Step 4: Export the customized vocabulary
You can share vocabularies among different User Profiles by first exporting a vocabulary from one
User Profile and then importing it to a new User Profile. Use the following procedure to export a
vocabulary. To export a vocabulary:
1. Create a folder in which to save the exported vocabulary files.
2. Open the upgraded Dragon 9.x or 10.x User Profile that uses the custom vocabulary.
3. On the DragonBar , select Vocabulary > Manage Vocabularies or say "Manage Vocab-
ularies."
4. In the Manage Vocabularies dialog box, select the vocabulary you want to export and then
export it.
5. Locate and open the target folder, enter a name for the exported vocabulary in the File Name
box, and then save it.
6. In the Manage Vocabularies dialog box, click or say "Close" to save and close it.
Note: Exporting a vocabulary creates a copy of the four files that make up the vocabulary in the
new location. You can access these files via the Data Distribution Tool or the nsadmin tool to
create new custom base vocabularies.
Step 5: Use nsadmin or the Data Distribution tool to
copy the vocabulary you export
Using the nsadmin command line or the Data Distribution Tool , you can import the vocabulary
you created in Step 2 as a base vocabulary on any Dragon installation.
Once you add a base vocabulary to a Dragon installation, you can then use the new vocabulary to
create new User Profiles or add a new vocabulary to an existing User Profile.
When you run nsadmin or the Data Distribution Tool to import the exported vocabulary to
your Dragon installation, be sure to give the new vocabulary the same name and topic ID that the
Dragon 9.x or 10.x customized vocabulary had.
For example, if your Dragon 9.x or 10.x custom vocabulary was named US English | Large |
Nuance topic ID 9005 , you would use nsadmin or the Data Distribution Tool to create a new
base vocabulary with that same name and topic ID number.
