Roaming tab

3. Select the Enable tickbox.
4. Click Add.
5. Enter your Network Location.
6. Click Browse.
7. Enter your Local Directory.
8. Ensure selected tickboxes match the image below.



Important:

The installation and configuration process requires a local account with administration level rights (not the actual Local Administrator account, which should be disabled). It may be necessary to contact your PACS provider to install the Dragon software on PACS workstations if you do not have workstation administrator rights.

Note:

Network Location

This is the location(s) of the master roaming profile. Add either a full Universal Naming Convention (UNC) path or a mapped drive, followed by the directory name. For example: W:\Dragon15. An Internet Protocol (IP) address in the roaming network path is not supported by Dragon.

If you do not have a Dragon directory on your shared drive, you should make one. It needs to be created by a user with the same rights as the Dragon users, and who has modify NTFS permissions to the profile folder. The administrator must not be the owner of the folder.

We recommended using a short name with no spaces. For example, \\username\SRprofiles and not \\servername\ Dragon user’s profiles folder.

Note:

Local Directory

This is the location where a local profile will be created for each user, while they are working, which will synchronise with the master roaming profile on the server. The master roaming profile on the server is the most up-to-date version, so a user can log on to any workstation with Dragon and their profile will always have access to the most recent data.

This includes the following files:

• DRA files (Dragon Acoustic data) - Dragon is an audio application and it creates many large audio files called .DRA files. These can become very large in size as Dragon records every word the user says for learning and accuracy and stores it in these .DRA files.
• MyCommands.dat file - All Dragon commands including custom commands.
• Any changes to the local profile including - Phrases, Training, Mic Configuration etc.

This is typically saved via C:\users\username\appdata\roaming\nuance\naturallyspeaking13 or 15.

Tip:

Wellbeing Software recommend that you amend the default local directory for ease of administration and troubleshooting. Create a ‘Dragonprofiles’ directory via the C:\Cris3 folder as this ensures that the user has the correct NTFS permissions to write to this folder. This is where all changes to roaming profiles will be stored, before being transmitted to the roaming profile directory.

Tip:

If upgrading from a previous version of Dragon, deselect the Roaming Enable tickbox. The Enable tickbox should remain unchecked until all profiles have been upgraded to Dragon 13 or 15 profiles. Once you have upgraded all your Dragon voice profiles, you can then reselect the enable roaming profiles.

Miscellaneous tab

9. Leave Backup Location as Default.
10. Enter your Data Distribution Location.



Note:

Backup Location

This option can be left as Default. It is important to note that Dragon does not automatically back up any profiles when using roaming profiles. The backup settings are designed to specify where manual backups should be saved, if invoked by the user themselves. You can choose to modify the default location, but this will continue to be a manual task. Wellbeing Software therefore strongly recommend that you ensure the Main Roaming Directory containing the master roaming profiles is covered by the standard backup processes undertaken on a routine basis at Trust.

Note:

Data Distribution Location

This should be a location to which all Dragon users have access, to allow each user to import the available commands. A folder should be created at the location named ‘SharedCommands’. Commands placed in the folder are available to all users. Commands may need to be trained by each user.

Scheduled Tasks tab

11. Deselect both tickboxes as shown in the image below.
12. Click Apply.
13. Click OK.



Note:

Enable Scheduled Accuracy Tuning and Let the User choose when to run the Accuracy Training and Data Collection should be disabled in favour of the Acoustic and Language Model Optimizer , which is scheduled to run weekly to maximise speech recognition accuracy.
