amount of acoustic data that can be stored in the network archive. Nuance recommends that you
not set this option unless requested by Nuance Technical Support.
Selecting this option will transfer 1 MB or less of data across the network at synchronization.
These files are only copied from the Local Roaming User Profile to the Master Roaming User Profile;
they are never copied from the Master Roaming User Profile to the Local Roaming User Profile.
Always copy acoustic information to network
Select this box to copy the User Profile’s acoustic model (.usr and .sig files) to the Master Roaming
User Profile location.
If you chose not to copy the User Profile’s acoustic information to the network, updates to the
acoustic model that you make on one computer (for example by correcting and training words)
will not be available on other computers used by that particular Roaming User Profile until you
run the Acoustic and Language Model Optimizer on the Master Roaming User Profile location
and the Local and Master Roaming User Profiles synchronize. Therefore, if you do not run
the Acoustic and Language Model Optimizer on the Master Roaming User Profiles regularly,
you should set this option.
By always copying the acoustic information to the Master Roaming User Profile location, you
ensure these accuracy improvements will be available when the Master Roaming User Profile is
opened from another location. However, setting this option can increase the amount of time it
takes to close a Roaming User Profile.
In Dragon NaturallySpeaking , an end-user can set the Save Acoustic information option to control
if Dragon saves the .usr and .sig files on each computer they dictate on.
See "Controlling updates to the acoustic components of a User Profile" in Dragon - What's New
for administrators for more information.
The transfer of acoustic information based on this option's setting is not limited by setting the
Disk space reserved for network archive option.
Setting this option will copy approximately 15 MB across the network at synchronization if the
Roaming and Local copies are different.
Prompt before saving to network location
Select the Prompt before saving to network location option to display a dialog box that lets
you choose where to save your User Profile. Dragon displays the dialog box when you attempt to
close Dragon, close a User Profile, or shut down the operating system. The dialog box displays an
estimate of the time required to save the profile to the local cache or the master location. This
option is turned off by default.
