Nuance Management Center

Administrating Dragon with the Nuance Management Console
n An administrator can define and manage Text and Graphics/auto-texts and custom
words at the Site, Group, or personal (user) level using the Nuance Management
Center. This impacts the Text and Graphics/auto-texts and custom words that are
available to other .
n A userdefines and manages “personal” Text and Graphics/ auto-texts and custom
words using the client application (Dragon or a SpeechAnywhere Services powered
third party application). This does not impact the Text and Graphics/ auto-texts and
custom words that are available to other .
n An administrator can view all shared and personal Text and Graphics/auto-texts and
custom words that are associated with a provider.
n Text and Graphics/auto-texts and custom words that are available to a userdepend on
that provider’s Site and Group membership. For example, a userthat belongs to
Group-1 in Site-1 can “see” all Text and Graphics/auto-texts defined at the Site level for
Site-1, all Text and Graphics/auto-texts at the Group level for Group-1 and any Text
and Graphics/auto-texts defined at the personal level.
n When a userlogs into the client application (Dragon or a SpeechAnywhere Services
powered third party application), the application queries the NMS for a list of all shared
Text and Graphics/auto-texts and custom words that the usercan access (based on the
Site and Group membership) and adds these customizations to the provider’s local
profile. The client application uploads personal Text and Graphics/auto-texts and
custom words to the NMS. The usercan access and use all shared Text and
Graphics/auto-texts and custom words based on their group memberships and
permissions. The usercan use all of their personal Text and Graphics/auto-texts and
custom words.
n Any commands that are marked as protected are not uploaded to the NMS from the
Dragon client. If you wish to share protected commands with end-users in a site or
group, you should place the commands in a Command Set.
n Text and Graphics/ auto-texts and custom words with the same name can be defined
at the Site, Group, or Personal (user) levels. The only requirement is that the names of
the Text and Graphics/auto-texts and custom words must be unique within the level it is
defined in.
n If “duplicate” names exist in the list of Text and Graphics/auto-texts and custom words
that a usercan use, the NMS will return the most specific objects. For example, the
NMS returns personal Text and Graphics/auto-texts before group Text and
Graphics/auto-texts.
Overview of Text and Graphics/auto-texts
This section provides general information about Text and Graphics/auto-texts.
The Text and Graphics/auto-texts feature enables you to define standard blocks of text (in
Rich Text Format (RTF)) that your users can insert into their document with a short voice
command. Text and Graphics/auto-texts often consists of one or more paragraphs, also
called 'normals' or 'canned text'. Using Text and Graphics/auto-texts reduces the time the
user needs to dictate and improves the consistency of documentation.
If the application that your users are using supports the Text and Graphics/auto-texts filtering
feature, you can also specify that certain Text and Graphics/auto-texts should only be active
for certain documents or forms.
