Dragon NaturallySpeaking version 6 Service Release 1

This Service pack should only be installed by users running Dragon NaturallySpeaking version 6 Professional, Medical, or Legal editions (see TIB # 3190). In order to ascertain which version and edition of Dragon NaturallySpeaking you are running:

    1. Launch Dragon NaturallySpeaking
    2. On the DragonBar, click on the "Help" menu
    3. Click "About NaturallySpeaking…"

The version number and edition will appear on the About Screen. If you do not have a "Help" Menu on your DragonBar or if a DragonBar is not part of your NaturallySpeaking program, then you do not have NaturallySpeaking version 6 Professional, Medical, or Legal editions. If you have a version or edition of NaturallySpeaking that this patch was not designed for, the installer will display a message and the installation will not continue.

To Install the Patch:

    1. Click on the following "Download now" hyperlink.
    2. Save the file "update.exe" to your PC.
    3. Run the file (by double-clicking it) to install the Service Release. You will not need to reboot your PC after the update runs.
