Perform the following steps to configure Dragon internet roaming on all workstations.
1. Start Dragon NaturallySpeaking 13.
2. Open the Administrative Settings dialog. On the Dragon Bar, select Tools > Admin- istrative Settings.
3. In the Roaming tab, select Enable.
4. Click the Add button to add a new network location.

Upgrading Roaming User Profiles: Overview
This section describes how to upgrade Roaming User Profiles to Dragon NaturallySpeaking 13.
Since the Local Roaming User Profile is a copy of a subset of the end-user data taken from the master Roaming User Profile, an administrator cannot directly upgrade the Local Roaming User Profile when they upgrade the local Dragon installation to Dragon NaturallySpeaking 13.
See "Upgrading User Profiles to Dragon NaturallySpeaking 13" in Dragon - What's New for administrators for more information.
Notes:
n Upgrading a set of master Roaming User Profiles to Dragon NaturallySpeaking 13 leaves the current master Roaming User Profiles unchanged. Leaving the current files intact allows the users in the network to run the current installation of Dragon while the administrator plans the upgrade.
n You can upgrade from a variety of Dragon products to Dragon NaturallySpeaking 13. If you have custom vocabularies from other versions or editions of Dragon, you must recreate the custom vocabularies in Dragon NaturallySpeaking 13. See 'Upgrading to Dragon NaturallySpeaking 13' in What you should know before upgrading from a previous version for details.
n Plan to upgrade the master Roaming User Profiles at a time when User Profiles are not in use, for example during the night or on a weekend.
n Even though the Dragon NaturallySpeaking 13 User Profile Upgrade Wizard supports both mapped drives and UNC paths, Nuance strongly recommends that administrators upgrade the Master Roaming User Profiles on a drive on a computer where Dragon NaturallySpeaking 13 is locally installed. Nuance does not
recommend that administrators upgrade the Master Roaming User Profiles across a network to either a mapped drive or UNC path; upgrading over a network will take a undetermined length of time. In addition, the User Profile Upgrade Wizard does not support upgrading User Profiles over an HTTP connection.
n If upgrading from Dragon version 10.x or earlier to Dragon NaturallySpeaking 13, version 10.x or earlier custom words and commands can be re-used in Dragon NaturallySpeaking 13:
1. In Dragon 10.x or earlier, export the custom words and commands 2. In Dragon NaturallySpeaking13, create a new User Profile
3. In Dragon NaturallySpeaking13, import the custom words and commands
See the Dragon Help for information on exporting and importing custom words and commands.
Step 1: Preparing to upgrade Roaming User Profiles
To upgrade Master Roaming User Profiles from a previous version of Dragon, Nuance recommends that an administrator install Dragon NaturallySpeaking 13 directly on the network computer where the current Master Roaming User Profiles are located and
upgrade those Master Roaming User Profiles directly to Dragon NaturallySpeaking 13 Master Roaming User Profiles.
If an administrator is unable to install Dragon where the current Master Roaming User Profiles are located, Nuance recommends that the administrator:
n Install Dragon NaturallySpeaking 13 on a separate computer where the administrator will perform the upgrades.
n Copy the current Master Roaming User Profiles from the network location to the computer where Dragon NaturallySpeaking 13 is installed.
n Upgrade the current Master Roaming User Profiles on the computer where Dragon NaturallySpeaking 13 is installed.
n Copy the upgraded Dragon NaturallySpeaking 13 Master Roaming User Profiles to a network accessible directory on the original network location.
For more information, see Preparing to upgrade Roaming User Profiles.
Step 2: Upgrading the User Profiles
An administrator must separately upgrade the master Roaming User Profiles to Dragon NaturallySpeaking 13 using the User Profile Upgrade Wizard.
After an administrator upgrades the current Master Roaming User Profiles, they can then proceed to upgrade end-user systems that deploy the Roaming feature.
For more information, see Upgrading master Roaming User Profiles
Step 3: Upgrade the end-user systems
After an administrator upgrades the master Roaming User Profiles, they can then proceed to upgrade end-user systems that deploy the Roaming feature.
For more information, see Upgrading end-user systems.
Preparing to upgrade Roaming User Profiles
Step 1: Install Dragon NaturallySpeaking13 on the computer where you upgrade Dragon 11.x or 12.x User Profiles
Nuance recommends that administrators install Dragon NaturallySpeaking13 on the
computer where the Dragon 11.x or 12.x Master Roaming User Profiles are located. If that is not possible, Nuance recommends that administrators install Dragon NaturallySpeaking13 on a separate computer where they will perform the upgrades.
For more information on installing, see Installing Dragon on a single computer.
Notes:
n If you are unable to install Dragon where the Dragon 11.x or 12.x Master Roaming User Profiles are located, Nuance recommends that you install Dragon
NaturallySpeaking13 on a separate computer where you perform the upgrades. For more information, see Upgrading Roaming User Profiles: Overview.
n Version 10.x or earlier custom words and commands can be re-used in Dragon
NaturallySpeaking13. See the Dragon Help for information on exporting and importing custom words and commands:
i. In Dragon 10.x or earlier, export the custom words and commands ii. In Dragon NaturallySpeaking13, create a new User Profile.
iii. In Dragon NaturallySpeaking13, import the custom words and commands
Step 2: On the current Dragon end-user systems that use the Roaming feature
On the end-user systems where the end-users dictate using the Dragon 11.x or 12.x Roaming feature, save and close any open User Profiles on each Dragon 11.x or 12.x
system that uses the Roaming feature.
Note: If there is no time when all the Roaming User Profiles are not in use (for example, in a hospital where some physicians use Dragon during a night shift), administrators can
upgrade different groups of Roaming User Profiles at different times.
Step 3: On the central network storage location for the current Master Roaming User Profiles 1. (Optional) Back up the master Roaming User Profiles to a separate location, either by
using any system backup utility that is implemented at your facility or by using the Dragon The Manage User Profiles dialog.
Note: You do not need to back up the Roaming User Profiles because the upgrade retains the current User Profiles in a directory that is separate from the Dragon
NaturallySpeaking13 User Profiles.
2. Create a new directory on the shared network drive to store the upgraded Dragon Nat- urallySpeaking13 Master Roaming User Profiles. Although you can store the upgraded User Profiles in the same location as the current User Profiles — this would make two ver- sions of each User Profile visible to the end-user and lead to confusion — Nuance recom- mend creating a location that is different from the location that stores the current (Dragon 11.x or 12.x) User Profiles.
Step 4: Copy the current Master Roaming User Profiles to the Dragon NaturallySpeaking13 cli- ent computer
If you install Dragon NaturallySpeaking13 on the computer where the Dragon 11.x or 12.x Master Roaming User Profiles are located, then proceed to Step 5 below.
If Dragon NaturallySpeaking13 is not installed on the computer where the Dragon 11.x or 12.x Master Roaming User Profiles are located, perform the following steps on the Dragon NaturallySpeaking13 client computer:
1. Create a directory to store all the Master Roaming User Profiles you plan to upgrade. 2. Copy the Dragon 11.x or 12.x Master Roaming User Profiles from the network location to
the directory.
Step 5: On the administrator system where you plan to upgrade the Dragon 11.x or 12.x Master Roaming User Profiles
1. Start Dragon and make sure the Roaming feature is off.
To turn off the Roaming feature:
i. Close any open User Profiles.
ii. Click Administrative Settings on the DragonBar Tools menu. This action displays the Administrative Settings dialog box.
iii. On the Roaming tab, make sure Enable is not selected. 2. Close Dragon.
3. Follow the instructions in the next section, Upgrading master Roaming User Profiles.
See "Upgrading User Profiles to Dragon NaturallySpeaking13" in Dragon - What's New for administrators for more information.
Upgrading master Roaming User Profiles
