Setting up Roaming Users
About the Roaming User feature
The Roaming User feature lets users dictate with Dragon NaturallySpeaking from different network locations
using a variety of computing devices without having to create and train individual user files at each location.
Some situations that the Roaming User feature makes possible:
 A doctor may need to dictate reports in a medical office building using a desktop computer, in a hospital
room using a Tablet PC, or at home using a laptop computer. The Roaming User feature allows the doctor
to use the same set of user files containing the same vocabulary words with the acoustic information from
each location.
 You have a user who uses the same laptop at multiple offices and at home. Before leaving the office, your
user loads a user from a central location on the network to his laptop. Once home, the user dictates and
corrects as they normally would. When they return to the office, the user reconnects the laptop to the
network and the Roaming User feature synchronizes the updated user files on the laptop with those at the
network’s central location the next time you load that user.
Master Roaming User and Local Roaming User
With the Roaming User feature, each Dragon NaturallySpeaking user has a single Master Roaming User that
can be opened from multiple networked machines running Dragon NaturallySpeaking. The Master Roaming
User is stored on a network location accessible to your users.
When a Master Roaming User is opened from that central network location, Dragon NaturallySpeaking
transfers a copy of that user to the local machine. That local copy is called the Local Roaming User.
The Local Roaming User is a copy of the user data taken from the Master Roaming User but modified locally by
corrections and acoustic data gathered during a dictation session.
For example, you can set a central storage device to contain all your Master Roaming User files. By loading a
Dragon NaturallySpeaking user from the central network location, your users can dictate at any computer
where Dragon NaturallySpeaking is installed. When users exit Dragon NaturallySpeaking and save the changes
to their user files, these changes are saved in that central location. The next time the user runs Dragon
NaturallySpeaking, all the changes they saved are available regardless of which computer on the network they
