Dragon Medical Practice Edition 4 now has an update available (Build 15.51.350.021). While you do not need to apply the update, it is best practice to do so.
This build is a full release and is used for a new installation or updating an existing installation.

DMPE 4 Update (4.3.1) Known Issues
| Summary | Description |
|---|---|
| No messages are displayed when clicking the “Check for updates” link from the Help menu | When you check for updates and there are no updates available, DMPE 4.3.1 will not display any messages. |
| The Dragon web extension dialog pops up even after extension is installed in the browser. | The Dragon web extension dialog can re-display every time you start your browser. This problem is seen when you have not set a default URL in your browser. Setting a default URL to load when you start the browser stops this problem. For example, to set a default URL in Chrome: Click the Chrome menu (the three dots next to left of the address bar) and select Settings. Go to On Startup and select Open a specific page or set of pages to add the default URL to load each time you start Chrome. |
| You cannot import a user profile with the same name as your open user profile. | If your currently open profile is the same name as the profile you are trying to import, a "please wait" message will quickly flash and nothing else will happen. Dragon cannot finish the import and no profile appears in the display. |
| The Learn from Specific Documents tool does not work with GoogleDocs | If you try to run the Learn from Specific Documents Tool (Tools>Vocabulary Center>Learn From Specific Documents) with Google Doc, Dragon will ask for Google Docs credentials but will not be able to login to Google Docs to run the tool. |
| Slight delays after copying and pasting large documents | Pasting documents of 40+ pages into Gmail may take up to 15 seconds before the microphone can be turned on and you can dictate. Dragon is not hanging; there is simply a delay. |
| Windows "X" (or "Close") button flickers in applications during dictation | When you dictate in DragonPad, Notepad, or Microsoft Word, the "X" (or "Close") button may flicker. |
| DragonBar not restored from Tray mode | The DragonBar does not get restored from Tray mode for some users when Dragon is installed with the Start Dragon minimized in the tray option as the default. Workaround: Close and relaunch Dragon and Dragon will be correctly in Tray mode and the DragonBar can be restored. |
| Error message indicating user profile cannot be closed because applications are using it occurs | Having multiple unsaved documents open while trying to shut down Dragon may trigger this message. Ensure that all documents are properly saved and closed prior to shutting down Dragon. |
