Chapter 9: Maintaining a Dragon installation
Using Acoustic and Language Model
Optimizer and Scheduler Tools
You run Acoustic and Language Model Optimizer Scheduler to:
n Choose to optimize the acoustic files for the User Profile
n Choose to optimize the language model for the User Profile
n Schedule one or both types of optimization to occur on a particular day or time at particular
intervals
n Enable or disable the scheduled optimizations
n Separate procedures exist for running the optimization on a Non-Roaming User Profile (see
Running Acoustic and Language Model Optimizer on Non-Roaming User Profiles) or a
Roaming User Profile (see Running Acoustic and Language Model Optimizer on Roaming User Profiles
on page 331).
Checking the optimization status of a User Profile
Dragon NaturallySpeaking checks the optimization status of a User Profile when:
n Dragon creates a User Profile and loads the profile
n Dragon loads a User Profile one week after its creation and the "Learn from" wizards have not
run for the profile
n Dragon loads a User Profile and the "Learn from" wizards have not run for six months
n The Language Model Optimizer has not run in over two months
n The Acoustic Optimizer has never run and at least 1 hour worth of DRA data is available
See the Dragon Help for 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, Dragon
examines how long it has been since the last time custom words where updated. If required,
Dragon displays the Personalize Your Vocabulary dialog box to step the end-user through the
custom word update process.
The Personalize Your Vocabulary dialog box contains information about the last time the
"Learn from specific document” wizard and the “Learn from sent e-mails” wizard ran for the profile.
The dialog also displays the total time required to run the wizards.
Users can run both the "Learn from specific document” wizard and the “Learn from sent e-mails”
wizard from the dialog.
Dragon displays the Personalize Your Vocabulary dialog box:
n Two days after creating a User Profile if the "Learn from" wizards have not run for the profile
n Once a week after not running a "Learn from" wizard for 1 month or if the end-user pressed
cancel the first time Dragon displays the Personalize Your Vocabulary dialog box:
