Using ScanSoft's Dragon NaturallySpeaking


This article applies to:

  • Kurzweil 3000 for Windows version 7


Kurzweil 3000 version 7 will work with ScanSoft’s Dragon NaturallySpeaking Professional and Preferred version 7. Testing has been done on both programs together and we have found no issues with them working in tandem. For best results, have one handle Input and the other handle Output.

With these latest versions, you are now able to dictate into Notes and Sticky Notes, with the ability to vocally Tab from Note to Note. Also the ability to dictate into Footnotes has been added.

Unlike previous versions of both programs, there is nothing that you have to do to get them to work together. There are no special patches or programs that have to be run. The only recommendation we have is to install Kurzweil 3000 version 7 before installing NaturallySpeaking version 7.

If you have NaturallySpeaking Pro, you can import an optional component, Kurzweil 3000 Commands for NaturallySpeaking. This is done differently than in previous versions of NaturallySpeaking.

  1. Open the NaturallySpeaking Command Browser.

  2. Choose Manage.

  3. Click the Import button.

  4. Locate the file called, K3000Commands.dvc, at the following location: C:\Program Files\Kurzweil Educational Systems\Kurzweil 3000\Dragon

  5. Change the Files of Type to Legacy DVC.

  6. Click Open and the commands will be processed.

You can find a complete list of commands in the Appendix section of the Kurzweil 3000 Users Guide. Over time, we anticipate the addition of more commands.

ScanSoft has made their Global Command and Control more effective so there is no longer any need to alter any of the NaturallySpeaking .ini files to make this work.

Kurzweil and ScanSoft are in no way affiliated with one another. Kurzweil 3000 and NaturallySpeaking compatibility is a direct result of our ongoing commitment to providing our customers with access to as many other software packages as possible.
