Release notes for Dragon Medical One Desktop Application 3.2 (3.2.100.1517)
Improvements
Application support
- The Athena Streamlined application, hosted in Google Chrome, is now supported (be aware that the latest version of the Google Chrome extension is required). [SOD-6762]
- In Internet Explorer-based applications voice focus anchoring is currently not support (due to technical reasons); Dragon Medical One will now prevent the voice focus from being anchored to Internet Explorer-based applications to eliminate side effects. The end user is notified of this limitation the first time they try to anchor the voice focus in the current session. [SOD-6737]
- Standard text controls hosted in the Google Chrome browser are now supported. To provide support for Google Chrome text controls and recording at the cursor, in Google Chrome based applications, the Dragon Medical One Web Extension must be installed in the browser.
To install the extension, browse for the Google Chrome web store link https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/dragon-medical-one-web-ex/feolagkacappiaieohahjkeaikhjjcfa and add the extension to your Google Chrome installation by using the Add to Chrome button. Once installed and enabled, Dragon Medical One will support dictation at the cursor in Google Chrome-based applications.
Although Dragon Medical One can communicate with Google Chrome text controls and applications, general support for applications cannot be guaranteed and requires specific verification.
Please note that for technical reasons, Dragon Medical One and the Dragon Medical One Web Extension (Google Chrome) utilize a dedicated process (sodria_nmhost.exe) for communication between the two applications – this process is delivered with Dragon Medical One and is started by Google Chrome. To function properly, Google Chrome and Dragon Medical One rely on a registry setting stored in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER hive which is written to by Dragon Medical One at application start-up to connect the two applications. If the registry setting is not set up properly and Dragon Medical One updated it during start-up, the end user will be prompted to restart Google Chrome if it's currently running.
Virtual server environments
- An optimized audio channel for VMware published application environments is now supported as part of the Nuance Virtual Add-ins packages. [SOD-6453]
- Nuance PowerMic II and Nuance PowerMic III device buttons for VMware Desktop and VMware published application environments are now supported as part of the Nuance Virtual Add-ins packages. [SOD-6454]
- Set-ups that utilize anonymous operating system users running the SoD.exe process, or running the SoD.exe process using the same operating system user, across multiple terminal server sessions are now supported. Previously, if Dragon Medical One detected an SoD.exe process running for the same operating system user, a second invocation of Dragon Medical One in another terminal server session did not succeed. [SOD-6885]
General
- The archive names of the Virtual Server Extension packages have been changed; make sure to update any deployment scripts in place in your organization if you relied on file names for deployment. The new archive names are:
NuanceCitrixExtensions.zip
NuanceRDSExtensions.zip
NuanceVMWareExtensions.zip
NuanceThirdPartyDeviceDrivers.zip
- The time it takes to open the Manage Step-by-step Commands and Manage Auto-texts dialog boxes and display information for end users with a large number of commands has been significantly reduced. [SOD-6891]
- Recording into embedded auto-text fields has been improved. The embedded field no longer collapses (field delimiters and text removed) if text is inserted into the embedded field via recording, without explicitly selecting one of the embedded field delimiters or the full embedded field; end users can make corrections in the embedded field-content prior to finalizing the field (field complete) or finalizing all fields (accept defaults). [SOD-7165, DNB-7535]
Solved Issues
General
- Dragon Medical One now correctly handles settings for users who were manually created in Nuance Management Center; opening the Options dialog box no longer causes an error message to be displayed and the field delimiters settings are no longer empty. [SOD-6646]
- When the user executes the voice command make that an auto-text, Dragon Medical One no longer loses line breaks in the selected text when the user saves the auto-text. [SOD-6779]
- The screen saver no longer activates during longer recording sessions. In virtualized environments, the screen saver is only prevented from activating on the end point if the Nuance virtual client audio extension is installed there. To benefit from this in virtualized environments, update the Nuance virtual server and client audio extensions to version 26.0.7.0. The screen saver cannot be prevented from activating when using Nuance PowerMic Mobile as the input device in virtualized environments. [SOD-6820]
- Nuance PowerMic Mobile is now paired correctly when Dragon Medical One is started from the command line, without setting the working directory explicitly to the Dragon Medical One deployment location .([OD-6833]
- It no longer takes a long time for users with a large number of step-by-step commands to log on. [SOD-6882]
- The Dictation Box no longer opens when trying to train a word via the Manage Vocabulary dialog box, after it is used and closed. (Not relevant for SpeechMagic-based systems) [SOD-7007, DNB-7356]
Dragon Medical Advisor
Infrastructure
- Dragon Medical Server 3.0 (or higher) is required.
- Nuance Management Server 5.5 (or higher) is required.
- Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5 (or higher) is required.
- Internet Explorer version 11 is required.
- Virtualized environments: To use Dragon Medical One in a Citrix XenApp/XenDesktop, Microsoft RDS or VMware Horizon View environment, install the corresponding Nuance virtual extension (version 25.0.22.1) on the client PC and on the server/virtual desktop where Dragon Medical One is installed.
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.
