DNS 13 works Feb 14, 2022

I actually tried DNS 13 with MemoQ shortly after my previous post, but I forgot to come back and share my results.

It turns out, DNS (DPI) 15 is the problem here. DNS 13 works beautifully with MemoQ. Maybe once or twice every four or five hours DNS will freeze for about 10-20 seconds, but it seems possibly unrelated to MemoQ and I never have to restart either program to get things working again.

Having to create a new profile was a bit of an inconvenience as I had to add back in a bunch of words and phrases, but it was absolutely worth it for the near flawless stability. It has been so nice not having to use the dictation box or Notepad anymore.

I highly recommend giving 13 a try.

Where to get version 13? Apr 8, 2023

Hey Bree,

I came here looking for a solution for the DNS 15 and memoQ issue, and I would like to try DNS 13 now.

Where did you get that version?

I own DNS 15, but there does not seem to be way to download version 13 from Nuance. Any idea where I can get that older one? I suppose with the newer licence one can also use the older software, right? Or did you have to buy it?

memoq with DNS Dec 12, 2023

my main client recently switched from using wordfast to memoq. I have worked with them for many years using wordfast and DNS (currently version 15.61) with no real problems. Has anyone figured out how to backtrack from DNS 15.61 to DNS 13?

Am currently running the newest version of Dragon (16) very happily with memoQ Dec 12, 2023

I'm currently running the newest version of Dragon (16) very happily with memoQ. I'm even getting Select-and-Say functionality. Am using it both for dictation and commands.

does anyone have a Dragon (DPI) 13 software download available or know where to find it? I still have the activation key for DNS 13 but no longer have the software download unfortunately.

DNS16 and memoq Dec 18, 2023

Michael: which version of memoq are you using? I installed a trial version of DNS (DPI) 16 and it still does not work at all (no dictation available at all) with the web based memoq version available from my client for translations. very frustrating to say the least.

I don't use MemoQ but you're talking about the browser, right, not the application...?
In which case it will surely be a case of DNS working with Chrome or whatever?

I'm using version 10.4.11 of memoQ. You mentioned you are using "the web based memoq version". Does this mean you aren't using Dragon in the Windows version of memoQ?

As a side note, in the past week or so I have actually started testing a new dictation and voice command program called Talon (which runs on Windows, Mac and Linux), which seems to be almost as good as Dragon for dictation, and quite a bit better at voice commands.

I have some info about it on my wiki:
