If you have a large folder structure in your shared dictations folder this can affect the software performance. As the software will scan every folder to check for dictations whenever the software refreshes.
We would recommend ensuring the shared dictation folder doesn’t contain any files and folders which don’t relate to the dictations if there are we would suggest moving them out to another location, as well as deleting any folders which are not being used so the software doesn’t manage these files and folders any more. For more information about folder structures please click here.
The following types of files you would have in a dictation folder are:
- Audio files such as DSS, DS2, WAV, MP3 and WMA.
- XML management files these will files correspond with an audio file or a document.
- Documents these files corresponds with an audio file and will typically appear if the software is configured to load up a word processor and has been saved to that location.
- Rich Text Files these files corresponds with an audio file and will typically appear if they have been put through voice recognition.
