Paris here, today I am going to talk about corrupt Dragon profile. When opening a user in Dragon Naturally Speaking, the selected user may not open or one of the following error messages may appear: 
- “SDAPI Error”
- “E_Fail”
- “Internal Recognizer Error”
- “The vocabulary you have chosen General – Medium is incompatible or invalid”
- “Signal Processing Error”
This can be caused by a corrupt dragon profile. Corruption can be caused by a number of things, power surges while dragon is saving data, aggressive anti-virus software settings or low memory resources.
This fix can help troubleshoot problems with loading Dragon Naturally Speaking related to a corrupt dragon profile.
- Make sure that Dragon Naturally Speaking is closed first.
- Press the Windows Key + R to bring up the Run box.
- type: %AllUsersProfile% and press Enter.
- Windows XP Users:
Go to Application Data -> Nuance, then open the NaturallySpeaking folder and go to the Users folder.
Windows Vista or above:
Go to the Nuance folder, then open the NaturallySpeaking folder and go to the Users folder. - Now, go into the folder which is your Dragon username.
- Rename the ‘current’ folder to ‘corrupt’.
- Rename the ‘backup’ folder to ‘current’.
- Open up Dragon and wait for it to load.
- On the Dragon Bar click NaturallySpeaking -> Manage Users.
- Click on your name and then click Advanced -> Backup to create a new backup and wait for it to finish.
- You may now delete the ‘corrupt’ folder.
There you have it, a quick solution to a corrupt dragon profile. If you are still having trouble or would like to have us fix it for you, please contact us and we’ll get back to you straight away.
