Will Dragon Naturally Speaking in windows vbox on ubuntu 16.04 machine?












1















Following up on this post by Joe so I can tag it with DNS.



I'm in the same situation -- only want win for DNS. Personally, I'm not interested in controlling a desktop (as in this post). I liked DNS under win just to create content in the dictation box and then copy to Writer or an email and do formatting there. Not a full use of DNS, but it was an advantage over typing.



I saw the poor ratings for DNS in WineHQ. I hadn't heard of Playonlinux until today -- you need both that and wine on ubuntu? I don't understand either answer to this post.



I had a good experience trying ubuntu on a vbox under win (and therefore switched to ubuntu-only).



So I'm wondering how well DNS (any version) works in a win vbox on an unbuntu physical box before spending hours installing vbox and DNS (will my old license work?) -- and playonlinux? -- only to find that it doesn't work.



Does anyone run DNS successfully in a win vbox on an ubuntu machine (16.04)? If so, does it at least allow you to use the dictation box as above, and how did you set it up?
