Dragon Client Installation Guide
Configuring the Dragon clients
To enable audio redirection through a remote desktop connection and to allow users to connect and use
Dragon through a Remote Desktop Connection, you must install and configure the Dragon Client for
Remote Desktop on each client computer that needs to connect to Dragon on the server.
1. In Windows Explorer, navigate to the Dragon installer DVD.
2.
Open the DragonClientForRemoteDesktop folder.
3.
Double-click to run setup.exe or dragon-clientinstaller.msi.
4. Follow the prompts to complete the installation.
Configure the microphone
1. On the client computer, plug in the microphone that you're using to dictate with Dragon.
2. Go to Start>Dragon Client for Remote Desktop and open the Audio Setup Wizard.
3. Follow the prompts to ensure that microphone sound levels and signal quality are acceptable.
