Support update

Change in support definitions

We've changed our support definitions for Dragon Legal Anywhere to more accurately describe how support is provided to releases. End of Life is now 24 months after the initial release date. When a product release becomes available, it is fully Supported for 12 months, then we provide Limited Support for 6 months. After another 6 months, the product reaches End of Life. The new definitions and an updated release version chart are included below.

If you are using an unsupported version, please contact support immediately for information on how to upgrade.

What's new

Wake word uses Microsoft Keyword Spotter

Dragon Legal Anywhere’s wake word feature now uses Microsoft Keyword Spotter to recognize keywords while offline in local and virtual environments. This upgrade reduces the chance of false positives by moving away from Cerence VoCon components.

Changes

Linux extensions deprecated

For maintenance and security reasons, there will be no future versions or security updates for Linux extensions. Users should instead use the Citrix native extension for Linux. Further details will be made available in end-of-life support information by mid 2025.

Improvements

Improved authorization security enforcement

We've implemented significant improvements in how credential information is managed post-authentication in Dragon Legal Anywhere. These changes are designed to bolster proper authorization across the stack, mitigating future threats and making sure that our authentication methods are effective.

Enhancements

Best practices and Auth0/MSAL libraries updated

When integrating with third-party authentication methods, Dragon Legal Anywhere now uses the latest version of the Auth0/MSAL libraries. This is in alignment with Microsoft security requirements.

Solved issues

General

Known issues

Functionality not included in the 2024.3 release

Use cases and functionality that are not supported

Applications and text control types that are not supported

VMware Horizon Agent 8

When having VMware Horizon Agent 8 installed, Dragon Legal Anywhere might not start again after the application has been closed. The issue has been fixed with the VMware Horizon 2111 release (Horizon Agent 8.4).

Screen saver not displayed

When working with a Philips SpeechMike or Nuance PowerMic 4 device, the screen saver is not displayed after the configured period of inactivity when recording is in standby mode.

To disable this behavior, press and hold the left mouse and touchpad buttons on the recording device for five seconds. When the firmware setting has been changed successfully, the device provides visual and audio feedback. This setting is stored on the device and needs to be changed individually on each device.

Best-effort support

If your environment does not meet the minimum requirements outlined, Nuance's ability to assist may be limited. This means that most functionality questions continue to be addressed, but if a bug is suspected or you are running into an issue that requires a technical investigation beyond known issues and fixes, we will recommend that you upgrade to the latest supported version. The following products fall into this best-effort support framework (this list is not comprehensive):

Third-party environments

Support for third-party environments is only valid as long as they are supported by the corresponding vendor and might be subject to other restrictions. Please contact Nuance Technical Support for details. For more information, see the documentation delivered with the third-party product and supporting Nuance documentation.

When standard support by the vendor has stopped, Nuance will continue support if an issue is specific to the Nuance solution, within the limitations of the vendor’s standard end-of-life and Nuance's policy. This means that issues that are a combination of the vendor’s component and the Nuance solution cannot be supported.
