There is often much confusion regarding the use of the Acoustic & Language Model Optimizer feature within Dragon. When first introduced several versions ago, it was problematic and best not run. Dragon 10′s Acoustic & Language Model Optimizer feature does work reasonably well, however, Speakeasy Solutions offers the following tips and advice.
- Always back up your user profile before running the Acoustic & Language Model Optimizer feature. This will ensure that you have a copy of your profile that you may resort to in case the Acoustic & Language Model Optimizer feature adversely affects your user profile (which can still happen).
- Run the Acoustic & Language Model Optimizer feature every few months rather than once a month. Dragon requires sufficient information to use for this accuracy tuning process, and if insufficient, may not improve your recognition accuracy at all.
- Allow several hours for the Acoustic & Language Model Optimizer feature to run unimpeded, without you using the computer. Run this feature at the end of the day or over night.
- If you have a non-roaming user profile, run Acoustic & Language Model Optimizer feature from within the Accuracy Center. If you have a roaming user profile, schedule the Acoustic & Language Model Optimizer under the Dragon NaturallySpeaking Tools (Start> Programs> Dragon 10.x> Dragon Tools> Acoustic & Language Model Optimizer Scheduler).
If you require further details or assistance, please do not hesitate to contact Speakeasy Solutions.
