Chapter 6: Configuring and using the Roaming feature and Roaming User Profiles
Setting up the Roaming feature
The Roaming feature lets users dictate with Dragon from different network locations and on dif-
ferent computers without having to create and train individual User Profiles at each location.
The Roaming feature works by storing User Profiles in a central network location so that the infor-
mation Dragon learns from a user dictating on one computer is also available on other computers.
To set up Roaming User Profiles, carry out the steps shown in the table below, in chronological
order.
