010 anymore.
  • All voice commands now function properly after adding a signature or picture in Outlook.
  • Your cursor won’t jump around anymore as you dictate into Word documents or emails, and the Dragon dictation app won’t jump to another program.
  • The Outlook Reading Pane doesn’t crash anymore when replying to an email.
  • Scrolling and paging commands now work correctly.

Mozilla® Firefox

There’s a new Firefox plug-in for Dragon Naturally Speaking, which should add a lot of dictation and correction functionality for basic text fields. Open Firefox after installing this update to make sure you get the extension.

Miscellaneous

Version 15.3 also resolves issues related to:

  • Functionality in Firefox using the “modern” DragonBar
  • Read-only fields
  • Speech playback
  • Correction commands (Canada only)
