Opening a user
When someone else has been using Dragon NaturallySpeaking, you need to open
your own user before you start using the program. Or, if you have more than one user
of your own (for example, you have a separate user for your portable recorder),
always remember to switch to the appropriate user before you start.
To open a user:
1
From the NaturallySpeaking menu, select Open User.
2
Select a user and click Open.
This loads your speech files. These files include information about your
pronunciation that Dragon NaturallySpeaking needs to recognize your voice.
Viewing user properties
Clicking Properties... on the Open User dialog opens the User Properties dialog box.
The User Properties dialog box lets you view information about the selected user,
including the language, dictation source, speech model, and what steps you have
taken to set up this user.
