I am looking for a program than can export custom words and voice commands in Dragon NaturallySpeaking. It should be:

  • compatible with Dragon NaturallySpeaking 12.5 Professional and Windows 7 SP1 x64 Ultimate.
  • able to export custom words and voice commands every X hours or days (it's okay if I have to use the Windows Task Scheduler).

If possible:

  • free
  • can limit the number of the exports (e.g. automatically erase the exports that are one week old)

AFAIK there is no program that can do it automatically, but you could write a script for all of that.

Your commands are all stored in a file in your user profile folder. The file is C:\ProgramData\Nuance\NaturallySpeaking12\Users\<Your profile's name>\current\MyCmds.dat. Write a script that copies that file to a different folder. Have the script add a time stamp. Run the script with Task Scheduler.

Your user defined words are not stored as conveniently. They can be manually exported with a Dragon macro (since you have Pro), though. A file with your user defined words would be stored in that folder. Add a time stamp to the file in the macro.

Write another script that cleans up these two folders (or run Belvedere). Run through Task Scheduler.

Alternative

There is a Dragon add-on that will display all new words and commands at the end of the session: dns.comfort, available from http://sonic-labs.net/en/products.html. (Disclosure: I am a reseller of this product, though I get no benefit for this recommendation.) This allows you to keep track of the words added.
