/overwrite yes | no | ask

Specifies overwrite rules if a file exists with the same name as the file

you are attempting to add. The default value is "ask."

/? Display the command syntax

Notes:

• Command line arguments that contain spaces must be enclosed in quotation marks.

• If you are running nsadmin from other than the DNS Tools, you must specify the full path to the

nsadmin.exe program on the command line.

• You may want to write a batch file or script that executes nsadmin. When you have new words or

vocabularies to distribute, you can place them at the network location defined in the script and run the

script from the client machines to copy the new functionality to those machines.

• Both mapped drives and UNC paths are supported.

nsadmin: Adding custom words

You can use nsadmin to make new words available to all user profiles on a particular installation.

To distribute a set of custom words (for example, a list of new drug names) to a particular installation, you must

first either:

• Create a text (.txt) file and enter each word or phrase you want to add to the vocabulary on a separate line.

Make sure words are spelled correctly. Each word, phrase or name that you add must be on a separate line.

To add a multiple-word phrase, such as "Mayberry Tribune," enter it on one line.

To include a spoken form for a word, type the word followed by a backslash (\) and the spoken form. For

example, to have "Robert F. Kennedy" entered when you say "RFK" type Robert F. Kennedy\RFK.

• If you have Dragon NaturallySpeaking available on another machine, you can use it to create those words

and export the words to a .txt file. For more information, see your DNS documentation.

Notes

•

After you have have imported the custom words using nsadmin, you must close your users, then re-open

and save them for the changes to become available.

• Paths can be entered as complete local paths, relative paths, mapped network drives, a UNC path, or the

path to removable media, such as a CD-ROM or ZIP drive. Pathnames that include spaces must be

enclosed in quotation marks.

Adding custom words

Once you have created a .txt file (newwords.txt in the following examples) containing the custom words:

1. Copy the .txt file to a shared location accessible to all the client computers where you want to add the

words.

2. On each client computer, map a network drive to the shared location you created or reference the network
