Each person who wants to use the program needs to create a new set of user speech
files and train Dragon NaturallySpeaking to understand his or her voice. A single
person might want to have more than one set of user speech files (called a user) if,

What are user speech files?
Your user speech files contain all the information that Dragon

how often you use certain words, and your preferences.
This chapter explains how to set up Dragon NaturallySpeaking so that more than

restore users. This chapter also describes setting up multiple dictation sources for a
user.
