Chapter 6: Configuring and using the Roaming feature and Roaming User Profiles
Storage space required for the Master
and Local Roaming User Profiles
Adequate storage space must be available for User Profiles that store information about each par-
ticular user’s speech patterns.
You need to plan for storage space on:
n Each computer where you plan to have users dictating with a Roaming User Profile.
n The network accessible central computer or computers where Master Roaming User Profiles are
stored.
These are guidelines only and not definitive specifications—actual size will vary from site to site.
For each Master Roaming User Profile- on the
network
For each Master Roaming User Profile (User Profiles stored on the central network location), you
should plan on:
n 55 MB for each set of Roaming User Profiles, this includes:
l 18 MB for each additional vocabulary you add for this user profile
l 35 MB for each additional dictation source you add for this user profile
n 1000 MB for acoustic optimizer data associated with each dictation source of each User Profile
For each computer where Dragon is installed
You must install 1 copy of Dragon on each computer where your users will be dictating with the
Roaming feature. Multiple users can use a single Dragon installation.
Each installation of Dragon takes a minimum of 1.8 GB of free hard disk space for a custom Instal-
lation where you install only the program files and 1 set of User Profiles. Installations can range
from 800 MB (US English Home Edition) to 5 GB (Dragon Medical Practice Edition), depending
on which languages and vocabularies you install. See Dragon system requirements for information
on disk space requirements for Dragon 11 or greater .
For each Local Roaming User Profile- on the client
PC
On each installation of Dragon where your users plan to dictate using the Roaming feature, each
Local Roaming User Profile (the User Profiles stored on the local computer running Dragon),
require the following:
n 55 MB for each set of Roaming User Profiles. This includes:
l 18 MB for each additional vocabulary you add for this user profile
l 35 MB for each additional dictation source you add for this user profile
