Use the command line to overwrite a vocabulary
1. Use the /overwrite option to overwrite an existing vocabulary file. If the vocabulary file already
exists in \Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Nuance\Dragon Nat-
urallySpeaking11\Custom\enx\Custom9005\, Dragon overwrites it without prompting you.
The following command overwrites the myvoc topic:
<PATH>\nsadmin /vocabulary G:\NsAdmin\myvoc "US English | Large |
Nuance" 9005 /overwrite=yes
Use the command line to add an exported vocabulary
You can use the nsadmin utility to distribute a vocabulary that you create using a separate instal-
lation of Dragon. A Dragon vocabulary that you export saves as a group of files.
One of the exported files has a .top file extension, the other files have .to* file extensions, where
* is an integer.
1. In a command prompt, provide the path to the file with the .top file extension as an argument
to the nsadmin utility. Do NOT include the .top file extension on the command line.
The following command adds the myvoc exported topic (myvoc.top) as a new base vocabulary:
<PATH>\nsadmin /vocabulary D:\MyDocuments\myvoc "US English | Large |
Nuance" 9005
Use the command line to remove a base vocabulary
1. On each client computer, in a command prompt, enter a command to delete the vocabulary and
the corresponding entry in models.ini . You cannot use vocabularies that are based on a base
vocabulary you delete. Use the following syntax:
<PATH>\nsadmin /vocabulary delete <topic_ID>
The following nsadmin utility command deletes a vocabulary with a topic id of 9005:
<PATH>\nsadmin /vocabulary delete 9005
Adding custom commands from a command line
Custom commands are voice commands that you can create and modify to enter text, insert graph-
ics, or activate menus and keystrokes in any application. You can use the MyCommands Editor
to create custom commands or the Command Browser to modify custom commands.
