The Open User Profile dialog box

Settings>Profile>Open User Profile

Use this dialog box to do the following:

  • Open a user profile or view its properties.
  • Create a new user profile.
  • Select a default user profile.

If you are using Roaming user profiles, the Open User Profile dialog box can quickly display a large number of user profiles and organize them in subfolders.

If you attempt to open a user profile created in Dragon version 13 or later, the User Profile Upgrade wizard opens to upgrade your user profiles. The wizard cannot upgrade user profiles created in Dragon versions 12 and prior.

Option Description

User Profile and Vocabulary

Properties

Opens the User Properties dialog box, where you can view user profile information, including the language, dictation source, and speech model.

Load this profile when Dragon starts

This option applies only if you have more than one user profile. If you have a single user profile, Dragon loads your user profile automatically each time it starts.

If you selected the Launch Dragon when Windows starts option on the Options dialog box—Miscellaneous page, you should select a default user profile. If you do not select a default, Dragon prompts you to select a user profile when it opens.

If selected, this profile becomes your default user profile. Dragon loads this user profile each time it starts.

If deselected, Dragon prompts you to select a user profile when it starts.

Default value: Deselected

Go

If you know the exact name of the user profile to open, specify the name in the field next to the Go button, and then click Go. This eliminates the need to scroll through the list of user profiles to select one.

Location of User Profile
