Installing other languages, dialects, and specialized vocabularies To install
user files for the other languages or dialects supplied with your edition, choose
Custom on the Setup Type page. The user files for each language or dialect
contain both spellings and pronunciations specific to that region. For example,
users who wish to dictate US English spellings—including users with accents—
should install the US (American) English user files.
8. Click Next again and, if you do not have the Professional edition, skip to the
next step. Otherwise, choose any check boxes under Additional options to
have additional dialog boxes pop up at the end of the installation, where you
can make changes that affect all users dictating on this computer.
Modify the application’s settings for all users
Displays the Options dialog box at the end of the installation; here you set
several options for all user profiles at once (see online Help for details).
Useful for an installation in a shared area; for example, in a conference
room or in an examining room where multiple healthcare professionals could
dictate.
Modify the administrative settings
Displays the Administrative Settings dialog box at the end of the
installation, where you set up the Roaming User feature, where to backup
your files, and who can modify commands/vocabularies.
Modify the formatting options
Displays Auto-Formatting dialog box at end of installation, where you
apply uniform formatting to all documents dictated at this installation; for
example, formats for dates, times, and phone numbers. You also set
whether to expand contractions, apply abbreviations, and insert commas
automatically. See online Help for more details.
