The problem with copying the users voice files are that the are big to fit onto single high density floppy disks. In Dragon help files it says the following. 1. Copy all of the files in the directory \DDWIN\username\CURRENT (where username is your DragonDictate user name) to floppy diskettes. Note If you installed DragonDictate in a directory other than \DDWIN, supply that directory name in place of \DDWIN. The files in this directory occupy more space than a single floppy diskette. Use the PKZIP compression utility (available as shareware) or the DOS BACKUP command to get these files onto multiple floppy diskettes. 2. On the computer that you are copying files to, create a set of user files with the exact name as the user name on the original computer. 3. On the computer that you are copying files to, delete all files from the directory \DDWIN\username\CURRENT (where username is your DragonDictate user name). 4.Copy all files from the floppy diskettes you created in step 1 into the directory \DDWIN\username\CURRENT to the other computer. This as has been said already, can be a awkward. You could use Zip or jazz drives to transfer the voice files without the need for compression but then you would need the student to have the Zip/Jazz drives as well. We tend to do the training in the students home as this tends to alleviate problems that can caused by different spec's of machines, different soundcards and different microphones that you and the students may have have.
