C H A P T E R 8 Managing Users
Dragon NaturallySpeaking User’s Guide 137
Multilingual users
Dragon NaturallySpeaking version 5 allows you to create and train users
in multiple languages. If you have purchased a product with support for
more than one language, you can add additional languages by choosing
“Custom Install” during Setup. If you didn't select additional languages
during Setup, you will still be able to select them when you create a new
user. You will need to insert the CD to install the new language files. See
your Quick Start guide for more information about installation.
Once you have installed a new language (for example, Spanish), follow
the instructions in this chapter to create and train a user in that language.
Once that user is open, you will see the Dragon NaturallySpeaking
menus and dialog boxes switch to the new language (in this example,
Spanish), and all commands and dictation will work in the language of
that user.
To change between languages, open a user in the language you want to
switch to (for example, English). After that user loads, the menus and
commands will be restored to that language (in this example, English),
and you can resume dictating in that language.
If two English speakers share a computer but dictate in different dialects (for
example, US English and UK English), just create a user for each one and make sure to
switch your Windows Regional Settings accordingly. You may need to do a Custom Install
to add the appropriate dialect (language) files; follow the instructions on the screen.
Tips for multilingual users
■ When you switch between users with different languages, only the
DragonBar and DragonPad change the language of their menus and
dialog boxes. The language of other programs you use (for example,
Microsoft Word, WordPerfect, and Lotus Notes) will not change. You
will still be able to dictate in the new language, but you may find it
difficult to navigate through menus using voice commands.
■ The Dragon NaturallySpeaking Tutorial will be available only for
the first language you installed. In order to run the Tutorial in
languages you add later, you must install the Tutorial from the CD
for each additional language.
