At least by the looks of it, we can't tell the intent of the answers but they seem quite general in their comments. Indeed, a single software product could be too localized, because you could ask the same question for any conversion software that exists which is quite a long list. Perhaps it could be generalized though, but then you limit the specific possible improvements. As for the other part, developers have to make the application aware of multiple cores. | |

| Mar 13, 2012 at 15:25 | comment | added | Abe | I realise that my question could be boiled down to "can I get windows to use more than one core when transcribing an mp3 with Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10.1 while I am not otherwise using the computer", but I thought that this could be too localized, and that any answers would not be limited to a specific program. Would such a question have been better? Now knowing that the process was running at max capacity (100% of one core), I realize that the answer is "no", but just because the answer is 'no' should not disqualify the question. | |
