Hello,

A while ago, I read on a post here that Dragon doesn't handle large sound files very well. After a certain point, it starts to slow down considerably and can lose information.

I know there's no exact answer for this, but I was wondering if anyone had a rough idea of how large (or long) a sound file can get before Dragon starts running into problems?

I'm talking about files created with the DS5000. I've transcribed fairly long (about an hour or so) files with no problems. These files came to somewhere between 12 and 15 megs, I think. Is that pushing the limit? 

Thanks

Thanks. I'm using an older laptop, so I'll keep the files to around 20-30 minutes.
