Dragon Client Installation Guide
Install Dragon and choose the default settings
Install Dragon on the client computer using the installation DVD. If you plan to install Dragon on multiple
computers, run through an initial installation before attempting to install Dragon from a server. Use the
initial client installation to set default values for Administrative and Auto-Formatting options. You can
then install Dragon on other computers using the same options.
Notes:
l You must have Windows Administrator rights to install or uninstall Dragon.
l If you have more than one language, the installation process uses your operating system’s
language, if supported. If Dragon does not support your operating system language, the
installer runs in English. You cannot install Dragon using a language other than the primary
language. For example, if you install the German software on a French operating system,
the installation interface is in French. If you install the German software on a Chinese
operating system, the installation interface is in English.
Initial installation
To perform an initial installation of Dragon, run the setup.exe file from your installation DVD.
1.
Insert the product DVD.
If the installation does not start automatically, run setup.exe from the DVD.
2. Follow the prompts to navigate through the wizard.
3. On the Region Selection screen, select a region to install, or select All English regions to
install more than one region.
The region determines the accents and vocabularies available on this installation. Selecting a
single region saves disk space, but users cannot create user profiles with an accent that is not
included with the selected region.
4. On the same screen, select the Advanced check box to customize your settings, then click
Next.
5. On the Advanced screen, select the following check boxes to display additional dialog boxes at
the end of the installation. These dialog boxes allow you to choose settings that apply to all
users dictating on this computer. You can then copy these settings to other installations.
l Modify the application’s settings for all user profiles—If selected, the Options
dialog box appears.
l Modify the administrative settings—If selected, the Administrative Settings dialog
box appears.
l Auto-Formatting options—If selected, the Auto-Formatting dialog box appears.
6. When each of the dialog boxes appears, select the options to apply to all client installations,
and then click OK. The dialog boxes are:
l Options—Select the default options for correction, hot keys, data storage, and other
settings.
NMC users—Only options in the Commands tab are saved to the NMC server.
All other settings are saved locally.
