Managing Users
If you made recent changes to your user (for example, added words to the
vocabulary), Dragon NaturallySpeaking prompts you to save these changes before it
makes the backup.
Restoring a backup copy of a user
If you make unwanted changes to your speech files (for example, you process the
wrong documents in Vocabulary Builder), you can restore the last backup copy of
your user.
To restore a user:
1
From the NaturallySpeaking menu, select Manage Users.
2
In the Manage Users dialog box, select the user you want to restore. For
example, "Elmo."
3
Click the Advanced> button and then select Restore.
Dragon NaturallySpeaking restores the last backup that was made and saves it
with a different name, for example, "Elmo - Restored1."
4
Open the restored user to begin working with it.
Delete the older version (in this example, the user named "Elmo") and rename the
one you just restored.
Changing the backup location
You can specify where NaturallySpeaking stores your user files and backs them up.
You can define any location for which you have read and write permissions,
including portable or removable drives and CD burners.
NOTE
This feature is not available with a roaming user.
To set a back up location:
1
Close the currently open user by select "Close User" from the
NaturallySpeaking menu.
2
From the Tools menu, select "Administrative Settings". This displays the
Administrative Settings diaog box.
3
Click the Change button to open a dialog box in which you can specify a new
location. If you change the location, backups for all users will be located in the
same directory.
Dragon NaturallySpeaking User's Guide
You can use a network device for the backup location but not for a portable user location.
