| Mar 27, 2017 at 22:53 | comment | added | Journeyman Geek Mod | Essentially, questions need to be of reasonably scoped, and typically listy questions are not. And answers would either be "Worked for me" (which can break) or "didn't work for me" which might be unrelated. And essentially you're asking for where documentation - aka learning material is. | |

Specifically, "To prevent your question from being flagged and possibly removed, avoid asking subjective questions where …there is no actual problem to be solved: “I’m curious if other people feel like I do.". If you still disagree, then "every answer is equally valid:", would cover a list of programs that do/don't work with another application. | |
| Mar 27, 2017 at 20:59 | comment | added | Franck Dernoncourt | @Ramhound from my understanding reading superuser.com/help/on-topic (mirror) it is on-topic. | |
| Mar 27, 2017 at 20:58 | comment | added | Ramhound | @FranckDernoncourt - Questions seeking our experiences with a program make poor questions for Superuser. | |
| Mar 27, 2017 at 20:57 | comment | added | Franck Dernoncourt | @Ramhound not yet. It tends to be time-consuming to do so, and as a result I prefer to first ask fellow Dragon Professional Individual users. | |
| Mar 27, 2017 at 20:41 | comment | added | Ramhound | @FranckDernoncourt - As i pointed out in my comment. Have you contacted Nuance for the list of applications that do not work? | |
| Mar 27, 2017 at 20:37 | comment | added | Franck Dernoncourt | @Ramhound I assume that if someone managed to get the list ( e.g., by asking the customer support, analyzing the program, etc. ), it would be exhaustive and would make a good answer that fits the QA format. | |
| Mar 27, 2017 at 20:34 | comment | added | Ramhound | @FranckDernoncourt - Your asking for a list of software does not work. Question seeking a list, any list, are not on topic here at Superuser (in my opionion). Such questions are not a good fit for a Q&A website like Superuser. While a good question can have multiple solutions, a question seeking a list, often has far to many answers to be useful. | |
| Mar 27, 2017 at 19:42 | comment | added | Franck Dernoncourt | @Ramhound I'm not asking for "a list of pieces of software that do" | |
| Mar 27, 2017 at 16:06 | comment | added | Ramhound | How do I ask a question that may require recommending software?. Specifically, request for a list, within the reason "Give me a list of pieces of software that do". | |
| Mar 27, 2017 at 16:03 | comment | added | Franck Dernoncourt | @Ramhound is it a recommendation? | |
| Mar 27, 2017 at 15:50 | comment | added | Ramhound | @FranckDernoncourt - You want a list of supported programs. Your question seeking that list, is not a good fit, for Superuser. | |
| Mar 27, 2017 at 15:36 | comment | added | Franck Dernoncourt | @JourneymanGeek What is the recommendation I am asking? | |
| Mar 27, 2017 at 15:35 | comment | added | undo | @FranckDernoncourt In the question title | |
| Mar 27, 2017 at 15:35 | comment | added | Journeyman Geek Mod | You're asking for a list | |
| Mar 27, 2017 at 15:34 | comment | added | Franck Dernoncourt | I am asking for a product limitation. where do you see I am asking for a recommendation? Answering "because it was" is useless. | |
