The user issues a command to select or format multiple text matches of a single word - for example, "Select <text>" or "Bold <text>". When a user issues a command to select or format multiple text matches, Dragon temporarily freezes and displays the following error message: "COM returned and unexpected error code...(rpc_s_ CALL_FAILED, 1726)" When working without a network connection, when a user issues a command to format multiple text matches of a word, Dragon behaves as expected and does not produce an error message.

The user opens a pdf in Adobe Reader X 10.0.0. The user starts dictating into either Adobe Reador or another application.

A Dragon user can dictate while Adobe Reader X 10.0.0 is running without issues. Dragon behaves as expected and does not display an error message. During dictation, a user says "level" or "axis" followed by a number. For example the user says "Vitamin D level thirty". The expected dictation result is "Vitamin D level 30". Saying the word "level' or "axis" followed by a number results in the number being formatted as a roman numeral. For example, saying "Vitamin D level thirty" produces "Vitamin D level XXX" in dictation text. You must use the Vocabulary Editor to specify how numbers that follow the spoken word "level" or "axis" are to be treated. Dragon updates the vocabulary for a user profile as a Dragon user dictates and uses Dragon. Updates to the vocabulary causes the vocdelta.dat file to increase in size. When the vocdelta.dat file reaches a specific size, Dragon displays a message that tells the user to run acoustic optimization for the profile. When the user runs acoustic optimization against a user profile, Dragon replaces the current vocdelta.dat file with a new one. The message that tells the user to run optimization does not display again until the vocdelta.dat file has once again reached its pre-set upper limit. Dragon displays a message with the text "Too many changes to the vocabulary for user <name> have been 3
