Transferring your voice profile

Following are instructions for exporting your Dragon voice profile to OneDrive, then importing it onto a different computer e.g an Access Room or Exam computer.

Bringing your trained voice profile to the machine you are working from ensures all the learning and accuracy training your voice profile has done on your original computer is available to you still. If you don’t transfer your voice profile, you will be back to the start with a fresh profile on the new computer. This can be quite a disadvantage, especially during exams.
