Chapter 8: Customizing a User Profile
2. On each computer that a user uses for dictation, map a network drive to the location of the data
distribution directory. As an alternative, you may reference the network UNC address of the
location of the
nsadmin
utility.
3. In a command prompt, type a command to add the custom words from the .txt file. The fol-
lowing command copies the NewWords.txt file to the following directory:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\N-
uance\NaturallySpeaking11\Custom\enx\NewWords.txt.
<PATH>\nsadmin /words G:\NsAdmin\NewWords.txt
The next time you open a User Profile, Dragon automatically updates the User Profile's words to
include the words from the .txt file.
Use the command line to overwrite a custom word file
1. Use the
/overwrite
option to overwrite an existing custom word file. In Windows XP, if the
custom word file already exists in the\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application
Data\Nuance\NaturallySpeaking11\Custom\enx directory, Dragon overwrites it without
prompting you. See Dragon file structure for information on default locations on Windows
Vista and Windows 7.
The following command overwrites the
NewWords.txt
custom word file:
<PATH>\nsadmin /words G:\NsAdmin\NewWords.txt /overwrite=yes
Note:
If you add custom words to a
Commands Only
vocabulary,
Dragon
does not retain those words
if you upgrade the User Profile at a later date. In general, you should not add custom words to a
Commands Only
vocabulary.
Adding and removing custom vocabularies from a command line
You can use the
nsadmin
to make a customized vocabulary available to all users on a particular
installation of Dragon. For example, you can use the
nsadmin
utility to copy a User Profile's
vocabulary and set it as the base vocabulary on any installation of Dragon. After you add a base
vocabulary to an installation of Dragon, new User Profiles you create can use that vocabulary.
The
nsadmin
command uses the following syntax:
<PATH>\nsadmin /vocabulary <directory> "<language or dialect> | <model
name> | <category>" <topic_ID>
Parameters Description
<language or
dialect>
Links a vocabulary to a language. For example,
US English
or
UK Eng-
lish
for an English install
The language or dialect must exist in the version of Dragon on the com-
puter.
