Chapter 1: Introduction to Dragon 11
Creating Windows shortcuts to User
Profiles and Vocabularies
If Dragon is shared Dragon with other people, or if a person has more than one User Profile, you
can create Windows Shortcuts on the Desktop to start Dragon and open particular User Profiles.
If User Profiles have multiple Vocabularies, you can also specify the Vocabulary to open.
To create a shortcut to a User Profile and
Vocabulary
1. Right-click the Dragon shortcut icon on the Windows Desktop and then click Properties to
open the icon's Properties dialog box.
2. Click the Shortcut tab of the Properties dialog box.
In the Start In box, at the end of the path type "natspeak.exe /user <User Profile name>".
The text in the target box should look similar to the following line:
"C:\Program Files\Nuance\NaturallySpeaking11\Program\Natspeak.exe"
/user "David"
where David is the name of the User Profile.
For Roaming User Profiles:
Or, if Roaming User is enabled, type the path to the Master Roaming User Profile loca-
tion, then /user, then the sub-folder if applicable, and then the User Profile name on
the network. The text in the target box should look similar to the following:
"C:\Program Files\Nuance\NaturallySpeaking11\Program\NatSpeak.exe"
/user "\\<server_name>\<subfolder_path>\<user_profile_name>"
For Vocabularies
To specify a Vocabulary, follow the User Profile name with "/Vocabulary" and the
name of the Vocabulary. The text in the target box should look similar to the fol-
lowing:
"C:\Program Files\Nuance\NaturallySpeaking11\Program\NatSpeak.exe"
/user "David /Vocabulary Politics"
If the User Profile or Vocabulary name contains a space, enclose the name in quotation
marks. For example, enter: /user "Mike Workman" /Vocabulary "American History"
If the User Profile name contains a space, enclose the name in quotation marks. For
example, type: /user "Mike Workman
3. Click OK.
When finished, double-click the shortcut icon to start Dragon. The User Profile opens along with
the Vocabulary specified.
