Hi Eleanor, I'll keep that option in mind, but as you'll probably agree, it's always preferable to get information from the source directly. I'll have another go at contacting Nuance over the weekend, and if not first thing on Monday. Failing that, I'll look into other options. Thanks again for your time, _______________________________________ Have a pleasant day, Kind Regards and Best Wishes, Hussein.

Hello All, I'm in the process of sourcing and purchasing an upgrade to Dragon NaturallySpeaking 11 Professional. I'll be going ahead with the upgrade regardless as it has at least one feature which I do urgently need, but I was wondering if anyone knew whether it supports SAPI 5 based Text-to-Speech engines? I have a few here that don't work with Dragon 10 as it only supported SAPI 4. Nuance sales in the UK were unable to tell me the answer to the above, and the operator I spoke to didn't even know what a TTS was. I'm hoping to get hold of Nuance in the US tomorrow, but thought I'd also ask here as well. the best I've had so far is a "maybe", which I'm afraid for a purchase decision is less than helpful. Thanks in advance for your time. _______________________________________ Have a pleasant day, Kind Regards and Best Wishes, Hussein.
