Information:

List of issues resolved in the v15.6.1 update, system requirements, and update/upgrade instructions:

Documentation enhancements

The Help content on Accuracy Tuning has been improved to better explain the importance and benefits of performing Accuracy Tuning.

General enhancements

Optional Google Analytics usage data collection
Previously, Dragon’s optional Data Collection feature sent transcripts and audio data from your Dragon user profiles to Nuance through a scheduled task. In this release, audio data collection has been discontinued, and usage data is collected using Google Analytics.
You can opt in or out of User Experience Collection when you create your user profile,
or at any time later on the Options dialog box—Data page. You can also enable User Experience Collection for all user profiles in the Administrative Settings dialog box—Scheduled Tasks tab.

Installation/upgrade enhancements

Uninstalling Dragon no longer includes option to uninstall user profiles
When you uninstall Dragon, the uninstallation process no longer prompts you with the option to uninstall your user profiles automatically. Your user profiles now remain on your computer after uninstalling Dragon unless you remove them manually.

Upgrade process now uninstalls the previous version automatically
When you upgrade to Dragon version 15.6.1, the upgrade process now uninstalls your previous Dragon version automatically. You no longer need to uninstall your current Dragon version before you upgrade.

Security enhancements
System optimizations have been made to improve Dragon’s security and resiliency.

User profile enhancements – New user profile locations
Previously, user profiles were located in the \ProgramData folder. To ensure that user profile data remains secure and access is restricted to the user or to an administrator, user profiles are now located in the %AppData% folder.

Fixed issues

MouseGrid issues
Dragon no longer terminates unexpectedly when you dictate MouseGrid commands without pausing before the number sequence.

Microsoft Outlook issues
Dragon no longer terminates unexpectedly when both the STP software add-in and Outlook add-in are active.

General issues
When you create a desktop shortcut and use Dragon to open it, the file now opens successfully.
The default hot key to transfer text from the Dictation Box to an application has changed. Previously, the default value was CTRL-Shift-T. In this release, the value is now Alt-T.
