9.0

Notes:

Coexistence with Dragon NaturallySpeaking SDK Client Edition Version 8 is not supported.

Upgrading from a previous version

You can upgrade from Dragon NaturallySpeaking Versions 7 and 8.

During an upgrade, the V9 upgrade procedure will ask you to:

 Remove the previous Dragon NaturallySpeaking installation. If you choose not to remove the previous

installation, you cannot continue to upgrade. Removing Version 7 or 8 will not remove your V7 or 8 speech

files and vocabularies.

 Migrate your existing user files and vocabularies to Version 9. If you choose not to upgrade your user files and

vocabularies during the upgrade, you can do so at a later time by running the Version 9 Upgrade Tool.

Once V9 is installed, your previous version will no longer be functional.

Note: The user files from previous versions remain untouched in case you decide to later reinstall the previous

version.

Edition considerations

You must upgrade to the same edition or higher and to the same language.

For example, if you started with Version 8 German/English and you upgrade to Version 9 English only, your

Version 8 German users will not be upgraded. Upgrading to Version 9 German/English will upgrade both your

German and English users. After upgrading, you can install other Version 9 languages.

Directory Changes

For information on changes to the directory structure when upgrading from Version 7 or 8, see Version 9 File

Structure.
