Set audio settings on up to fifty computers
In Dragon 12, by default, you can configure audio settings on fifty computers that run Dragon.
A User Profile can have up to fifty computer-device pairs in the audio.ini file. This should
reduce the number of times an end-user with a Roaming User Profile must run the Microphone
quality check as they use their roaming User Profile on different computers.
You can change the number of computers that you can configure audio settings on .
1. In Windows Explorer, navigate to C:\ProgramData\Nuance\NaturallySpeaking12.
2. Use a text editor to open the nssystem.ini file.
3. Under the [Settings] section, set Number of Audio Settings to the number of computers
to configure audio settings on.
4. Save the nssystem.ini file.
Automatically save a rich recognition history for a user
Only for Dragon 12 Professional and higher:
Dragon Administrators can now turn on the automatic creation of recognition log files, a convenient
way to quickly obtain rich objective information about how end-users are using
Dragon (commands, applications, audio sources, etc.). This data can help provide targeted
advice to end-users about how to get the most out of Dragon. Recognition log files can also
help Enterprises in gathering data for return-on-investment assessments.
Note: there is no graphical user interface for this feature. It is not accessible from any DragonBar
menu.
See Auto-saving end-user recognition history data for more details.
Keeping custom words up-to-date
Using Dragon’s support for custom words, especially contact names, can make communicating
with Dragon faster and more precise. To facilitate this, when Dragon loads a User Profile, it
determines how long it has been since the last time the document-analysis and email-analysis
tools were used. Dragon may then display the Personalize Your Vocabulary dialog box.
