About Master and Local Roaming user profile synchronization

About

Dragon synchronizes Local Roaming user profiles with their Master Roaming user profiles automatically. Dragon saves changes to the Local Roaming user profile and then synchronizes the changes to the Master Roaming user profile when a user does any of the following:

  • Saves a user profile
  • Switches user profiles
  • Closes a user profile
  • Exits Dragon

When the user dictates on a computer currently connected to the network, the synchronization occurs immediately. When the user's computer is disconnected, Dragon saves changes in the Local Roaming user profile. Dragon later synchronizes the changes with the Master Roaming user profile when the user's computer reconnects to the network and the user reopens his or her profile.

What Dragon does during synchronization

During synchronization, Dragon does the following:

  • Copies words added during dictation from the Local Roaming user profile to the Master Roaming user profile vocabulary.
  • Removes words from the Master Roaming user profile that were deleted from the Local Roaming user profile.
  • Copies acoustic data from DRA or NWV files from the Local Roaming user profile to the Master Roaming user profile, where the data becomes available to the Acoustic Optimizer.
  • Copies any acoustic optimization performed on Master Roaming user profiles to the Local Roaming user profiles.
  • Copies custom commands created using the MyCommands editor to the Master Roaming user profile.
  • Saves changes made to options in the Options dialog box or the Auto-formatting dialog box to the Master Roaming user profile, except the following:

    Changes made to these options remain in the Local Roaming user profile.

Caution: If you make changes directly to a Master Roaming user profile while a user dictates on a computer disconnected from the network, those changes overwrite any changes made to the user's Local Roaming user profile.
