Web-based email and the Dragon extension
Whenever you use Dragon on the Web (whether for email or for something else), your experience will depend on
several factors, including:
The design of the particular web page at that time
The particular settings in your browser and in the Web-based application
What browser (and what version of that browser) you use. For example, you cannot use commands like
“Go to Address Bar” with Google Chrome.
Dragon has additional functionality to help you use web-based email applications. To use them, you’ll need to
install the Dragon extension or add-on for your browser.This feature applies to Internet Explorer, Firefox and
Chrome. Please see the KnowledgeBase at support.nuance.com for the latest details. (The makers of Firefox and
Chrome frequently release new versions.)
For the full Web functionality to be active, your browser presents a message (either full screen or just in a small
part of your screen) asking for authorization to install. Examples are illustrated below.
Note for Internet Explorer users:
Occasionally, you may encounter a web site with unique coding that may limit the Dragon Web Extension
functionality. This can occur even when you are using a supported browser version and the Enable HTML
Support checkbox is selected on the Commands tab of the Options dialog box. In this instance, you can still use
Dragon’s web navigation commands, but Full Text Control may not be available in all text fields. For more
information, see the Technical Support Knowledgebase at support.nuance.com.
Full Text Control and the Dictation Box
On most web pages and in popular web applications, you have Full Text Control even in Firefox and Chrome:
Dragon capitalizes the first word, adjusts spacing when you insert a word, lets you give commands like
“insert before launch meeting”... In places where Full Text Control is not supported, you can still dictate content
using the Dictation Box.
Notes:
If the Dictation Box opens with text in it, you can take advantage of commands like delete line”.
