A first opportunity to adapt your profile’s vocabulary

Dragon will then offer to start adapting its Vocabulary. This step is just a basic customization which analyzes

the texts in your My Documents folder as well as your sent e-mails. Later, you will be able to designate specific

documents for analysis; you do NOT need to copy documents into your My Documents folder in order to have

Dragon analyze them!

Feel free to skip this basic step. We recommend that, as soon as possible after your profile is created, you take

advantage of the powerful customization tools described in the following lessons. (For example, you can

have Dragon analyze documents located in various folders, and you can import lists of custom words and

phrases.)

IMPORTANT:

If some of your documents and sent emails are in a different language or in a radically

different style, skip this automatic step and have Dragon learn from specific documents.

Scheduling Dragon's periodic tasks

The Profile Creation Wizard will then give you the opportunity to schedule Dragon's periodic Accuracy Tuning, a

process which, after you start using Dragon, can refine your profile automatically based on what you have

already dictated.

IMPORTANT

: Be sure to schedule Dragon's tasks for a time when your computer will be on (not asleep, not

hibernating) but Dragon is not be active (this includes being open in its QuickStart mode—see the Help for more

information).

For Accuracy Tuning, after you click the Change Schedule button, Dragon presents the dialog box Select Time

and Frequency; be sure to also click this dialog’s Language Model tab, so you can pick a suitable time for the

Language Model Optimization. (Note: Language Model Optimization is typically much faster than Acoustic

Optimization.)
