Dragon Client Installation Guide
Storage space considerations
Each Dragon user must have his or her own user profile. This is a set of files in which Dragon stores
information about each user’s voice, frequently-used words and phrases, optional settings, and custom
commands (if applicable). Each computer on which Dragon is installed must have enough free space for
the required user profile(s).
Use the following guidelines for allocating disk space on your system. The actual amount of disk space
varies from site to site.
To set the amount of data to store:
1.
From the DragonBar, select Tools>Administrative Settings.
The Administrative Settings dialog box opens.
2. Select the Disk space reserved for network archive option.
For each Master Roaming user profile:
l 90 MB for each Roaming user profile
l 21 MB for each additional vocabulary you add for the user profile
l 70 MB for each additional dictation source you add for the user profile
l 1 GB for Acoustic Optimizer data associated with each dictation source of each user profile
For each Local Roaming user profile:
l 90 MB for each Roaming user profile
l 21 MB for each additional vocabulary added for this user profile
l 70 MB for each additional dictation source added for this user profile
l 240 MB for Acoustic Optimizer data associated with each dictation source of each user profile
For each non-Roaming user profile:
l 127 MB of hard disk space
Dragon periodically creates a backup copy of a non-Roaming user profile and stores the copy on the
local computer. In contrast, a Roaming user profile is stored in a network storage location and Dragon
does not create a backup copy of a Roaming user profile.
An administrator should create backup copies of all Roaming user profiles on a regular basis.
