Choosing a Citrix deployment solution for Dragon
Group
You can deploy Dragon Group with Citrix in one of the following ways:
Option Usage Limitations
Install Dragon Group as a
published application on
Citrix XenApp server
Publish Dragon and use it to dic-
tate into other published applic-
ations that are located on the
same XenApp server.
In this implementation, users
can't use Dragon to dictate into
applications installed on a pub-
lished desktop or any installed
locally on the client machine.
Install Dragon Group on a
Citrix XenDesktop server
Install Dragon on a virtual
desktop published with
XenDesktop and use it to dictate
into applications that are
installed on the same published
desktop.
NOTE: If you choose this deploy-
ment option, you will need to
install a software utility on each
of your client computers, so be
sure to coordinate with your
Desktop Administrator.
In this implementation, users
can't use Dragon to dictate into
applications installed on a sep-
arate published desktop or pub-
lished individually with XenApp.
They also can't dictate into any
applications installed locally on
the client machine.
Additional considerations when deploying Dragon Group on a Citrix
server
Using Dragon Group in a Citrix environment has an impact on your network resources. Con-
sider the following before proceeding with this type of deployment.
Higher loads on
your Citrix server
Moving the dictation processing to your server will increase CPU usage
and processor demand.
Higher bandwidth
use
Users with analog microphones need to transfer high-resolution audio
data to the server. In addition, anytime a user has an analog micro-
phone turned on, they use 1.3 Mbps of network bandwidth. Bandwidth
limitations can make Dragon difficult to use.
