Problem
Dragon for Mac 5 stability issues with Mac OS X El Capitan
Cause
Dragon for Mac 5 is not fully stable with the new Mac OS X El Capitan
Solution
Update Dragon for Mac 5 to Dragon for Mac 5.0.2 Build 13623
This update addresses the following issues:
- issues affecting commands for customers who have upgraded from Dragon Dictate for Mac version 4
It also includes fixes that were previously released in Dragon for Mac 5.0.1
These fixes included:
- Compatibility with OS X El Capitan
- Overlapping text in the Status Window
- Displaying an incomplete list of correction choices
- Correction appears blank or flashes choices quickly
- Internal errors when creating or upgrading a profile
- Commands are read-only for Australia, New Zealand, India, and Singapore profiles
- Issues using bullet lists
- Readability of text situated in the Info area of the Status Window
- Stability improvements switching between Transcription and Dictation
- Issues with keyboard shortcuts
It would be useful to have a separate downloadable file as I cannot open v5.0 in OS10.11 in order to update. So I updated the app on my laptop and copied to my imp with 10.11. Now Dragon opens, at least, but will not allow me to load a profile – and that only after starting the iMac in safe mode. Some more work needed I think – or at least a workaround.
