About Roaming user profiles

You use Roaming user profiles when the Roaming feature is enabled. Roaming user profiles are stored on a central network storage location.

A Roaming user profile consists of the following:

• Master Roaming user profile—A user profile stored on a network storage location accessible to all computers on which users dictate.
• Local Roaming user profile—A local copy of the Master Roaming user profile. When a user opens a Master Roaming user profile from a central network computer, Dragon transfers a copy of it to the user's local computer. Dragon stores the user's changes made during dictation in the Local Roaming user profile, and then later synchronizes them with the Master Roaming user profile. For more information, see About Master and Local Roaming user profile synchronization.

You dictate with Roaming user profiles as you would with non-Roaming user profiles.

Each Master Roaming user profile requires 25 MB hard disk space, plus the following:

• 8 MB for each vocabulary
• 18 MB for each dictation source
• 1000 MB for acoustic data

You can use one or more microphones with each Roaming user profile. Choose from the following:

Dragon does not back up Roaming user profiles. Your Dragon administrator must back up Master Roaming user profiles from their network storage location.

You can schedule acoustic optimization for Roaming user profiles using the Acoustic and Language Model Optimizer Scheduler.
