[Athen] installing AT on Surface Pro 3

[Robert Beach]

Good point.  The student only knows that he has a Surface Pro 3 with 128 GB.  I’m guesing that is the I3 processor, but that’s just a guess.

Hi All:

When you respond on this thread, it please confirm the model (3 vs. Pro 3) and the processor.

•         Surface 3 (Intel Atom processor) with Windows 8.1

•         Surface Pro 3 (Intel i3, i5, or i7) With Windows 8.1 Pro

This will be particularly important if some of the AT works on certain models and not others.

Thanks,
Todd

Hi all,

This issue’s seem strange to me. I own a Surface Pro 3. It is a fully functional laptop with windows 8.1 Pro, 4 GB of memory, and a Core i3 processor (i3-4020Y).

The DNS issue may be due to the audio card or the onboard graphics card (Intel HD Graphics 4200/4400).  I’m not sure What “apps aren’t built to support Surface Pros” is supposed to mean. Are their apps not meant to be installed on laptops or desktops with low grade specs?

Sincerely,
Joe

Hello,

Funny, I just tried to load Dragon Naturally Speaking v. 13 onto a student's Surface Pro 3 yesterday and ran into the same problem. We received an error message and were not able to load it. I am in the process of contacting Nuance today. There is very little information on their website, or at least that I could find.

Hi Robert,

I’ve tried installing Claro Read onto a student’s Surface Pro and unfortunately it was not able to load. Claro Software later informed me that their apps aren’t built to support Surface Pros or similar products at this time.

All the best,

Hi all,

Have any of you tried installing assistive tech such as Read&Write on a Surface Pro 3?  If so, what technologies did you use and how did that go?

Thanks.
