Chapter 1: Introducing the Nuance

Management Server

Dragon NaturallySpeaking Professional Overview

Dragon NaturallySpeaking Professional (DNS Professional) with Nuance Management Server in the Cloud introduces a client-server architecture to DNS Professional.

Instead of installing a copy of DNS Professional on every user's machine and administering

Dragon from the software's Administrative user interface, you install the Dragon Client on each user's machine, and administer the DNS Professional from a centralized server that Nuance hosts.

The Nuance Management Server in the Cloud allows you to administer all of your Dragon clients at once.

Network setup is straightforward and efficient when you use the NMS Server to apply consistent settings to many workstations running Dragon Client throughout the facility, changing multiple settings on the NMS Server with the click of a mouse on its Nuance Management Console.

You can take cross-network action on Dragon clients from a central NMS Server: n

Create multiple sites where Dragon Clients are installed and assign the same backup location, roaming user profile storage location, and amount of archive storage/playback space to all users on one site in a single stroke.

n

Grant, revoke, and manage all dictating users and administrators (NMS Administrator)

licenses, including viewing the number/type of licenses used/still available.

n

Create groups of users and then assign entire groups to one or more sites, all at one time. n

Search through groups of users for those associated with a particular site.

n

View/access Dragon logs on every Dragon Client workstation.

n

Audit session events across the entire network (who logged on when and other related events) for a particular slice of time or particular user.

n

Display a complete list of all downloaded updates and approve or not approve installation of them—all from a single window.

Create user accounts for users, then use simple software tools provided to quickly upgrade old user profiles, then associate upgraded profiles with new user accounts n

Choose to upload speech data to Nuance's Research department for particular users or all users in your organization.

These features help you to readily manage a network of Dragon Clients.

Dragon NaturallySpeaking Professional components

Dragon NaturallySpeaking Professional is made up of software modules that include clients, servers, databases, user profile directories, and web services that integrate with one another.

The modules are in these groups: n

Nuance Management Server components n

Dragon Clients n roaming user profiles directory (on any server of the network or on its own machine)

Nuance Management Server components

The Nuance Management Server (NMS Server) components are: n

Nuance Management Server (NMS) — Main Web service that drives DNS

Professional and helps it interact with external clients and servers by carrying out several vital tasks involving allowing user access, determining settings on servers and clients, and storing information about user preferences and transcription formatting.

The NMS Server also stores user identification and related administrative information centrally, keeping user profiles available at any site the user travels ("roams") to within the organization and its affiliate facilities, whether the machines are located in different offices of the same site or at other sites in distant cities. If you have DNS Professional with NMS in the Cloud, your NMS server is hosted by Nuance. n

Nuance Management Console — An interface to the Nuance Management Server for managing set up of all Dragon Clients on the network.

Dragon Client — Receives and interprets user or healthcare user dictation, producing text corresponding to each user's speech. The Dragon Client sends the text into a target application and also preserves text and audio in the speech profiles.

Roaming user profile directory

Roaming user profile Directory — Central storage area for roaming user profiles for dictating . A single central storage location applies to a particular site in DNS Professional. A roaming user profile contains the accumulated speech information for a particular user from all the Dragon Client workstations where that person has dictated, enveloping the language the user speaks, the accent (if applicable) used, vocabulary or vocabularies, and microphone and/or dictation recording device. These user profiles are called roaming user profiles in other editions of DNS Professional, because their existence at a central location allows speakers to

"roam" from location to location and work with the same profile. (These profiles are unrelated to Microsoft Windows user profiles.)

Nuance hosted servers

Nuance hosts servers and services at its headquarters that your DNS Professional network interacts with:

Chapter 1: Introducing the Nuance Management Server n

NuanceLink — Hosted by Nuance on the Internet. Automatically downloads various updates to the NMS Server over the Internet.

Behind the scenes web services on the NMS Server help it interact with all of these clients and servers as well as carry out its own processes to manage the entire DNS Professional network.

Who works on the network

Two types of people work on the network: n

System Administrators — Manage the entire system through the Nuance

Management Console.

n

Users or end users — Dictate using the Dragon Client.

Stand Alone Mode

You can also run Dragon NaturallySpeaking Professional in stand alone mode.

Stand alone mode functions like previous versions of DNS Professional, where Dragon is not connected to the Nuance Management Server, and you install and administer Dragon on the same machine.

If you run Dragon in stand alone mode rather than connected to the NMS, you will see the following differences:

• Sharing of words, commands, and command sets is not available through the NMS. The

Administrator can use a command-line tool to share these objects between multiple DNS

Professional installations. For more information, see Appendix: Managing Custom Words

and Commands in Stand Alone Mode on page 264 .

• The Administrative Settings - Roaming tab is available.

• The Administrative Settings - Miscellaneous tab is available.

• The Connection Center is not available.

• The Enable NMS option on the NMS Settings tab is disabled.

Enabling Administration with the Nuance Management Server

When you install the Dragon Client, it is in stand alone mode. To switch to using the NMS as your administrative server, take the following steps on the Dragon Client:

3

Dragon NaturallySpeaking 13 Administrator Guide

1. Navigate to Tools > Administrative Settings:

4

2. Click the NMS Settings tab.

3. In the NMS Options section, click the Enable NMS checkbox.

4. In the Server field, enter the address of the NMS server.

5. In the Login Options section, select one of the radio buttons. Your administrator will tell you which selection is appropriate for your site.

6. Click OK to save your changes.

User Groups Worksheet

Before you begin to enter specifics into the Nuance Management Console, you need to gather required information delineated below. Having these lists available in advance saves time and provides a framework you can use to develop the configuration that works best for your facility.

Chapter 1: Introducing the Nuance Management Server n

Names of all people who will administer the system.

n

Names of all users that will dictate using the Dragon NaturallySpeaking Professional client.

n

Groupings of users based on the client settings and options they will use.

n

Names of all locations within your organization where the system is deployed; a site in

Dragon NaturallySpeaking Professional is one or more locations all storing roaming user profiles in the same directory folder.

n

Names/IP addresses of all the computers that will run the Dragon NaturallySpeaking

Professional client.

n

Names of computers and full UNC paths to all locations where you expect to store the roaming user profiles for users.

n

Names of computers and full paths to backup locations.

Recommendations

Nuance recommends that you plan the naming of the components of your organization and the structure of your groups before you begin to configure Dragon NaturallySpeaking

Professional. n

Site names should reflect the set of roaming or non-roaming user profiles for users associated with the site. For example, if you divide your user profiles by location, you could use that location in the name of the site, as it is more helpful than using Site 1,

Site 2, and so on.

n

Group names should reflect the user accounts that are members of each group.

However, if you have more than one group of a specific type, you should distinguish the groups by adding the group location to the group name; for example, Writers-

Longwood, Writers-Northwest.

For your convenience we have included a User Groups Worksheet at the end of this section

to help you analyze the needs of the groups in your organization. See User Groups

Worksheet on page 7

Configuring your organization

As part of the initial configuration, Nuance provides the following default components: n

Organization n

Site n

NMC Administration Group n

NMC Administrator User Account

You will rename these components to meet the needs of your organization.

Prerequisites: n

Encrypted license key: Nuance adds this key to the Nuance Management

Server.

n

Default login credentials: Use the following information to log in to the Nuance

Management Console:

5

Dragon NaturallySpeaking 13 Administrator Guide

User Login: The unique user ID for your organization. Nuance sends the ID to your contact person.

Password: The unique password for your organization. Nuance sends the password to your contact person.

To configure your organization

1. Log in to the Nuance Management Console using the credentials sent to you by Nuance.

See Accessing NMS Server: Logging in through the Nuance Management Console on page 10.

2. Rename the default site.

See Viewing, modifying, and deleting sites on page 38.

3. Rename the default administrator group.

See Viewing, modifying, and deleting groups on page 53

Steps to configuring other objects in your organization

When you have finished the steps above, you are ready to create and configure user accounts, groups, and, if necessary, sites required by your facility. The list below summarizes the configuration process and the references give you access to more detailed information on each step.

1. Create and configure sites (see Configuring a site in your facility on page 34).

2. Create groups for individuals who will either administer the NMS Server or use Dragon

NaturallySpeaking Professional for dictation (see Understanding groups on page 41).

3. Create user accounts that assign each user or server administrator in the Dragon Nat-

urallySpeaking Professional system a user name and password (see Creating user

accounts on page 56).

4. Install Dragon NaturallySpeaking Professional clients on local and remote workstations of your organization. For details, refer to the Dragon NaturallySpeaking Professional Installation Guide.

Notes: n

In most organizations, user accounts should only be added to more than one group if the same user will both dictate with Dragon NaturallySpeaking Professional and administer the NMS Server.

n

If a user account belongs to two groups, the settings for the group listed first under

Group Memberships supersede the settings for the other groups the user or administrator belongs to. Likewise, if a group belongs to more than one site, the settings for the site listed first for that group supersede the settings for other sites. For more information on relationships between settings for sites, groups, and user

accounts, see Understanding groups on page 41.

Console.

5. The Home page appears.

Chapter 1: Introducing the Nuance Management Server

This page displays links to the various features of the server:

6. From here, you can view: l

User Accounts—Each person who needs to use the NMS Server

(NMC Administrators) or to use a Dragon NaturallySpeaking Professional Client

(users that dictate) requires a user account with a user name and password to gain access. People who are NMC Administrator users interface with the Nuance Man-

agement Console only to manage the system and people that are users access only

Dragon NaturallySpeaking Professional Clients to dictate. As an NMC Administrator, you can add a user account, search for a particular user account, and/or change a user's user account information and/or settings, and delete a user account.

l

Groups—You can assign users to logical groups that identify either the specialty, locale, or another unifying characteristic of the group members, but you usually group members together who are using the same Dragon NaturallySpeaking Professional settings and options, including formatting options for the results of dictation. Users in a group should also store their user profiles in the same location. Once users are in groups, you can change the user settings for all members of the group at once. Once you assign the same settings to all group members, you can later modify those settings for a single user in the group. You also use groups to assign levels of Nuance Management Console administrator access.

l

Licensing—You can view the number of NMC Administrator and Dragon Pro-

fessional licenses that your organization has purchased from Nuance, how many are assigned, and how many are still available. In addition, you can grant and revoke those licenses.

l

Utilities—Administrators can view and send messages to users, as required. Messages provide notifications about when words or command sets are updated in the NMC.

8. Before you proceed, if you are not planning to configure the NMS Server in Active Directory, you should change the password of the initial login account Nuance provides. To

change the password, refer to Change the NMC Administrator password on page 11 and

then return here.

9. To access and add to your organization information, proceed to Accessing and adding to

your organization data on page 13.

Note:

A user that is affiliated with multiple organizations, will find that each practice or organization has a distinct organization ID. In addition, each practice or organization can assign that user a different user name and password.

Change the NMC Administrator password

Any time after you first log on to the Nuance Management Console, you can configure global settings for the entire Dragon NaturallySpeaking Professional network. Those global settings include: n

Initial log/password n

Number of SQL trace lines to display (limit the number to avoid them scrolling off the screen) n

FTP path on the data collection server

11

Dragon NaturallySpeaking 13 Administrator Guide

To change these settings, you take these steps:

Caution:

If you are planning work in the Active Directory Services interface, do not change the password of the account Nuance supplies for initial login until after you have configured Active

18

Chapter 1: Introducing the Nuance Management Server password multiple times.

Steps n

You must configure the NMS Server to use Windows Active Directory Services. For

more information see Setting up the Nuance Management Server to run Active

Directory Services on page 18.

n

You must set up Windows Domain user names and user account login names that

are identical. For more information, see To configure Active Directory Single Sign-

On .

If the login credentials for an existing user account do not match the user’s Windows login, you must delete the user account and create a new one. Make sure the login credentials for the new account match the user's Windows login credentials.

To configure Active Directory Single Sign-On

1. During the process of creating useruser accounts in the NMS Server, be sure to assign a login name that matches the user name of the provider's Windows Domain login name (see the next illustration).

In the Login field, enter the user name of the provider's Windows Domain login name.

The logins for DNS Professional and Windows must be identical.

For example, if a provider's Windows Domain login name is one of the following:

• "Domain\John_Doe"

• "[email protected]"

You enter "John_Doe" in the Login field.

Chapter 1: Introducing the Nuance Management Server

Privacy of your data and Nuance data collection

When you implement Data Collection it is for sending recognition data to Nuance to improve the accuracy of this and future products. Nuance works with collected data because our software can learn from experience about the language you, and your fellow professionals, use. We track the vocabulary, syntax, and pronunciation used by professionals in practice, and our experience makes our products more accurate and easier to use for you and others.

Nuance will never pass your recognition data on to anyone else or use it for any other purpose other than as set out in this notice.

Nuance will only collect recognition data (on behalf of your organization), and will collate and combine it with recognition data collected from other health professionals using Data

Collection. We will not store the recognition data under your name, the company name, or an individual’s name, although the database will contain a search function enabling such terms to be searchable within the database.

Nuance will use the recognition data in accordance with your organization’s instructions. We use it to conduct research in order to enhance and improve the accuracy of this and future products.

The only people with access to this data will be our employees, permitted agents, subcontractors, etc. on a need to know basis, all of whom are bound by obligations of confidentiality to keep the data strictly confidential.

Nuance will transfer the personal data to its Data Collection sites that may be located outside of the EEA. However, Nuance shall ensure that any such transfer is compliant with the EU Data Protection Directive.

Our corporate policies and practices, and our contractual commitments to your organization, require us to take appropriate technical and organizational measures against unauthorized or unlawful processing of any personal data that you have provided to us and against accidental loss or destruction of, or damage to, that personal data.
