Chapter 12: Scheduling Optimization Tasks
Running the Acoustic and Language Model Optimizer from the Start menu
You can also the Acoustic and Language Model Optimizer from the Windows Start menu without opening a user
profile:
l Windows 7: Select Start > All Programs > Dragon > Dragon Tools > Acoustic and Language Model
Optimizer Scheduler.
l Windows 8.x: From the Start screen click the down arrow to show all applications. Scroll to find Dragon, then find
Acoustic and Language Model Optimizer Scheduler.
l Windows 10: Select Start > All apps > Dragon > Acoustic and Language Model Optimizer Scheduler.
Notes:
l Only an administrator can run the Acoustic and Language Model Optimizer from the Start menu.
l For Roaming user profiles, the system administrator is responsible for running the Acoustic and Language Model
Optimizer on the network location of the Master Roaming user profiles. You can install Dragon on the computer
where the Master Roaming user profiles are located or on any computer that has network access to the Master
Roaming user profiles, then run the Scheduler. Later, any optimizations that result from running these tools are
copied to the Local Roaming user profile when Dragon synchronizes it with the Master Roaming user profile.
l To optimize a Roaming user profile locally, disable Roaming and browse to the Master Roaming user profile
location. You can now run the Acoustic and Language Model Optimizer as you would for a non-Roaming user
profile.
1. The Acoustic and Language Model Optimizer opens, displaying a list of the user profiles stored in the default
directory. To access a different directory, select File > Set User Directory.
The Set a Directory Containing User Files dialog box opens.
2. Enter the path to the directory, or click the Browse button and browse to the location of the user profiles or (for
Roaming users only) Master Roaming user profiles, and then click OK.
If the user profiles you want to optimize are located in multiple directories, you can later repeat these steps and
change this directory to locate the additional user profiles.
3. Select File > New Task.
4. The Windows user name and password dialog box opens. Enter your Windows user name and password, and
then click OK.
Note: If you are logged in to a domain, you must insert the domain name in front of your user
name.
The Select Frequency dialog box opens.
5. Under Optimization, select Perform Acoustic Optimization, Perform Language Model Optimization, or
both.
6. Under User Profile Information, select a user profile from the User Name drop-down list or, to select multiple
user profiles, click the Multiple Users button to open the Select user profiles dialog box.
l Use the Add and Remove buttons to move selected user profiles to the Selected end-users in this task
list on the right. You can also click Add All to add all profiles in the selected directory, or Remove All to
remove all user profiles from the list.
