About user profiles

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, custom words, and vocabularies.

A transcription user profile is a profile with limited functionality that you use for transcribing recordings of another person's speech, like a lecturer or a field inspector.

One or more.

You might create multiple user profiles if:

• You dictate in different locations with different acoustic conditions.
• Two or more users need to use Dragon on the same computer.
• You dictate in multiple languages.
• You need to transcribe several recordings of another person's speech.

You can export your vocabulary, custom words, and custom commands from one user profile and import them into another.

You can create user profiles in different languages. You must have selected those languages during the Dragon installation. You can install the languages later from the Dragon installation CD or setup.exe file.

Each user profile can have only one assigned language. To use multiple languages, you must create multiple user profiles.

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

• Headsets
• Hand-held microphones
• The Nuance PowerMic
