Bug ID: 155090
Summary: Dragon Professional 16 not compatible with LibreOffice
Writer
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.5.2.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
I'm trying to use LibreOffice Writer with Dragon Professional 16, which was
released at the end of February. When it was released, Nuance, which makes
Dragon, touted its compatibility with LibreOffice. See, for example, this
statement issued by a reseller of Dragon:
https://assistive.co.nz/product/dragon-professional-individual/
(It appears that subsequently Nuance removed the reference to LibreOffice from
its list of applications that Dragon 16 is compatible with.)
Unfortunately, although I can dictate into LibreOffice Writer, I cannot select
the text in Writer by voice, which is known as Select-and-Say editing. Without
Select-and-Say, it's really not feasible to use LibreOffice Writer.
Surprisingly, Dragon 16 is completely compatible with Apache OpenOffice Writer,
with Select-and-Say working quite well. One difference may be that Apache
OpenOffice Writer seems to have a dedicated DLL file in Dragon,
dgnoowriter.dll, while I can't find any such file for LibreOffice Writer.
I'm wondering if there is a fix for this problem.
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open Dragon
2.Open Writer
3.Dictate into Writer, then try to select a word in the document
Actual Results:
No Select-and-Say
Expected Results:
Select-and-Say editing enabled
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
I acknowledge that this is not strictly speaking a bug in LibreOffice. I was
encouraged to file this report, however, by your account on the Fediverse,
