Dragon Naturallyspeaking 15 Review
Documentation enhancements
The Help content on Accuracy Tuning has been improved to better explain the importance and benefits of performing Accuracy Tuning.
General enhancements
Optional Google Analytics usage data collection
Previously, Dragon's optional Data Collection feature sent transcripts and audio data from your Dragon user profiles to Nuance through a scheduled task. In this release, audio data collection has been discontinued, and usage data is collected using Google Analytics.
Enabling the User Experience Collection feature collects Google Analytics metrics on how you use Dragon. Our researchers analyze the anonymized data to prioritize features and improve the performance and usability of future Dragon releases. This also leads to improved technical support and online help. No personal information is ever collected, and you can stop participating at any time.
If enabled, metrics are collected continually. As a result, the option to configure the scheduled task for Data Collection has been removed from the Administrative Settings>Scheduled Tasks tab.
You can opt in or out of User Experience Collection when you create your user profile, or at any time later on the Options dialog box—Data page.
For more information, see About User Experience Collection.
Installation/upgrade enhancements
Uninstalling Dragon no longer includes option to uninstall user profiles
When you uninstall Dragon, the uninstallation process no longer prompts you with the option to uninstall your user profiles automatically. Your user profiles now remain on your computer after uninstalling Dragon unless you remove them manually.
For information on uninstalling your user profiles manually, see Manually removing user profiles after uninstalling Dragon.
Upgrade process now uninstalls the previous version automatically
When you upgrade to Dragon version 15.5, the upgrade process now uninstalls your previous Dragon version automatically. You no longer need to uninstall your current Dragon version before you upgrade.

Security enhancements
System optimizations have been made to improve Dragon's security and resiliency.
