Dragon Professional & Legal NZ Group v15.6 Update

Advice from Nuance Product Management is below. Please note this release has not yet been tested with the ANZ vocab installers.

The DPG 15.6 Service Pack has now been released and uploaded to Nuance Network in all languages, and is ready to download now from network.nuance.com. This service pack release is applicable to all languages, and will upgrade all current v15.5 customers using any version of the product (DPG, DLG).

• Dragon Professional Group, VLA only
• Dragon Legal Group, VLA only

WHAT UPDATES ARE INCLUDED IN VERSION 15.6? 

The major updates included in the v15.6 release include:

• Various fixes, product improvements, and security updates.
• Performance improvements with Microsoft Outlook
  • Dragon now works as expected when using the third party STP software add-in in Outlook
• More streamlined Google Analytics tracking and reporting for Office add-ins.
• Changes to Google Analytics usage data collection:
  • The user will no longer see an option to have speech data collected during the onboarding process (since research doesn’t currently use this data for product improvements).
  • The user will see a separate onboarding message requesting permission for Google Analytics event tracking, which does not include any speech data.
    • We are expecting a higher percentage of users granting this permission after removing references to collect speech data. This will help us more accurately track product usage and use analytics to drive future product improvements.

WHO SHOULD UPDATE TO VERSION 15.6? 

All volume licensing customers currently running an earlier version of Dragon Professional Group, Dragon Legal NZ Group (such as 15.0, 15.3, or 15.4 or 15.5) should upgrade to v15.6.
