Dragon 12 Administrator Guide
Adding words, commands, or
vocabularies to User Profiles
310
You use the nsadmin utility or the Data Distribution Tool to make new words, customized
vocabularies, or new commands available to all User Profiles on a particular installation of Dragon.
Both the nsadmin utility and Data Distribution Tool can work across a network.
The nsadmin utility lets you use the command line to make new words, commands, and vocabularies
available to end-users. The nsadmin utility can perform only one action at a time. However,
you can create a batch file or script that can perform multiple nsadmin operations on a
computer.
The Data Distribution Tool lets you use a GUI to interact with the nsadmin utility and make
new words, commands, and vocabularies available to end-users.
Using the Data Distribution Tool
In Dragon Professional and Legal, you can use the Data Distribution Tool to interactively make
new words, customized vocabularies, or custom commands available to all end-users on a particular
installation of Dragon.
You run the Data Distribution Tool on each installation of Dragon where you want the new
words or vocabularies to be available to Dragon end-users.
