Transfering Via voice file
Submitted by grangie on Wed, 11/16/2005 - 23:04.
Hi
I have just bought a new computer. I have Via Voice 10 installed on my old computer and have installed VV10 onto the new machine. Can anyone tell me how I can transfer my personal voice files from the old computer to the new one. Your help is much appreciated.

The simplest way is to do
The simplest way is to do the following:-
With Windows Explorer or My Computer, copy your named user folder from your old PC using a CD or Memory Stick.
On your old PC, export your navigation and dictation macros to CD or Memory Stick.
Install ViaVoice in your new computer. Do not start up after installation. Reboot the computer.
Insert the CD or Memory Stick in the new computer. Copy the user folder and paste it in the ViaVoice \ Users folder.
(You do not say whether you have VV 10 or VV 10.5. In VV 10, the user folder will be in C: \ Program Files \ ViaVoice\ Users. In VV 10.5, it will be in C: \ Documents and Settings \ [named] User \ Application Data \ IBM \ ViaVoice \ Users.)
Then go to Start \ Settings \ Control Panel \ IBM ViaVoice Options. Click on the arrow at the right hand side of the top pane, and locate your name user and click Apply at the bottom of the window.
Click on the tabs to complete all the rest of the settings.
Open ViaVoice. You may find it will come up with popup windows telling you that speech recogniser cannot recognise the speech files, and other messages. Just simply click OK on each them until they all disappear. Then open ViaVoice again and it should come up with your user name.
Go to audio set up and set up your microphone in the usual way.
Import your dictation and navigation macros from CD or Memory Stick.
You should now be in business.

Brilliant advice. Thanks very much - now up and running. Also just to say what a fantastic site this is. I've been a ViaVoice user for many years now, but only just discovered this site. Will be sure to use it often. Thanks again for first class advice.
