[Athen] Dragon Naturally speaking software

[Wink Harner]

Bryon et al ATHEN-ites,

Aside from having an internal sound card in the laptop, here are the specs
directly from Nuance on what's required.  Just double check to make sure
the system requirements are met.

If the laptop has a sound chip rather than an internal soundcard, the
student (or you) can get a microphone with a sound booster card built into
the headset mic.  I think Andrea offers several with a soundcard booster
built-in.

Minimum System Requirements:

    CPU: 2.2 GHz Intel® dual core or equivalent AMD processor
        Note: SSE2 instruction set required.
    Processor Cache: 512 KB
    Memory (RAM):
        32-bit: 2 GB for Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10 and Windows Server 2012.
        64-bit: 4GB  for Window 7, 8, 8.1, 10, Windows Server 2008 R2  and
Windows Server 2012 R2.
    Free hard disk space: 4GB (8GB for keycard and download installs)
    Supported Operating Systems:
        Windows 8 and 8.1 (32-bit and 64-bit Editions)
        Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (32-bit and 64-bit Editions)
        Windows 10 (32-bit and 64-bit Editions)
        Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 or higher (64-bit only
Edition)
        Windows Server 2012
    DVD-ROM drive (required for DVD installation).

Hope this helps!
