Dragon 12 Installation and User Guide
Creating your user profile
Before you can begin using Dragon, you must let Dragon create a user profile
for each person or healthcare provider who is dictating.
Your user profile stores acoustic information about your voice that Dragon uses
to recognize what you say. This profile also stores any changes you make to
the standard vocabulary—any special words, names, acronyms, and
abbreviations you add.
When you launch the software for the first time, the Profile Creation wizard
starts and leads you through creating your user profile:
Note:
If you upgraded a single user from an earlier version, Dragon opens that user’s
profile. If you upgraded multiple users, it displays profiles for all upgraded users
in the Open User dialog box.
To create a user profile
1. In the Creating a user profile page, click Next in the lower right corner to pro-
ceed.
2. Proceed through the wizard, filling in the information it requests and clicking
Next to proceed.
When the wizard asks for your name, you can enter your first name only, a
nickname, or your first and last name.
The wizard asks for your age to help Dragon work with vocal differences it
associates with different age ranges.
The wizard also asks for region of the world you live in to help Dragon inter-
pret your speech based on regional differences.
