Chapter 6: Configuring and using the Roaming feature and Roaming User Profiles
Running the Acoustic and Language
Model Optimizer for Roaming User
Profiles
When the Roaming feature is enabled on a workstation, that workstation cannot run the Acous-
tic and Language Model Optimizer or the Acoustic and Language Model Optimizer
Scheduler because the optimizer or scheduler can only be run on the Master Roaming User Pro-
file. Later, any optimizations done by the Acoustic and Language Model Optimizer are copied
to each Local Roaming User Profile when synchronization occurs.
The system administrator is responsible for running the Acoustic and Language Model Opti-
mizer on the network location of the Master Roaming User Profiles. The administrator can install
Dragon on the computer where the Master Roaming User Profiles are located or an administrator's
computer that has network access to the Master Roaming User Profiles and run the Scheduler for
the Acoustic and Language Model Optimizer . If possible, the administrator’s workstation
should be co-located with the server because a large amount of data needs to be transferred
between the server and the workstation running the optimizer.
Note: You must have Windows Administrator privileges on the computer where you are running
the Scheduler for the Acoustic and Language Model Optimizer .
Running the Acoustic and Language Model
Optimizer on a multi-core computer
If a Roaming User Profile is created and used on a multi-core computer with the Roaming feature
enabled, 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. If an
administrator runs the Acoustic and Language Model Optimizer for a Roaming User Profile on a
single-core computer, when a user opens the profile on a multi-core computer, only the first acous-
tic model will load.
To make sure that corrections and accuracy improvements that users make are applied to their
Roaming User Profile, an administrator should run the Acoustic and Language Model Optimizer
on Roaming User Profiles only on a multi-core computer.
Running the Acoustic and Language Model
Optimizer on a User Profile with two acoustic
models
If the computer that a user dictates on meets certain system requirements, Dragon 11 , can use
two acoustic models (instead of one) with a User Profile. Using two acoustic models instead of
