Dragon Dictate headset not recognized by V3

The usb headset came with Dragon Dictate v3. After defining the Profile and proceeding to Training, I am instructed that I need to attach the headset!!!
I have been a user of Dragon Dictate since its inception ... it isn't me!
Frustrated Chuck

Linc,
Thanks for your response. Yes, other USB devices do work. Checked the Dragon microphone on System Preferences > Sound. The output was bad unless the Alert Volume was at max ... and even then not loud. Input was low.
I do have another Dragon microphone and that works fine as per System Preferences > Sound! Tried to use it with Dragon Dictate with same results as in my query.
In a related issue, I also have a Sennheiser microphone which has superb audio characteristics but is not USB. I used it for many years, since Dragon Dictate was released. Now, however, Dragon dictate gives the same respoinse as above.????
Any input or suggestions?
Chuck

Why is logitech 350 usb headset not recognized by my MBP?

I have a Logitech Premium USB Headset 350 that is not recognized (at all) by my fairly new MBP, which is running OS X Lion 10.7.5. I have run all of the available software updates but the headset it still not recognized as an input or output device (under system preferences). When I plug it into my old PC (Dell Inspiron) it is recognized immediately and works perfectly. Can you please help me with this? I really want to me able to use the headset on my MBP.
I have emailed Logitech several times and they have been unhelpful!

Either read the headset user manual or contact the vendor. You should also try posting in the Bluetooth forum area.

Satellite L650 - Microphone of headset not recognized

Hello,
On my L650 I'm trying to use a headset, the headphone socket is ok, the problem is the microphone socket when I plug external microphone it cant be found in recording devices only the on board microphone shows up.
Cheers
Gavin

Hey,
Have you tested the headset on another computer already? Just to make sure the microphone and cable of headset works properly and doesnt cause this problem.
I often use the headset on my notebook but its always recognized as usual. Its listed in recording devices (right click on speaker in taskbar > Recording devices).
But if not a sound driver update could help in this case. ;)

Error: USB Headset not recognized

HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC WV703AV
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium - 64bytes
Error: No error... just not working
Hello, I just bought an USB headset SOMIC and after plugging it to the PC I realize it wasn't working. At the beginning I got mad thinking that it was about the headset, however after testing it in several computers with different Operative Systems(windows 7 x64, windows XP x32 & x64) I realize that actually they worked perfectly... so whats is coming on with my PC? - I thought.
I tried by doing the following:
    1st - Changing it of USB Port - I tried the 4 of them.
    2nd - Updating the sound Drivers.
    3rd - Installing the Headset's drivers.
    4th - Downloading & Reinstalling the sound drivers.
    5th - Disabling the computers drivers in order to only use the headset's drivers.
I am getting so angry that I am planning to reinstall my OS, however before doing it I would like to know if you could help me in this matter . It is clear that it is ABOUT THE USB CONDITION OF THE HEADSET as I have others with normal connectors and they work perfectly. Moreover, I JUST REALIZE that AUDIO BEATS monitor the sound settings and it has NO USB CONNECTOR COMPATIBILITY (only HDMI or NORMAL MALE CONNECTORS).
So I tried disabling/uninstalling HP BEATS however it doesn't appear anywhere. Now I dont know what can I do to sort out this issue I am having please help me before I burned my PC . Pleasee I really need your help.
I look forward to hearing from you, thanks in advance.
Santiago.

I too have this problem. Bump.

Maverick Dictation- or Dragon dictate-Which is better?

I've used Dragon dictate products since 2005 on PC's and then Macs. I want to know any advantages in switching to Maverick Dictation. Please advise.

I have been using Dragon Dictate for some time. The initial training took about half an hour, after which it had a very high accuracy rate in recognizing my own voice. I appreciated being able to specify the accent of which English I was speaking -- North American mid north continent -- or something like that. It got pretty close to the general accent of English as spoken in Manitoba, and the voice training seemed to round out the fine details. It did not train for slang expressions, such as our habit of ending many phrases with "eh?", but I suppose I could train it to do so, eh?
I liked that Dragon Dictate did not have to go back to a central server somewhere every time I wanted to use it. As I recall, it gave me an 'enhanced" option similar to the Mavericks option.
I am still learning how to enter the command mode and easily switch back and forth between dictate mode and command mode. The dictation is very easy. The commands take a significant learning curve.
I appreciate also that I can dictate text into almost any app, document, spreadsheet, web page, and so on. I had a lot of typing to do (and I type about 80 words a minute), and decided that I needed to learn to use my voice to dictate text, in addition to simply typing. I talk slightly faster than I can type. Being naturally long-winded, dictating text fills up more space than typing words.
I will be testing Mavericks Dictate in the near future to get a better idea of how the two compare.

Trouble with mic on dragon dictate?

i am having problems with my macbook running 10.9.1 using dragon dictate headset, mic keeps saying not connected.

It's a generic Dragon USB mic that works fine on my Powerbook, so I'm not convinced the problem lies with the mic as such . . .

X7 headset is not recognized after Belle update

Hi,
afters Belle update my original headset is not recognized by Nokia X7, can't listen to music or radio. The icon is not visible.
Headset is 100% ok, I tried it on different phone and works fine.
After hard reset is starts working but after unplugged and plugged one again it is still not working. Another hard reset didn't help.
Also tried accessories settings in settings menu - changing profiles and other setting - didn't help.
Any ideas?
Regards

Same problem here too.
Updated to Belle and tried to listen to my music using the original nokia x7 headsets and the music plays only from the speakers too. Tried the headsets on my brother's nokia x7 updated to belle too and they worked fine. Others headsets also didnt work in my nokia x7 but they did in my brother's. I tried to reinstall Belle, restore orinigal settings several times and it didn't work.
Think i just gonna have to sent my phone to the SAT

IPhone 3GS Not Recognizing Bluetooth Headset

I am having no luck pairing my iPhone 3GS to my Jabra Jawbone bluetooth headset. The headset worked fine for the past couple of years with my original iPhone but is not recognized by my new iPhone.
I power up the headset and open Settings > General > Bluetooth and then select "On". What I would expect to see is my device show up, select it, and enter the passcode to pair the device to the phone. However, under "Devices" it just says "Searching" with the spinning graphic to the right. Any suggestions?

I'm an idiot...I was holding down the wrong button on my headset... If you find yourself with this problem, just make sure to google how to pair your particular headset and you should be fine.

Caps Dictation Commands Not Working Anymore

I used to be able to say "all caps" and have dictation capitalize the following word or say "caps on" and have dictation capitalize the first letter of each word. Recently it started just typing out all caps or caps on. This leads me to believe it's recognizing my words correctly but not recognizing them as commands. Anyone else having this issue or have thoughts on a solution?
Thanks,
Dave

Well, yes and no...
Yes, they are separate in that dictation lives on some devices w/o Siri. But not the other way around. I.e. On my iPhone 4S, there's a single switch in Settings>Siri which is on or off.
If you turn Siri off, the dictation mic icon in the keyboard is gone. Dictation is turned off as a system-wide option. You can still use a speech-to-text app such as Dragon to dictate.
I believe that it was revealed that Nuance was involved in the speech recognition engine that runs both Siri and the iOS dictation.
But I'm with you: I used the free Dragon dictation app for almost two years on my iPhone 4. And while like you, I like it, it's no where near as convenient as having dictation in any place the keyboard appears.
I spent a lot of time with the highest level of Apple support last time, when turning Siri off & on fixed the problem with the caps (and spaces) commands in dictation. Not this time. And I did lose some of the training.

Can the Mavericks dictation and speech app coexist with Dragon Dictate?

I just turned on the dictation and speech app. I already had dragon dictate installed. Now nothing works for dictation. Can they exist together? How? Thanks for the help.

I too have Dragon Dictate. There appear to be some low-level device driver conflicts between Mavericks Dictate and Dragon Dictate, especially when using the Plantronics BT300 wireless headset. The Plantronics BT300 unit has a pre-paired bluetooth USB attachment that connects with the wireless headset.
Usually the Dragon Dictate software works when I launch it.
When I try to use the BT300 headset with certain other apps, sometimes it hangs.
In particular, when using GoToMeeting, the Plantronics BT300 microphone works, but the Plantronics BT300 audio does not work. I am able to use the built-in Mac speakers on my iMac to receive the audio.
In trying to set up the BT300 headset for both microphone and audio output to the BT300 headset, the system displays the "beach ball" for lengthy periods of time. A couple of times the entire iMac system hung, and I had to do a force power-off, then reboot.
Today was the first time I attempted to turn on the Mavericks Dictate. The entire system appeared to slow down around the attempt to use the Plantronics BT300 headset. I will next turn off Dragon Dictate, and see if Mavericks Dictate will accept the BT300 unit.
I have also a wired Plantronics headset, and will unhook the bluetooth headset and plug in the wired headset and see if that combination works any better.
Just to complicate things, I have also installed Parallels Desktop for Mac (and keep it updated to the current version and update level for Mavericks). Parallels has a virtual audio adapter, and I have NOT yet tried using either version of Dictate with a Windows guest operating system.
Advice and comments are appreciated.

Problems using Dragon Dictate for Mac.

I used Dragon Naturally Speaking for years on my PC. Switched to an IMac. Dragon for Mac leaves a lot to be desired - training, recognizing, editing. Any suggestions about how to improve performance or other voice recognition software for Mac users? I dictate a lot of reports using MS Word.

First of all I have no expertise in installing programs if they are problematic, I can only pass on my experience which relates to trying to purchase and install an Upgrade from MacSpeech Dictate 1.5 to Dragon Dictate 2.5 and the past experience I have had with MacSpeech, the company before Nuance.
The 800-number doesn't get you to Technical Support and I think I was hung up on as well. The wait for technical support was about 10 minutes. If you are paying for the phone call by the minute that could be costly.
Technical Support
781-565-4960
The tech was patient and his directions were easy to follow. He logged into my screen using Join Me and if you find that too invasive, it may also be a reason not to continue with Dictate.
Do I understand that you purchased a physical copy of the program on disk? Was it as an Upgrade that Nuance shipped to you? And it wouldn't let you register the product? The other criticism I had of MacSpeech and it seems to have carried on to Nuance was that the matter of accounts and registration accounts can be a forest.
The website to register the program is www.macspeech.com/licenses/. (There is another site for registering other Nuance products but it doesn't recognize your account for products that have been registered on the MaSspeech site.).To register the product you will need to set up an account (not an uncommon process) but that account will not be the way you access the download if you purchase the product by digital copy.If you purchase the program as a physical copy, I would suggest you register the product before you start installing but it really shouldn't be necessary because the program will prompt you to register if the install goes well.
I can't recall which identification they asked for when I called technical services - the product code, the order number, or my registration account but I was prepared with all of them.
Once you do register a program, the code can be accessed in the future if you keep track of the account and website on which you registered it. I see there is also an option which downloads the code to your computer but heaven-knows-where it is stored. On some other programs the code is stored in the application icon menu. My account on the Macspeech registration website stores the codes for 3 programs I have had since Nuance took over from MacSpeech.
If you have purchased a physical copy and the registration site I listed above won't let you register it, I would call the 800-number which is
Customer Service
800-654-1187
What I was trying to do was purchase the Upgrade of Dragon Dictate 2.5 as the result of an email offer because I was a previous customer of MacSpeech Dictate 1.5. The website only seemed to offer to send me a physical copy with shipping of either $24 or $30 to Canada. When I decided I wouldn't buy the Upgrade because of the shipping cost, I found that I couldn't remove the item from the shopping cart and eventually couldn't even access the shopping cart. When I called the 800-number to complain they told me there was a problem on the website which wasn't offering the download which was my preference. They offered to sell me the digital download over the phone which I could then retrieve from the website www.findmyorder.com with the login which asks for the order number and a password (which I think was assigned when I placed the order, but as I said, registration, download access, etc can be a forest and I was very confused by this time.)
At the www.findmyorder.com website, there were two files to download, the program for 2.5 and the data disk. When I tried to install the program and the data, the process started going around in circles asking for things over and over again.I wondered what I was doing wrong (a common reaction) so I tried to install the program on another computer. The install on the second computer was easy and although I hadn't yet registered the product the program prompted me to register it. It also updated to 2.5.1 (although I only am aware of that in retrospect.) So I went back to the first computer and tried to install again. The same problem happened. At one point I exceeded the number of downloads which is 5 because I was trying to get rid of downloads that didn't seem to be working. I called the 800-number and without too much difficulty, the person reset the downloads. But the same thing happened, with the program asking for the data disk. That is when I called Tech Support.
After the tech showed me where to retrieve 2.5.1 from their website (because he said 2.5 was buggy) and I reinstalled the data disk from the www.findmyorder.com website, the install worked well. BTW I found it hard to understand on the www.findmyorder.com download website which file was which. I got very confused and ended up not getting the data disk. The program disk image which is listed second is called Dragon_Dictate_Englishes.2.5.dmg. The data file listed first is Dragon_English_Data2.5dmg. You need both files normally but if you are getting the 2.5.1 file, I don't believe you have to have installed 2.5 first.
In retrospect I may have not understood how to install the two files - the program file and the data file but I can't remember exactly what was happening. By that time I was pretty lost.
Back to MacSpeech Dictate 1 or 1.5, I assumed that I would have to have this installed on my computer in order to install the Upgrade of Dragon Dictate 2.5. Remember, I was trying to install 2.5 on a new computer. Although I had done this before I tried to purchase the Upgrade 2.5 (because the computer was new and MacSpeech 1.5 hadn't been installed on it yet), I am not sure it was necessary.
There didn't seem to be any "secret codes" that hadn't to be removed first. You may be talking about old or corrupted plist files which sometimes interfere with applications. The tech just told me to drag any 2.5 applications to the trash after we got off the phone, of which by now I had about 5 on the computer. I have had old versions on a previous computer and they never seemed to interfere with one another. I think I still have iListen 1.0 on a very old computer as well as every fresh version and upgrade.
I hope this reply wasn't too long and didn't add to the confusion. As I said in the first message, the criticisms are well founded. Installing MacSpeech iListen and accessing services has been a minefield from the beginning and it isn't improving. For someone interested in easy-to-use voice recognition I would suggest the Dragon Dictate app for an iPad or iPod Touch. Works wonderfully but it has very limited features.
My husband, who has physical disabilities but until recently could type better than MacSpeech Dictate was working for him and didn't have a computer that would work with MacSpeech Dictate, has been using Dragon Dictate 2.5.1 on his new computer without a microphone for a couple of days. He believes there is hope, although with past versions he was frustrated after an hour and quit. One new thing in Dragon Dictate 2.5 is that editing on the keyboard before you finish the document does not mess up further voice input. He continues to struggle with voice control (a good exercise for the voice) and his tendency to talk as if there he has a secretary taking shorthand. You really do have to talk to the computer in a conversational way, speaking in full sentences or full phrases if possible, not in separate words.
From iListen 1.0 I kept saying that voice recognition would work well for everyone. It has been a long road but I can see on the horizon that it will be available for everyone. The iPad/iPod app is close.

5th Gen Ipod not recognized by windows or itunes. Have tried it all. Any Ideas?

Hello everyone. I have a 5th generation Ipod I recently purchased that I'm having what seems to be an common issue. When I connect the ipod to my computer via USB, the Ipod is not recognized in windows or Itunes. Occasionally the Ipod will charge when connected but not always. Though this is the same for the old wire I used and the new one I purchased today. Even when shown charging the Ipod is not recognized and there is no noise that a device has been connected. I have tried the 4 R's (without Restore) which I can't do, chaninging the drive letter, disabling start up software,uninstalling and reinstalling all Apple Software. I have tried connecting to another computer and have gotten the same result. When I check the diagnostic screen on the ipod it shows that a usb cable is detected. I have upgraded all my driver software, disabled and reenabled them. I'm almost 3 hours from the nearest store so that it out of the question. I'm curious if anyone has any other ideas and will try anything you think might be the issue and fix. Thank you for time.

From my experience, the only way you're gonna get a PC afflicted with this disease to work with a 5th gen nano is to roll back to an earlier version of iTunes. Those affected have been exhausted by this ongoing issue. To update or not to update? And I always say never update unless you have to, and turn off all that auto update mess!
I have two core2duo lappies running 32b vista. My workflow dictates 32b fyi. One is acer aspire running itunes v 11.1 (.0.126), 5th gen nano was originally formatted and works just fine on this machine to this day. My other is the bigger badder lenovo thinkpad and the 5th gen will NOT mount using any version of itunes past 11.0 (.1.12) Windows mounts it just fine. itunes is not having it. no shirt no shoes no service.
I have both a 4th and 5th gen nano. The 4th gen works great on both machines, I even successfully tested it with the latest version (11.1.5) before subsequent deletion on the thinkpad! Weird huh? I think my next experiment might be to restore my 5th gen w/ a Mac and theeeeen plug it into PC itunez.
I'm at a loss on the thinkpad. Scanned for intruders. Cut the Lenovo bloat. Executed system and reg maintenance. Took down msconfig to a safe mode + itunes level to attempt to resolve possible sw conflicts but to no avail. NO NO NO. Every single dang port, every time on the thinkpad. Has me feeling like others might get the same treatment by the next itunes update. :|
So in summary for me:
5th gen nano and thinkpad are a NoGo on 11.1^ last working version for me = 11.0.1
5th gen nano is working on an acer aspire 11.1.0 but no way in the world am I updating
4th gen nano is kicking 5th gen nano's @zz so what would make me want to buy a new ipod?

I have Dragon Dictate but did not notice until now that the earphone jack is only for listening so I cannot dictate using headphones and the mic on the computer is not good enough for that. A friend gave me a USB card that says 3D Sound on top; it is a plastic case, charcoal gray in color and side jacks to connect headphone and mic. Connected to computer but it does not do a thing. Any ideas on how to make it work?

You are not supposed to connect a pair of speakers(as in left and right in a stereo pair)to two separate out jacks on the sound card.the place on the card where headphones/speakers with the mini jack goes is the right place.
