dialog box (Daily, Weekly or Monthly). If you do collect data, by default
Dragon initiates the process every Wednesday at 12:30 AM.

Frequency dialog box or the collected data is sent to Nuance on the default
schedule, rather than on the schedule you set.
4. Click Next to continue.
5. When the Congratulations, your profile is ready to use page appears, you

n Modify how Dragon presents itself to you.
n Begin dictating.
6. Click Finish to close the wizard.
To upgrade existing user profiles before dictating, proceed to Upgrading User
Profiles.
How Dragon automatically configures user
profiles
After you create a user, Dragon automatically analyzes your hardware and
changes the default settings of your users to optimize performance.
Depending on your hardware, you might receive a message that the amount of
RAM (memory) on your computer is relatively low for the operating system.
When you use Dragon on such a computer, try not to have more than one or
two applications open.
Upgrading User Profiles
If you chose to upgrade existing users during the installation, the User
Upgrade Wizard appears the first time you run Version 12.
Note:
If you do not want to upgrade users right now, you can exit from the wizard
and do it later.
Otherwise, you can start the User Upgrade Wizard from the Windows Start
menu at any time.
