Transfer User Audio Profile from Previous Version of Dragon

Dragon naturally speaking transferring audio profiles

Transferring your user files to a new machine involves a few basic steps. You have to go through this process for each user that you want to move to the new machine. Let's get it going!

  • Choose Profile→Manage User Profiles from the DragonBar or say, "Manage User Profiles on the Original Computer."
  • A User Profile window opens up, showing the names of the User Profiles on your computer.
  • Select your username and click the Advanced button.
  • A submenu displays.
  • Click the Export menu.
  • A Windows browser screen opens and asks you to click on the location where you want to save the User Profile files you want to move.
  • If you're using a USB flash drive as recommended earlier, double-click Computer and locate the drive.
  • Make a new folder on the flash drive so you’ll have no trouble finding the files you transfer.
  • Click OK.
  • The files are copied automatically to your flash drive. You should get a message that says the export was successful.
  • Close the User Profile window. Remove the flash drive and go back to the computer you are moving the profile to.
  • With NaturallySpeaking running on that computer, insert the flash drive.
  • You see a message on the DragonBar that says No User Profile Is Loaded.
  • Choose Profile→Manage User Profiles on the DragonBar or say, "Manage User Profiles on the Original Computer," and click the Advanced button.
  • Choose Import.
  • The browser screen opens and asks you to select the username you just set up when you installed the software in Step 2.
  • Locate the USB drive and click on the file you copied onto it.
  • Click OK.
  • The files are copied and you have successfully moved your User Profile from your original computer to your new computer.

The point of moving the old user files to the new machine is to avoid retraining. You don’t want to train the new user files that the wizard sets up. Rather, you just want the file structure to be set up so that you can replace the wizard’s generic files with the files you copied from your old machine.
