Export user profiles
Before you upgrade, consider exporting user profiles in case you need to re-install.
1.
On the DragonBar, select Profile > Manage User Profiles.
The Manage User Profiles dialog opens.
2. Select the user profile to export.
3. Select Advanced > Export.
4. When the Browse For Folder dialog box opens, navigate to the folder where you want to store the
exported user profile, or create a new folder by clicking the Make New Folder button. Then, click
OK.
5. When a dialog box opens displaying a message indicating the export was successful, click OK.
6. Repeat steps 2 through 5 for each set of user profiles you want to export.
7. Click Close to exit the Manage User Profiles dialog box.
8. In the operating system, navigate to the directory where you exported the user profiles. In that
directory, there is a separate folder for each exported user profile, labeled with the user name.
For more information on exporting profiles, see “Working with user profiles” in the Dragon Help site.
Do not export profiles to a folder in the Dragon directory. These directories may be deleted if Dragon is
uninstalled.
Optional: Export custom words
Your user profiles’ vocabulary may be enhanced by custom words or phrases the user added manually
through the Vocabulary Editor or the email and document analysis feature and words Dragon learned during
the process of correcting misrecognitions.
Consider exporting any custom words to create a backup copy in case you need to re-install the previous
version.
To check for custom entries in your vocabulary:
1. From the DragonBar, select Vocabulary > Open Vocabulary Editor.
2. Select Custom words only from the Display drop-down list.
If the user profile includes custom words, do the following to export them into a file:
1. From the DragonBar, select Vocabulary > Export custom word and phrase list.
2.
In the Save window, specify a name for the list, then choose a format, .xml or .txt, in the Save As
Type drop-down list. By default, the custom words are saved as a .txt file.
3. Select a Windows folder.
4. Click Save.
Optional: Export custom commands
If your user profiles contain custom commands imported or created in Dragon, consider exporting them to
have a backup in case you need to re-install.
