ranger said:I seem to remember installing version 8 of dragon naturally speaking with 256MB of RAM. Worked fine. Maybe you can get the older version.
It would be a good idea to upgrade your RAM though. About 1 GB is normal nowadays. With how cheap memory is, why not go for 2GB. See here for typical prices:

Also version 9 requires a minimum 1GHz processor. Its reported that it won't install on anything less.

There are several potential reasons for this issue. It could be due to a lack of available RAM on your computer, an outdated or corrupted Dragon software installation, or conflicts with other programs running on your computer. It could also be caused by a malfunctioning microphone or audio input device.
The first step is to make sure your computer has enough available RAM to run Dragon software. You can also try updating your Dragon software to the latest version or reinstalling it if the issue persists. Checking for conflicts with other programs and ensuring your microphone or audio input device is functioning properly may also help resolve the issue.
No, a slow internet connection should not affect the RAM usage of your Dragon software. However, if you are using cloud-based features of the software, a slow internet connection may cause delays or errors in those features.
If the error occurs during a dictation, you can try repeating the phrase or sentence. If the error persists, try closing any unnecessary programs and freeing up your computer's RAM. You can also try using a different microphone or audio input device. If the issue continues, you may need to troubleshoot or seek technical support for your Dragon software.
To minimize the chances of encountering this error, make sure your computer meets the minimum system requirements for running Dragon software and has enough available RAM. Keep your software up to date and avoid running other memory-intensive programs while using Dragon. Additionally, regularly checking for conflicts and keeping your audio input device in good working condition can help prevent this error.
