Dragon Administrator Guide version 11
Disable automatic acoustic model selection in the Acoustic Optimizer
Running the Acoustic Optimizer updates your User Profiles with accumulated acoustic data
from any corrections and additional training users may have done. Running Acoustic Optimization
increases your overall accuracy. In the process of increasing your accuracy, Acoustic Optimization
may select a different acoustic model for your User Profile. For example, if you chose a General
accent during User Profile setup, Dragon may change it if your speech more closely matches
another accent. For more information, see "About speech and acoustic models" in the Dragon
Help.
Select this option to disable the Acoustic Optimizer from selecting a different acoustic model
when run.
If you are using Dragon 11 , see Using multiple acoustic models with a User Profile for infor-
mation on acoustic model selection and User Profile's that use two acoustic models.
Restore Defaults
Returns the Administrative Settings dialog box to the state it had when you first installed
Dragon. Note that the default is to have the Roaming feature turned off.
Notes
n When the User Profile is closed, you cannot use Dragon to dictate or to perform actions by
voice.
n On Windows XP you must have administrator privileges to change the Backup Location.
Dragon will not let restricted users create backup files in directories reserved for the operating
system (for example, the \Windows directory). When specifying a backup location, make sure
that directory can be accessed by all users
n In some versions of Windows, such as Windows XP Pro, you must be logged on as the
administrator before you can access this dialog box.
n In some situations, a user who does not have administrator privileges may have access to
options on this dialog that they would not normally have.
n Dragon allows you to use the Universal Naming Convention (UNC) to locate a user profile. The
UNC is a way to identify a shared file on a computer or network without having to know the
storage device it is on. The format is: \\servername\sharename\path\filename.
