Use the Data Distribution Tool to add custom words
If you add custom words to a Commands Only vocabulary, when you upgrade a User Profile,
the upgrade process does not retain the custom words. In general, you should not add custom
words to a Commands Only vocabulary.
1. On the Data Distribution Tool , select Add or remove words to share across vocabularies.
2. (optional) To choose a location for the custom words on the local computer, click Advanced.
In the Custom directory text box of the Advanced Settings dialog box, type the path to the
new location for the custom words. If you do not take this step, Dragon copies the files to the
following default location (in Windows XP):
\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Nuance\Dragon Nat-
urallySpeaking11\Custom\enx
See Dragon file structure for information on default locations on Windows Vista and other oper-
ating systems.
3. Click Next.
4. Associate a language with the custom words.
5. Click Next .
6. When the list of files appears, use the Import button to select the .txt files that contain custom
words. To view the content of a file, select the file and click View . To remove a file from the
list of files, select the file and click Remove . To remove all files from the list, click Remove
All .
Note: Once you add a text file that contains custom words to the data distribution directory,
and a user opens the profile, you cannot use the Remove and Remove All buttons to remove
the custom words.
7. Click Next . The Data Distribution Tool displays a log of the operations it performs.
8. Click Finish to re-display the first page of the Data Distribution Tool or click Cancel to exit.
Adding and removing custom vocabularies
You can use the Data Distribution Tool to make a customized vocabulary available to all users
on a particular installation of Dragon. For example, you can use the Data Distribution Tool to
copy a user profile's vocabulary and set it as the base vocabulary on any installation of Dragon.
After you add a base vocabulary to an installation of Dragon, new User Profiles you create can use
that vocabulary.
