Does anyone use Power BI with speech recognition, specifically Dragon?

[Dragon496]

I am part of a small team, who are beginning to develop with Power BI. I can only operate my computer by using Dragon Professional Individual ver 15.3. I am having some issues with software and some compatibility issues. I know this is a long shot but I am just wondering whether there are any other users out there, in the same position would like to share tips and ideas? I have posted this, on a speech recognition forum, but I have had no responses. Thanks

Hey Dragon496, I hope you have found this other post before now - but just incase other people come here for help; apparently Cortana used to help bridge a gap between power bi and dragon (I think you needed to be using the desktop viewer too) - however someone has said the compatibility hasn't been maintained and so something called Cistera might help. I hope you find a solution.

Unfortunately, I don't think that idea will help me. My experience is that tools like Windows speech recognition or Cortana are useful to reduce keyboard work, where as owing to my my disability, I need to stick with the Dragon as it can REPLACE the keyboard and mouse.

Apologies Dragon496; I understood you weren't going to shift from dragon to cortana as they are very different tools - but I think it used to be that you could combine the 2 so Cortana could describe the Power BI elements and help select them while you used Dragon for usual use. But that is no longer an option. I checked with my advisor and she said you would have to just use MouseGrid built into your Dragon software. 😞

Hi @Dragon496 

Currently, Dragon Professional Individual ver 15.3 may be not widely used in POWER BI.

And you may try to operate your computer by mouse and keyboard when you using Power Bi.
