scrolled into view. [PSP00070158]

default has not been changed and, if not explicitly disabled, DM360 Direct
will register the add-in when the application is started. [PSP00071466]
When disabled, DM360 Direct will not try to register the
add-in and dictation at the cursor in Microsoft Word-based applications will
only work if the add-in was previously registered. To disable automatic
registration, edit the SoD.exe.config file to include the following
configuration section:
<setting name="RegisterWordAddIn"
serializeAs="String">
<value>False</value>
</setting>

of Epic Hyperspace. [PSP00074011]
Release notes for Dragon Medical 360 | Direct 1.5
New features
Select & say voice commands
Select & say introduces new commands that enable end users to navigate,
select and correct text via voice. Selection commands enable users to select
text or text ranges by saying the text they want to highlight; once highlighted
they can correct via over-dictation, typing or selecting recognition/formatting
alternatives. For more information, see the end user help.
Step-by-step voice commands
Step-by-step commands replace the personal custom command feature introduced
in DM360 Direct 1.4. Step-by-step commands offer richer functionality and enable
end users to create macros using simple building blocks. Existing personal
custom commands will be automatically upgraded to step-by-step commands when
users log on to DM360 Direct for the first time. The Manage Commands
dialog box is opened from the DM360 Direct application menu.
Undo voice commands
Users can use the new undo and redo voice commands to revert changes to editor contents.
How these commands behave depends on the text control's built-in undo
functionality. Not all applications support multi-level undo/redo
functionality.
Improvements
Text size: Increased performance of DM360 Direct in documents with a large
amount of template data or dictated text.
Important information
Scratch that
The way the scratch that voice command works has
been changed. Scratch that now removes sections of text as they were inserted
into the application for dictated text and single words for typed text.

End-of-life: Third party environments
Support for third party environments is only valid as long as they are
supported by the corresponding vendor and might be subject to other
restrictions. Please contact Nuance Technical Support for details. For more
information, see the documentation delivered with the third party product and
supporting Nuance documentation.
When support by the vendor has stopped, Nuance will continue support if an
issue is specific to the Nuance solution, within the limitations of the vendor’s
and Nuance's end-of-life policy. This means that issues that are a combination
of the vendor’s component and the Nuance solution cannot be
supported.
