Dragon 13 Administrator Guide
Running the Acoustic and Language Model Optimizer for
Roaming User Profiles
WhentheRoamingfeatureisenabledonaworkstation,thatworkstationcannotrunthe
Acoustic and Language Model Optimizer ortheAcoustic and Language Model
Optimizer SchedulerbecausetheoptimizerorschedulercanonlyberunontheMaster
RoamingUserProfile.Later,anyoptimizationsdonebytheAcoustic and Language Model
Optimizer arecopiedtoeachLocalRoamingUserProfilewhensynchronizationoccurs.
ThesystemadministratorisresponsibleforrunningtheAcoustic and Language Model
Optimizer onthenetworklocationoftheMasterRoamingUserProfiles.Theadministrator
caninstallDragon onthecomputerwheretheMasterRoamingUserProfilesarelocatedor
anadministrator'scomputerthathasnetworkaccesstotheMasterRoamingUserProfiles
andruntheScheduler fortheAcoustic and Language Model Optimizer.Ifpossible,the
administrator’sworkstationshouldbeco-locatedwiththeserverbecausealargeamountof
dataneedstobetransferredbetweentheserverandtheworkstationrunningtheoptimizer.
Note:YoumusthaveWindowsAdministratorprivilegesonthecomputerwhereyouare
runningtheScheduler fortheAcoustic and Language Model Optimizer.

Running the Acoustic and Language Model Optimizer on a multi-core computer
IfaRoamingUserProfileiscreatedandusedonamulti-corecomputerwiththeRoaming
featureenabled,whenanadministratorrunstheAcousticandLanguageModelOptimizeron
thatprofileonasingle-corecomputer,allaccuracyimprovementsmaynotbeappliedtothe
profile.IfanadministratorrunstheAcousticandLanguageModelOptimizerforaRoaming
UserProfileonasingle-corecomputer,whenanend-useropenstheprofileonamulti-core
computer,onlythefirstacousticmodelwillload.
Tomakesurethatcorrectionsandaccuracyimprovementsthatend-usersmakeareapplied
totheirRoamingUserProfile,anadministratorshouldruntheAcousticandLanguageModel
OptimizeronRoamingUserProfilesonlyonamulti-corecomputer.

Running the Acoustic and Language Model Optimizer on a User Profile with two acoustic mod-
els
Ifthecomputerthatanend-userdictatesonmeetscertainsystemrequirements,Dragon
NaturallySpeaking13canusetwoacousticmodels(insteadofone)withaUserProfile.Using
twoacousticmodelsinsteadofoneincreasesrecognitionanddictationaccuracy.Acoustic
modelsthatcanbeaddedinpairstoaUserProfilearecalledTwo-passmodels.
SeeUsingmultipleacousticmodelswithaUserProfileformoreinformation.

To run the Acoustic and Language Model Optimizer to optimize Roaming User Profiles
1. BesurethatacopyofDragon isinstalledonthecomputerwhereyouplantorunthe
Acoustic and Language Model Optimizer.AlsobesurethattheRoamingfeatureis
notenabled.
