Well, I've loaded a couple of files, then played one (pushed the "Play" button), after which time (when the end of the file is reached...I put my computer on mute) the transcribed text appeared in the Notes window. This was when I had MS Speech Recognizer 8.0 as the only speech recognition engine loaded on my machine.
After I loaded Dragon NS 10.0, it became available in ES and I selected it in the Options --> Speech to Text, added a new User ID and profile, then ran (pushed the "Play" button) on a new file, just like I did last time.
The file played all the way through, but nothing showed up in the Notes area except the default text (<Type notes for the currently selected dictation here>).
Any ideas?
