Troubleshooting Dragon Web Extensions
Currently, Dragon offers Web extensions only for Firefox and Safari. If you wish to use a different browser, you can
access some Dragon functions:
l You can dictate into most text fields, but you may not have access to correction or editing by voice. Check
the Guidance window for information about what Dragon can do in the selected text field. See Mixing dictation
with typing for more information.
l You can use menu walking commands to access functionality built into the browser. For example, say "Click
File menu," then say "Click New Tab." See Menu Walking for more information.
You cannot use your voice to access links, buttons, or other Web page features. If you need access to these features,
use Safari or Firefox instead.
If you are having trouble using Dragon with Safari or Firefox, try these steps:
1. Make sure you have the latest version of Dragon Web Extensions for your current browser.
l Safari users:
1. In Safari, click the Safari menu and select Preferences.
The Preferences window opens.
