Vocdelta.vocisthefileusedtostorevocabularychangesintheMasterRoamingUser

updatetheLocalRoamingUserProfilewithvocabularychangeseverytimethataUser

RoamingUserProfile,Dragonincorporatesthecontentsofvocdelta.vocintothevocabulary

Ifyoucheckthissetting,Dragonmonitorsthesizeofthevocdelta.voc file.Whenthe
vocdelta.voc filereaches90%ofitsmaximumsize(500KB),Dragon incorporatesthe

Thisoperationoccurswhentheend-useropensthelocalRoamingUserProfile.This
operationcantakealongtimebecausethevocabularyfilemustbetransferredoverthe
networktwice.Subsequently,openingthelocalRoamingUserProfileonanother
workstationcanalsotakealongtimebecausetheentirevocabularyfilemustbecopiedfrom
themastertothelocalRoamingUserProfile.
Selectingthisoptionwilltransferatmaximum500KB,or12bytes/wordacrossthenetwork
atsynchronizationiftheRoamingandLocalcopiesaredifferent.

boxisnotselected,thentheselocalchangesareimmediatelytransferredtotheMaster
