Not required, but very helpful, I heartily recommend NatLink and the Dragon Fly project.

When connected via USB, I don’t experience this problem. I suspect it’s a synchronization issue between sampling rates.

USB Microphone - I’ve found this to be a must: there is a weird audio-sync issue with Parallels Desktop (3.0, 4.0, and 5.0) where latency between what’s spoken and what’s received steadily increases as time goes on, giving the appearance that Dragon is running very slowly.

Network set to “Shared Networking” mode: this gives you a static IP address to your Mac Desktop, making it much easier to connect.

I have found much success with the following setup: When you create a connection to connect to your Macintosh desktop, you will need to disable the board transfer. This assists Dragon NaturallySpeaking to be able to “peak” at the text you are dictating via the clipboard.

Ctrl-c and Ctrl-v are remapped to Alt-v and Alt-c, because Alt in windows translates to Command on the mac, and such are the keys to copy and paste.

Video transport removed: The program won’t even request that video be sent, relieving the processor from the burden of having to compress it and send it over the TCP/IP connection.

It’s pretty much a hack, but I’m putting it out here just in case of somebody else might find it useful.

Added Ubuntu 22.This is a stripped down version of Tight VNC, with the purpose of allowing you to dictate with Dragon NaturallySpeaking running under parallels desktop into Macintosh applications over the VNC protocol.
