Synchronizing roaming users
When you complete a dictation session with a roaming user and exit Dragon
NaturallySpeaking, the program attempts to synchronize the changes you have
made to the local roaming user with the network roaming user. If your computer is
connected to the network, synchronization happens automatically at the time you
exit. If your computer is not currently connected to the network (such as when you
use a laptop in a remote location), changes are saved with the local roaming user.
The next time you connect to the network and load the network roaming user, the
program synchronizes the local and the network roaming users before it loads the
network roaming user.
The following changes take place when you synchronize roaming users:
Words added to the local roaming user during a dictation session are combined
with the network roaming user vocabulary, while words deleted from the local
roaming user are removed from the network roaming user vocabulary.
Acoustic data (files with a .DRA extension) is copied from the local roaming
user and added to the network roaming user where the data is available to the
Acoustic Optimizer.
Custom commands you have created or modified using the MyCommands
editor are copied to the network roaming user.
Any user options that you changed on the Options dialog box that are normally
saved with the user are saved to the network roaming user. The only options
that are not synchronized, but remain with the local roaming user, are the Use
Active Accessibility for menu and dialog control option on the Miscellaneous tab, the
Conserve disk space used by speech files option on the Data tab, and the Create
usability log option on the Advance dialog box that opens from the Data tab.
Scheduling the Acoustic Optimizer for a roaming user
Even though you can only run the Acoustic Optimizer for a network roaming user,
the Roaming User feature allows you to schedule the Acoustic Optimizer to run
even while you are using a local user. Doing this requires that you have
administrator privileges for operating systems that require them, such as Windows
XP Pro.
To set the Acoustic Optimizer Scheduler
