everything to run DD 3.0.4. Unfortunately, DD 3.0.4 freezes when I do certain things. There is a post on the Nuance forum from an experienced user that identifies many of the situations where DD 3.0.4 freezes.</div><div><br></div><div>So DD 3.0.4 does not "crash" on Mavericks for me. It does however freeze way too often on Mavericks. When this happens I have to get someone to come and do a force quit for me.</div><div><br></div><div>I have upgraded the Mavericks computer to version 10.9.2 but I haven't retested DD to see if it still freezes. Unfortunately, I'm too reliant on DD to have a freezing problem with DD. Until Nuance fixes the incompatibility with Mavericks, I'm forced to stay on Mountain Lion.</div></div></div></div><br>_______________________________________________<br>MacVoice mailing list<br><a ymailto="mailto:MacVoice@listserver.themacintoshguy.com"
