Dragon Administrator Guide version 11.5
Storage space required for User
Profiles
Adequate storage space must be available for Dragon User Profiles (that store information about
each particular person's voice, vocabulary, custom commands (if applicable), and option settings).
The space needs to exist on:
n Stand-alone installations where end-users work on dedicated computers.
AND
n Only for Enterprise Profile Management Central computers (sometimes servers) where Master
Roaming User Profiles are stored.
Having Roaming User Profiles lets end-users run Dragon on more than one computer or device by
accessing centrally stored provider-specific voice and speech information, rather than requiring
that the profile be on each computer.
Roaming User Profiles also let end-users with one computer use Dragon from different locations
that have a connection to the network, for example, the office, at home, or different locations
with the office or home.
The following information should be treated as guidelines for allocating disk space on your sys-
tem. The actual amount of disk space will vary from site to site.
For each Master Roaming User Profile (User Profiles stored on the central computer), you should
plan to have this much space:
n 55 MB for each Roaming User Profile
n 18 MB for each additional vocabulary you add for this User Profile
n 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
To set how much data you have elected to store:
1. On the DragonBar , select Tools > Administrative Settings .
2. When the Administrative Settings dialog box opens, check the Disk space reserved for net-
work archive option.
In addition, for the Local Roaming User Profile, you should plan to have the following space on
each PC where the end-user dictates:
n 55 MB for each Roaming User Profile
n 18 MB for each additional vocabulary added for this user profile
n 35 MB for each additional dictation source added for this user profile
n 240 MB for acoustic optimizer data associated with each dictation source of each User Profile
The settings in the Data tab of the Options dialog box control how much acoustic optimizer data
Dragon retains locally:
