Abstract: The invention relates to use of speech recognition on a computer network where users roam from one network location to another. A local workstation on the network includes a speech recognition application having a local user profile associated with an application user. The local user profile includes at least one synchronization file containing user-specific speech recognition data. A network file location remote from the local workstation contains a user master profile corresponding to the local user profile, including a copy of the local synchronization file.
