UPGRADING DRAGON MEDICAL PRACTICE EDITION

Note:
• This service pack only supports upgrading from Dragon Medical Practice Edition version 2.2.

• This service pack does not include updates for language or acoustic models.

About the Dragon Software Manager:

 
 Depending on your settings, the Dragon Software Manager may automatically alert you that an update is available for you to install.
 If you receive the alert while you are in the middle of a task to modify your Dragon installation—such as creating a new profile, adding words to the vocabulary, or configuring formatting options—please complete this work and save your changes before installing the update. Otherwise, files the update needs to access may be locked and the update would fail.

Installing the Update:

 
 To upgrade to version 2.3 of Dragon Medical Practice Edition, follow these steps:

1. Launch your existing Dragon Medical Practice Edition software and select DragonBar>Help>Check for Updates to open the Dragon Software Manager.

2. (Optional) To display the content of this release notes document on your screen before proceeding, click the line for the Dragon Medical Practice Edition 2.3 Service Pack update to expand the entry, then click the Read More link.

3. Select the checkbox for the 2.3 update in the "New Updates & Messages" field of the Dragon Software Manager, and do one of the following:

• (To install the upgrade now) click Install.

• (To download the service pack so you can install it later) click Download Only. The Dragon Software Manager saves the file as DMPE2DOT3.exe. Double-click on it when you are ready to install the upgrade. 


Additional Software Components:

 The 2.3 upgrade installer (DMPE2DOT3.exe) does not automatically install the Citrix Extensions or the Dragon Client for Remote Desktop updates, although it does copy the files you need for installing these components into the same directory where the main Dragon executable is installed.

 If you need to install these components, you can find the files you need within the appropriate sub-directories. For example, in Windows 8 (64-bit), the default location for these components is:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Nuance\NaturallySpeaking12\Program\Citrix Extension

and

C:\Program Files (x86)\Nuance\NaturallySpeaking12\Program\DragonClientForRemoteDesktop

 Note: In the 32-bit version of Windows 8, you’ll find both of these sub-directories in

C:\Program Files\Nuance\NaturallySpeaking12\Program\

• Enable Mouse Action. Do this if you want to use the button like a mouse button. Each button has just one mouse action, described in the table below. You can disable a button’s mouse action but you cannot change it. When you enable mouse action for a button, you can’t also use that button to execute a command, and you can’t enable mouse action only for the Dictation Box.
 



4. (Optional) Select Enable Touch-pad swipe if you want to use the PowerMic’s touch-pad button as a touch-pad that you can swipe to move the mouse pointer.
