About user profiles

About

A user profile is a set of files that Dragon uses to process what you say. Your user profile stores information, like the type of microphone you use and your custom words.

A default user profile is a profile that Dragon loads by default each time it starts. This applies only when you have multiple user profiles.

Optional?

No.

Number to create

One profile per language.

You can export your vocabulary, custom words, and custom commands from one user profile and import them into another. You can also export your user profile and use it on another computer.

Maximum allowed

Unlimited.

Disk space requirements

Each user profile requires about 127 MB of hard disk space.

Dictation sources/Audio devices

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

  • Headsets
  • Hand-held microphones
  • Digital recorders (for transcription)
  • The Nuance PowerMic

Backups

User profiles store important data. Automatic user profile backups occur every fifth time you save your profile by default.
