Did you know what Accent Models are available and the guidelines for their selection?
Customers select user accent models for new users when creating user profiles for the following Dragon Medical clients:
- Dragon Medical 360 | Network Edition (DMNE)
- Dragon Medical Practice Edition (DMPE)
The following information is included in the Dragon Medical Administrator Guide and within the Dragon Medical client software Help Topics.
Customers running US (United States) English Medical (ENU) can choose from the following entries in the Accent list of the New User Wizard:
- Standard/General (default value) — Use this if your accent is not covered by the other choices or you are not sure which accent to select.
- Australian Accented English
- British Accented English
- Indian Accented English
- Inland Northern US (Great Lakes area) — This accent model covers Upstate New York through the Chicago area.
- Pakistani accented English (new in version 12 clients)
- Southeast Asian Accented English
- Southern US — This accent model covers most of the southern United States, including Texas.
- Spanish Accented English
Accents available with the UK (United Kingdom) English Medical (ENG) edition of Dragon Medical are:
- Standard
- Australian Accented English
- Indian Accented English
- Southeast Asian Accented English
Determining a user's accent can potentially be difficult. For example, if a user grew up in one part of the United States, but has lived long enough in another part to lessen their original regional accent.
IMPORTANT: If there is any uncertainty about selecting the proper accent, try the Standard accent model first.
The following guidelines should be considered when deciding which accent model to select:
- Start with the Standard accent first.
- If the user grew up in India or Southeast Asia and was educated in their language prior to college, the user should likely choose the Indian Accented English or Southeast Asian Accented English.
- If the user grew up and was educated in Australian or Great Britain, the user needs to make a judgment as to how pronounced their accent is.
- If the Standard accent is selected, perform Acoustic Optimization after using the product for several hours. Acoustic Optimization updates the User Profile with accumulated acoustic data from any corrections and additional training you may have done. Running Acoustic Optimization will increase the user's overall accuracy.
With a Standard accent model selected, in the process of increasing your accuracy, Acoustic Optimization (Regional Accent Tuning feature) may select a different accent for the user. However, if a non-standard accent is selected, Acoustic Optimization will still increase the overall accuracy, but will not change the accent.
Once an accent model is selected for the User Profile, the accent cannot be changed. Instead, a new user profile will need to be created.

Did you know Microsoft CEIP causes issues with client performance, crashing, and hanging?
The Microsoft Story
The Customer Experience Improvement Program (CEIP) was created to give all Microsoft customers the ability to contribute to the design and development of Microsoft products. CEIP collects information about how our customers use Microsoft programs and about some of the problems they encounter.
Microsoft uses this information to improve the products and features customers use most often and to help solve problems. Participation in the program is voluntary, and the end results are software improvements to better meet the needs of our customers. Your computer or device automatically sends information to Microsoft about how you use certain products. Information from your computer is combined with other CEIP data to help Microsoft solve problems and to improve the products and features customers use most often.
The Dragon Medical Reality
Apparently, as part of the Windows 10 release, Microsoft quietly included CEIP telemetry routines into Windows 7/8.
A trend of recent Dragon escalations has led to the conclusion that disabling CEIP provided immediate relief with the following issues for both Dragon Medical 360 | Network Edition (DMNE) and Dragon Medical 360 | Direct (Direct):
- Widespread performance issues
- Crash conditions
- Application hang incidences
