Dragon 12 Installation and User Guide
15. If you chose to upgrade user profiles earlier, when the message about upgrad-
ing your user profiles pops up, click OK. (The message might tell you that the
installation will not be complete until after your system is restarted.)
16. If you were told you need to reboot in order to complete the installation,
reboot your computer now.
17. Select Start > All Programs > Dragon NaturallySpeaking 12 > Dragon Nat-
urallySpeaking 12. The DragonBar appears on your desktop.
18. (optional) If you have users from Version 10.x or 11.x that you would like to
upgrade before proceeding, refer to Upgrading User Profiles. Otherwise, if
you have no previously existing users, the Profile Creation wizard starts
immediately and you can create a User Profile as explained under Creating
your User Profile.
Modifying application settings for all users
If you checked off Modify the application’s settings for all users during a custom
installation, the Options dialog box opens immediately after the installation
completes.
Note
If you did a typical installation, open the Options dialog box by running Dragon
and selecting Tools > Options.
In the Options dialog box, you see several tabs you can use to set up various
aspects of dictating with the product:
For more information on each tab, see the online Help.
Modifying administrative settings
Note
If you performed a typical installation, open the Administrative Settings dialog
box by running Dragon without opening a user and selecting Tools >
Administrative Settings.
In the Administrative Settings dialog box, you see these tabs:
n Roaming—To set up roaming users.
n Miscellaneous—To create backup/distribution directories and control who
can modify custom commands.
n Scheduled Tasks—To schedule voice recognition optimization and data
collection for improved accuracy, and let users modify the schedule.
