Question about Computers & Internet
I am handicapped and use DragonDictate to operate my computer for moving My mouse as well as using it for a dictation. I use Microsoft Excel regularly. DragonDictate seems to work okay. Everywhere else. I use my computer telephone to speak. It would be necessary for you to give me a phone number and time. When I can' speak with you. Or else you can e-mail me at [email protected]
I have a new computer with Vista
I hope you can help me! Thank you
Hello otdpaul I have used this Dragon software before. Although I dont have it installed on this system and have not used it for a few months, I might install it again to help you here.
What problem exactly are you having with Excel? Is it navigating around the cells or entering the data?
Regards

Hi, how can I help you pls?
Benimur says:
I understand, give me a sec to check on the Dragon NaturallySpeaking specs
otdpaul says:
dragon naturally speaking9preferred does not work on microsoft excel
Benimur says:
Copy
that, I am not familiar with DragonDictate, but from what I did find is
that an update is needed in your readme.wri file (located in the
DragonDictate directory) and/or REPLACE2.DDX from Dragon's web site.
otdpaul says:
I just purchased it it was installed on a differant computer with Vista and it worked
Benimur says:
I see, then chances are what you need to check/update is your Excel or MS Office
Benimur says:
Did I understand your earlier post, on your PC DragonDictate works on all other Microsoft programs except Excel?
otdpaul says:
how do I do that,yes it works everywhere else
otdpaul says:
I am computer illiterate so use simple steps and languge
Benimur says:
No prob. to update your MS excel program, open excel as you would normally open any other program
otdpaul says:
ok it is open
otdpaul says:
Benimur are you still there?
Benimur says:
still on, sorry power failure?
Benimur says:
To update Excel, open it as you would any other Windows program. Go to Help, click on Check for updates.
Alternately, you can open your browser (IE or Mozilla) and open the Microsoft Website and look for Office update

Hi,
Sorry our live session was interrupted, power failure my end (on and off). Way down below is a copy of our initial session. Immediately after this are my suggestions.
To update Excel, open it as you would any other Windows program. Go to Help, click on Check for updates.
Alternately, you can open your browser (IE or Mozilla) and open the Microsoft Website and look for Office update.
Initially, pls verify that your macros (in Excel) have the necessary command lines.
Pls post back soon as you have updated your Excel as well as Vista's Speech Recognition Software.
Good luck and kind regards.
Hi again,
Glad that it is now working.
Cheers.

I have version 9 Preferred on my new machine with Vista.It works everywhere except Excel.It dose not enter data in cells.I had version 8 on my old computer with XP and that worked just fine. A friend installed my version 9 on his computer with Vista and it preforms great in Excel I have only had my new computer for a week. My be I am doing something wrong or perhaps something is turned off in the Excel program. I am computer illiterate so please explain in simple language and step by step procedure. I hope you can help me fix this problem! THANK YOU,otdpaul
