Nuance NaturallySpeaking on 256 MB of RAM?

without comments

Dragon NaturallySpeaking cannot be run on 256 MB of RAM. The official system requirements are 512 MB of RAM and any modern processor. However, to be able to use the software effectively, you will need at least 2 GB of RAM. You will also need a dual core processor to see better results. Apart from these, you’d also require a high-quality microphone for maximum accuracy and efficiency.

If your computer has only 256 MB of RAM, you won’t be able to install the software at all. While installation, the software checks if your computer meets the minimum requirements. You will not be able to go beyond the installation menu. In such cases, you have two options — either upgrade your computer or use an older version of the software. On 256 MB of RAM, you can satisfactorily run Dragon NaturallySpeaking version 7 or 8.
