The Limitations of Dragon Naturally Speaking 13 Web Extension

Dragon Naturallyspeaking 13 web extension limitations are shown below with the list of the dragon
web extension and available version;

• Google Chrome, any version such as 8.2.
• Mozilla Firefox, version 29 and later
• Internet Explorer version 9, 10 and 11
• However, if you don’t have any of the above browsers, even then you can use the commands
• and Dragon dictation. Therefore, this can be without taking the full-text control benefit.  
• The Dragon Naturally Speaking becomes different on each web browsers. Like if we take an
• example, you can’t select chrome, hyperlinks by commands and name like refresh page can’t
• be used. Therefore, to use actions, users are recommended that one should use a global
• command such as press commands on the keyboard or mouse commands.

List of Limitations on Supported Browsers of Dragon Web Extensions 

The playback option is limited in web applications like Gmail and Hotmail to the present dictation.
Therefore, you won’t be able to playback dictation, if you move previous fields to another field.
In case, if you want to go back to the field, it won’t playback. 

While working in Web applications and dragon Naturallyspeaking is not supported, then you can open
the ‘correction’ menu with the following method;

• The minus sign key on the keyboard, which is the Hotkey, select the text.
• Double-tap on the selected text.
• On the DragonBar Extras toolbar, the Correction button is available.
• There is the ‘Offline Mode’ which is not compatible with Web-based documents works.
• However, adding this mode for the playback dictation process, use the voice commands such as
• ‘Read selection’, ‘Play that back’ or ‘Read that.
• If menus and buttons are used, dragon software won’t support the dictation playback.
• To paste the copied text in a Rich Internet Application, if you are using “Paste it here” option, then
• Dragon Naturallyspeaking will paste only the dictated uttered words.
• Taking an example; speak out “this is dragon test”, then dictate “copy that”, then say “only a
• dragon test” and dictate again “Paste it here”, so the second dictation “only a dragon test” will
• be pasted instead of pasting “this is dragon test”. It is because Internet Application copies the
• command on the clipboard.

• The dictation box tends to display the text so as not to dictate that is why the “Undo that” and
• “Undo last option” commands don’t work continuously. Such errors occur while the software
• or app focus is on the field which cannot be edited. Therefore you can follow further;
• Attempt to open the Dictation Box, and speak into the microphone.
• You can now open the dictation box. Otherwise, it will open automatically.

Some of the selected browsers that support and across some dragon web extension limitations are;

• Mozilla Firefox
• Google Chrome
• Microsoft Internet Explorer
