Utility to package profile data for investigation
Dragon 12 provides a new tool to improve customer support interaction should you experience
a problem.
The Dragon Support Packager collects and important files and data and places them into an
encrypted package. This encrypted package can then be sent to Nuance Technical support to
help resolve any issues you might be experiencing.
See Using the Dragon Support Packager for details.
Receiving notifications when the vocdelta.voc file is full
Prior to Dragon 12, when the vocdelta.voc file reaches 90% of its maximum size, Dragon displays
a message indicating that the file is full. Dragon then incorporates the contents of the
local vocdelta.voc file into the master Roaming User Profile.
In Dragon 12, when the vocdelta.voc file reaches 90% of its maximum size, Dragon incorporates
the vocdelta.voc content into the master Roaming User Profile but does not display a
message to end-users.
In Dragon 12, the Merge contents of vocdelta.voc into network user profile when file is
full option is enabled by default.
See the Dragon Help for details.
vocdelta.dat is now vocdelta.voc
In Dragon 12, the vocdelta.dat file uses the .voc format. The vocdelta.voc file performs the
same function as vocdelta.dat in Dragon 11.x and earlier versions of Dragon.
In the case where a Dragon end-user is working in disconnected mode, the “topicname”.dat
file is now “topicname”.voc.
Export custom words with word properties
Users can export custom words from a vocabulary and retain the word properties in the export
file. A new XML-based export format retains the word properties.
To export custom words, including the properties of each word:
1. On the DragonBar, select Vocabulary.
2. Select Export custom word and phrase list and follow the instructions.
3. When you arrive at the step for saving the export file, save the file as an XML file.
