The Acoustic and Language Model Optimizer Scheduler

Use the Acoustic and Language Model Optimizer Scheduler to set up or revise the schedule for user profile optimization tasks. Because optimization can require a significant amount of your computer's resources, Nuance recommends that you schedule the tasks to run when your computer is idle.

When you attempt to schedule a task, Dragon prompts you for your Windows username and password. The user name must be a fully-qualified login name for the Windows session (domain name\user name). If you do not have a password for your computer, you must create one to access the Select Frequency dialog box.

Scheduled Accuracy Tuning cannot run if Dragon is open. Ensure all users exit Dragon before acoustic optimization is scheduled to run.

For more information on the Accuracy Tuning process, see About Accuracy Tuning.

To open the scheduler:

From the Windows Start menu, select Start>All Programs>Dragon>Dragon Tools>Acoustic and Language Model Optimizer Scheduler.

To schedule and unschedule tasks:

  • No new data—There is no new acoustic data with which to optimize the Profile. Try again after you have done more dictation, saved corrections, and trained Dragon.
  • Not enough data—There is not enough acoustic data to run the optimizers. Try again after you have done more dictation, saved corrections, and trained Dragon.
  • Failure—An error occurred while the Optimizer was running. See the Dragon.log file located in C:\ProgramData\Nuance\NaturallySpeaking15\logs\username.
