Nuance abandoned the Mac version once before, and a company named Mac Speech filled the void for a few years. I’m not familiar with the name you use, Dragon Professional Individual. I would invite other readers to share their thoughts on these questions.Īs I’ve known it, Nuance’s product is called Dragon Dictate. So the question now arises, do existing users who opted for the last, very expensive update, that still never properly worked reliably and often crashed, have recourse against Nuance, given the product never consistenty functioned in a reliable fashion? I have no legal experience but could be grounds for a possible class action lawsuit?

I was one of those suckers that did the update hoping for the best. It is no wonder that given its latest price point, many users probably decided to decline the update offer which likely provided their justification for abandoning the product. That said, it is absolutely outrageous that Nuance effectively doubled the price of the the last update in order to milk their existing customers for as much as the market might bear, without providing meaningful improvements, before abandoning the product.

From the day that MacSpeech sold transferred its product to Nuance I was concerned that this would eventually happen given their jaded history. Frankly I am not that unhappy to see them disappear, hopefully opening the door to a more user centric publisher of speech recognition for the Mac should Apple not enhance its current product to fill the gap. Throughout its history Nuance has been an unreliable, buggy, product with abismal technical support.
