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.

In three popular browsers, Dragon 13 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 (version 9,10, and 11, 32-bit and 64-bit), and the latest supported version of Firefox and

Chrome. Please see the KnowledgeBase at support.nuance.com for the latest details on supported versions. (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.

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 (as it would from the Address bar), you can take advantage of

commands like “delete line”.

 If you disable the Dictation Box option (see the Miscellaneous tab of Options dialog), you can work

around the text control limitations. Examples:

o Say “cap” before the first word (or, after the fact: “cap that”, or “capitalize <word>”)

o If you need to insert within existing text, say “spacebar” to add a space.
