voice in most webmail applications. For example, say "Click send" to click the Send button on your current page. See
Dragon Web Extensions for more information.
Dragon allows you to dictate into virtually any webmail application. On some websites, including Gmail and
Outlook.com, Dragon allows you to use your keyboard while dictating. Check the Guidance window for information
about what Dragon can do in your current text field. See Mixing dictation with typing for more information.
Using Gmail
Using Firefox with Dragon Web Extensions, you can also use your voice to control Gmail.
Below are some of the more common email tasks. You can also access most of the controls in Gmail by saying "Click
<button>."
Some control names may overlap: for example, the Inbox link and the Back to Inbox button are both
available if you are viewing a message from the Inbox. In this case, if you say "Click Inbox," Dragon
shows numbers next to each matching control. Say "Choose <number>" to select the one you want.
