Paid updates
I have purchased Dragon NS since version 9 and I have barely used it. I have version 11.5 now. I have always hoped for good results from it, but did not do well with the program (I have an accent and did much better with the Spanish version) and hoped to have time to add words to it, etc, but it is very time consuming. The program does not allow for multiple versions to be installed. It uninstalls the previous version, which is fine with me. I am not sure if it allows for versions in two or more languages (such as English and Spanish) to be installed at the same time.
It seems like Nuance does not provide updates (or provides hardly any) and then sometime later asks you to buy the upgrade. This becomes expensive for some or many. I have not received notifications for updates since I purchased them. Each upgrade could cost $99 or more depending on the version and if it is an upgrade or the full version. It seems like Nuance does not provide updates and keeps selling upgrades. I have not purchased version 12 yet. I had more trouble with version 11.5 than with 9.5 because of the program trying to come up with words for little noises it hears. It became a hassle for me, slowed down my computer to a crawl, and I had to turn off the program every time.
