dictating in multiple languages with DNS or VV
Submitted by vivalamusica on Sat, 10/08/2005 - 19:27.
I'm currently using the Italian version of DNS latest ed., which also includes the UK English and US English modules.
Now, I would also like to dictate in French and German, but it is my undestanding that this is difficult to accomplish, even buying each language version separately. Now, is this at all possible? If limitations do exist, does VV also have them? (I also have VV 10 but never tried it.)
Thanks

You can read a long chain of exchanges on this topic under "DNS blocks multilingualism" on Speech Computing.
The bottom line is: DNS blocked multiligualism under version 8. It was perfectly functional under 7 (and the best package with 4 languages was the Dutch package).
Chuck Runquist claims that DNS can give you now instructions how to handle the blockage under version 8, but in order to get the instructions you must first take a risk and buy those programs. While I can always trust Chuck, I have not seen any positive report since from anyone who really has been able to achieve that. I am not very confident that all Support people have been told.
My advice: call your European support number and ask them what to do. If they say they haven't heard about this, tell them you read it on the Forum. If they don't even know there IS a problem, write a letter to Chuck. MY position is: I do not want to be dependent on accidental Support people, who may or may not be familiar with the problem. I expect ScanSoft to solve the issue in the program architecture. Otherwise, I prefer staying with version 7.
