Dragon 12 Installation and User Guide
Choose whether to install the entire product or only particular features of the
product, as explained in the next section.
You can also carry out an MSI installation. Refer to the online Dragon System
Administrator Guide PDF or Help file for details.
Choosing type of installation
When you install Dragon, you can either do a complete (typical) installation or a
custom installation. Nuance recommends you do a complete installation unless
you are experienced with the product. The table below tells more about each
installation type.
TYPE DESCRIPTION
Typical/
Complete
Installs all options and speech profiles. Requires the maximum disk
space.
Custom Lets you select particular options and vocabularies to install. Can
greatly reduce the disk space required. During a custom installation,
in the Professional and Medical editions, you can modify settings that
are then applied to all user profiles created with this installation,
including Windows limited account users.
Note
If you decide not to install some Dragon components by selecting Custom
installation, you can install them later by running the Setup program again and
choosing Modify.
If you are installing the product for multiple users, you should choose a Custom
installation rather than a Typical/Complete installation. To carry out a custom
installation, proceed to Installing software — Custom Installation. Otherwise,
proceed with Installing software — Typical Installation.
Installing Software - Typical Installation
