Hello,
I've been using DNS13 for quite a while now and am pretty impressed with the performance. The only problem I have is that it tends to lag quite a bit. In my experience the software is nowhere near as responsive as it's portrayed in this video here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ImlKOA1MhlI&feature=player_detailpage#t=55 My guess is that the lag is due to having too many applications open at the same time. At anyone time I''m probably running:
MS Word
MS Excell
MS Outlook
Yahoo Mail app
Two browsers with around 15 tabs open each
Trados
TO3000
Windows Explorer
Skype
Background music (usually VLC)
Sharing media files with another computer
as well as all of the other stuff that Windows 10 runs in the background.
My computer has 8GB of RAM. According to the task manager I'm only utilising 5GB so there's still 3GB spare. In this case. why the lag?
Should I stick another 8GB of RAM in my machine to up it to 16GB? Would this make a difference?
Thanks,
Mark
Hi Mark,
I did a quick test using:
– Dragon Professional Individual (14) [speech model used: Far Field*, BestMatch V**, Vocabulary Large***]
– Windows 10 64-bit
– Laptop with i7, 32GB RAM, SSD
– Mic: SpeechWare 3-in-1 TableMike
This was with quite a few programs running in the background (Chrome: 25 tabs, Skype, CafeTran, CrashPlan pro, etc etc).

* it is important to use ‘far field’ (when creating your Profile; via the ‘Advanced’ option) if you are using a desktop mic!
** V is the heaviest (most computationally intensive) speech model; the older ‘IV’ is less taxing on your computer
*** ‘large’ vocab is supposed to be harder on your computer than ‘medium’
