Working with a Web browser
Dragon includes many commands designed specifically for use with Web
browsers such as Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and Google Chrome that
enable you to surf the Web by voice.
Important: Please keep in mind that Dragon’s capabilities differ significantly
among Web browsers, both in terms of commands and in terms of text control.
Note in particular:
n In Firefox and Chrome, there is no Full Text Control outside of Web pages
specifically supported by the Rich Internet Applications feature.
n Dragon has many commands specific to Internet Explorer, including com-
mands to open list boxes and activate text boxes or check boxes.
n In Chrome, you cannot activate hyperlinks by name.
n For Chrome, Dragon has no commands such as “go to Address bar”, open
new tab”, go home”, refresh page”, etc. However, remember that you
can take advantage of Dragon’s global command capabilities: mouse-
related commands (such as “MouseGrid 3 9”, “mouse click”, and move
mouse upper left”) and key-pressing commands (such as “press Alt d”,
“press Enter, press control t”, “press tab”, press F5, press Escape”,
“page down”).
