8 C H A P T E R Managing Users More than one person can use Dragon NaturallySpeaking on the same computer. You can even dictate in different languages or dialects (Preferred and higher editions). Each person who wants to use the program needs to create a new set of user speech files and train Dragon NaturallySpeaking to understand his or her voice. A single person might want to have more than one set of user speech files (called a user) if, for example, you dictate into a mobile recorder or in more than one language. What are user speech files? Your user speech files contain all the information that Dragon NaturallySpeaking gathers about you: your pronunciation, your vocabulary, how often you use certain words, and your preferences (whether you want one or two spaces after a period or a full stop, for example). The Users menu on the right side of the DragonBar lists all available users. When you share Dragon NaturallySpeaking with others, you're prompted to choose your user name from a list whenever you start the program. This lets Dragon NaturallySpeaking know which user speech files to load. If the program is already running, make sure your own user is open before you start dictating.
