Q U I C K S T A R T
Welcome
The New User Wizard guides you through the
steps of creating a user. You may be able to
complete these steps without difficulty, but if
you have trouble you can find answers to
common questions in the following sections.
The "Select user type" step appears only in Dragon
NaturallySpeaking Preferred and Professional.
Q: How long does it take to create a "user"?
Completing the New User Wizard usually
takes about 45 minutes.
The step in which you "train" Dragon
NaturallySpeaking for your voice may take
only a few minutes or up to 30 minutes,
depending on the speed of your computer.
While completing the wizard, you can take as
many breaks as you want. Just leave the
wizard running (and click the Pause button if
you're training the program) and continue
when you're ready.

Creating a user
On the Create User page, enter a name for
your user speech files and choose a speech
model and vocabulary.
Your speech files store all the information
Dragon NaturallySpeaking gathers about you,
such as how you pronounce different words
and which words you use most frequently.
Q: I don't know which "speech model" to
choose.
A speech model provides Dragon
NaturallySpeaking with acoustical data about
the sound patterns that make up different
words. The wizard chooses a speech model for
you based on your computer's speed and
available memory (RAM). The
"BestMatch™" speech models can make the
product more accurate but require more
computer memory and a faster processor.
We recommend that you accept the speech
model the program chooses; however, if
you're age 9 to 15 (or have a high voice), you
should select the "Student" version of the
recommended speech model. Student models
are designed for recognizing higher-pitched
voices.
