Setting Up Roaming Users
he Roaming User feature let a single user dictate at different locations using a
variety of computing devices connected to a network, without having to create
and train individual user files at each location. For example, a doctor may need to
dictate reports in a medical office building using a desktop computer, in a hospital
room using a Tablet PC, or even at home using a laptop computer. In each case the
Roaming User feature allows the doctor to use the same set of user files containing
the same vocabulary words and acoustic information.
Roaming User Concepts
The Roaming User feature works by employing a single network (or master) user
that can be opened from multiple networked machines running Dragon
NaturallySpeaking. When you first open the network roaming user, the program
makes a copy of it in a directory on your computer. You can then disconnect your
computer from the network and dictate with that user.
The local roaming user is a copy of the user data taken originally from the network
user but modified locally by corrections and acoustic data gathered during a
dictation session.
