an institution or Web-based application: for example, you could say “open top site for Facebook” or “open top site

for Nuance Communications.”

Before these shortcut commands are executed, Dragon gives you a chance to edit the search string: it opens a

small dialog box which lets you revise, replace, or augment your keywords. This lets you make your search

commands very precise, which means you will find more quickly what you wanted.

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.

Social Media

Dragon offers commands to quickly post to Facebook or Twitter. 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.)

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,

 the 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. For example, in Google Chrome, Dragon doesn’t support some browser commands, like “Go to

Address Bar”.
