Dear Thunderbird and Mozilla Help, I've been a regular user of Thunderbird for years now, because of my inability to use my left hand to type and so I use Nuance's Dragon NaturallySpeaking Software to put text on screen with compatible softwares. Thunderbird has been a regular product I use regularly through many versions of Nuance, until this week when suddenly it stopped working. Interestingly enough, it also stopped working on OpenOffice, distributed by Apache Foundation. Nuance tells me that their product will not work with Thunderbird at all, yet I had used it for years now, as well as using OO as I mentioned. I have the latest version of Thunderbird installed I think at least, and was trying to use this version of OO, but they told me that the latest version of OO that they support is 8 versions ago. Could you please work with Nuance to make your Thunderbird compliant with the latest version of Nuance version 15,PDI and continue to do so for future versions? Richard. ... ...-...-.... ... ...

Nuance can do what they like, basically they have never had a very good coverage of anything but Mictisift office.

Thunderbird is moving down a path of changing all of it's interface components to web technologies, so things will actually be more browser like with lists and dialogs created using browser languages and tools. So in he medium term it will work better I would assume as there would be no longer any of the Mozilla custom XUL components. _________________________________

I just enabled windows speech to text on Windows 10 and I'm writing this document using windows native speech to text.

It is a little jerky, but I think it types with less errors than I do and it may well be faster over all. So I think the problem is with dragon.
