Nuance Dragon Naturallyspeaking Downloads:

Note: Since Naturallyspeaking V8, your NaturallySpeaking product will check the internet periodically for new Service Packs (UNLESS you turn off the automatic check); however, some of these downloads are large and should probably not be attempted on a slow (dial-up) connection.  If you are unable to download these files, we can send them to you on a CD for a media/handling fee of $10.00 (US). 

bulletNaturallySpeaking Version 9.5 Service pack is available for all NaturallySpeaking products.  Sometimes service packs are rather small and are downloadable, but in this service pack, there are many changes (most related to support of the new operating system Windows Vista) that the service pack is large.  Nuance has decided to basically send the customer the entire product on new CDs with the service pack integrated for a modest $9.95 service charge.  (You can download it too, but it is "huge" -- 1.0 to 1.86GB depending on version, so the download will take hours even on a high speed internet connection.  Even if you download it at first, we recommend getting the new factory CDs to have on hand in case you ever need to re-load...  You will need to have your V9 serial number handy and register the software, if you haven't already.)  Go to:   www.nuance.com/vista/
