Are all the computers linked to a server? If so the user folder could be copied to the server and plucked out and pasted into other computers' ViaVoice 10 user folders, overwriting whatever is already there.

An alternative would be to use the internet or intranet to transfer the user files from one computer to another and do the same thing.

I have never tried to use ViaVoice where it is located in a server. However if this were possible, it would only work with VV 10, because the user files are contained in the ViaVoice folder. In VV 10.5, the user files are in C: \ Documents and Settings \ Application Data \ IBM \ ViaVoice \\Users \[your user name].

When opening ViaVoice, you will first of all get the popup windows telling you that there is a conflict, and you simply OK all these, and when they have disappeared reopen ViaVoice. You will then have to reset the audio settings.

However I wonder is all of this necessary. If the user has fully trained VV, then only the new words or phrases would be worth transferring.

Have a look at http://www.speechcomputing.com/node/188 which, towards the end of the article, deals with how to capture new words. (I wrote this on the basis of a complete reinstall and preserving any new words that might want to be kept.) The file "my words" could be copied to a floppy or other portable disc, put in to the computer to be used, run the document analysis, and the new words will be found and can be trained.
