Checking for User Profile maintenance when saving a User Profile
When an end-user saves a User Profile or closes Dragon, Dragon checks to make sure that scheduled
language model User Profile maintenance has been performed recently. If not, then an additional
check box will appear on the Save dialog. The maintenance should only take an extra
minute or two complete and is always beneficial – especially when new custom words have been
added.
Running Acoustic and Language Model Optimizer on
Non-Roaming User Profiles
An open local end-user cannot run the optimizer tools on User Profiles. Only an administrator can
run the Acoustic and Language Model Optimizer or the associated Scheduler tools. You
must have Windows Administrator privileges (at the operating system level) on the computer
where you are running the Scheduler. If you want to optimize a Roaming User Profile on the
computer where you are running the Acoustic and Language Model Optimizer, disable roaming
and browse to the Master Roaming User Profile location as if it were local.
As system administrator, you are responsible for running the Acoustic and Language Model
Optimizer on the network location of the Master Roaming User Profiles. You can install Dragon
on the computer where the Master Roaming User Profiles are located or on any computer that has
network access to the Master Roaming User Profiles, then run the Scheduler. Later, any optimizations
that result from running these tools are copied to the Local Roaming User Profile when
Dragon synchronizes it with the Master Roaming User Profile.
You can run the Acoustic and Language Model Optimizer from the Windows Start menu
without opening a User Profile, or you can run it from the DragonBar using the Tools menu
when a User Profile is open as indicated here.
Select Start > All Programs > Dragon NaturallySpeaking 12.0 > Dragon NaturallySpeaking
Tools > Acoustic and Language Model Optimizer Scheduler.
Running the Acoustic and Language Model
Optimizer on a multi-core computer
If a non-Roaming User Profile with a BestMatch IV speech model is created and used on a multicore
computer, when an administrator runs the Acoustic and Language Model Optimizer on that
profile on a single-core computer, all accuracy improvements may not be applied to the profile.
The Acoustic model will revert to a single model. When an end-user opens the profile on a multicore
computer, only the first acoustic model will load.
To increase the accuracy of the User Profile, select Audio > Launch Accuracy Tuning from
the DragonBar.
To make sure that corrections and accuracy improvements that end-users make are applied to their
non-Roaming User Profile, an end-user should run the Acoustic and Language Model Optimizer
on non-Roaming User Profiles only on a multi-core computer.
