12.0

This Edit box* is controlled by an option, enabled by default for Web and Desktop shortcut commands. Note: If

you turn this option off, you may not see any action right away after giving one of these commands; this is

normal since the search engine itself needs a moment to complete the requested action.

The Shortcut Commands for Social Media

Dragon offers commands to quickly post to Facebook or Twitter. In Version 12, you can disable these from the

Commands tab of the Options dialog, under the button “More commands.”

There are two ways to create your post:

 You can select some text you dictated or some text in an editable document, then say "Post that to

Facebook" or "Post that to Twitter."

 You can also append dictation directly in your command, as in the Web search shortcuts: say "Post to

Facebook" or "Post to Twitter" immediately followed by the text you want to post. For example, “post

to Twitter anyone know a great dentist in Burlington Vermont question mark.”

Dragon then brings up a dialog box where you can verify, complete or modify your text. Once you click OK,

Dragon will make the post for you.

Note: What Dragon executes with these commands is just making the post, as opposed to opening the Facebook

or Twitter websites. Showing you the post itself in its website if not part of the command’s execution. If you

wish to see your new post using just voice commands, you could for instance say “open top site for Facebook”

and then say “refresh page.”

Browser specifics

The following sections cover actions often performed in HTML pages. (There are many more commands; see the

Help and Command Browser.)

IMPORTANT: Whenever you use Dragon on the Web (whether for email or for something else), your

experience will depend on several factors, including:

 The particular settings in your browser and in the Web-based application,

 The design of the particular web page,

 What browser (and what version of that browser) you use. Be sure to see the Help for details including

browser specifics. What Dragon can do differs significantly among browsers. Examples:

o In Mozilla Firefox (outside of Gmail and Hotmail/Outlook.com), there is no Full Text Control, so you

may wish to use the Dictation Box (see the lesson Editing Text by Voice). Also, to click a hyperlink,

you may need to say its full (name preceded by the word “click”).
