Note: If you are upgrading from NaturallySpeaking V6 or V7.0 to NaturallySpeaking V8 the upgrade
initially creates a dragon.log file in same location as the relocated \Data and \Users directories (see the
locations describe in “” on page ). This initial dragon.log is a log of the upgrade from V6 ot V7.0 to V8.
Once you start using NaturallySpeaking V8, the dragon.log is maintained as described in the
"Changed file locations" section and can be viewed using the new Dragon NaturallySpeaking Tools
start menu choice.
