If it’s set up correctly and working well, Dragon is really useful for handsfree browsing.

you can use voice commands to click on links and control the browser.

It’s not always straight sailing, though, so in this episode I explain what the Dragon web extension is. And I discuss three challenges that you might encounter when trying to surf the web with dragon and I offer my tips on how to solve or work around this challenges.

The challenges that I discuss are:

  1. Getting an error that the Dragon webextension has been disabled or has stopped working.
  2. The web extension stops working after a while.
  3. Not all websites are supported

Not all issues are solvable, but I'm positive that my tips will help you get a better experience when you use Dragon to brows the web.

The Speech Recognition Podcast

The Speech Recognition Podcast broadly discusses dictation and voice commands on PC, Mac and iPad/iPhone. Microphones will also be a common topic, as they so essential for good recognition results.

If you are interested in using speech recognition software in your daily life, this podcast is for you.

My name is Janneke den Draak and I'll be your host.

The speech recognition is my daily work. I've been a professional speech recognition software trainer and consultant since the year 2000.

Don't expect me to be great at podcasting, though. The podcasting part is all new to me 😀 I'm keeping the recordings super simple and the content unpretentious. The most important thing is to get the podcast published so that any helpful tips and inspiration gets out there for you to listen to!

When I'm not podcasting, I'm creating and facilitating online training and blended e-learning courses on using Dragon speech recognition and Apple Voice Control. Or I'm traveling to a customer to give an in-person Dragon training. In the Netherlands, which is where I have my business as a solopreneur.
