About Roaming user profile synchronization
Applies to: Dragon Professional, Dragon Medical Network Edition only
About
Dragon synchronizes Local Roaming user profiles with their Master
Roaming user profiles automatically. Dragon saves changes to the Local
Roaming user profile and then synchronizes the changes to the Master
Roaming user profile when a user does any of the following:
l Saves a user profile
l Switches user profiles
l Closes a user profile
l Exits Dragon
When the user dictates on a computer currently connected to the network,
the synchronization occurs immediately after one of the above actions is
taken. When the user's computer is disconnected, Dragon saves changes in
the Local Roaming user profile. Dragon later synchronizes the changes with
the Master Roaming user profile when the user's computer reconnects to the
network and the user reopens his or her profile.
What Dragon
does during
synchronization
During synchronization, Dragon does the following:
l Copies words added during dictation from the Local Roaming user
profile to the Master Roaming user profile vocabulary.
l Removes words from the Master Roaming user profile that were
deleted from the Local Roaming user profile.
l Copies acoustic data from DRA or NWV files from the Local Roaming
user profile to the Master Roaming user profile, where the data
becomes available to the Acoustic Optimizer.
l Copies any acoustic optimization performed on Master Roaming user
profiles to the Local Roaming user profiles.
l Copies custom commands created using the MyCommands editor to
the Master Roaming user profile.
