Browser requirements for Web application
support
Rich Internet Application (RIA) extensions are available in the following Web browsers and
versions:
n Internet Explorer, version 9 (32-bit mode only)
n Mozilla Firefox, version 12 or later
n Google Chrome, version 16 or later
If you don't have one of these browsers in the version listed, you can still use Dragon's exist-
ing capabilities for commands and dictation on the Web, but you will not have the full ben-
efit of Web application support.
IMPORTANT
In the specific web applications it supports, the RIA feature adds to Dragon’s usual capabil-
ities in the particular supported Web browser.
Dragon's functionality differs significantly between Web browsers. Please see Working with a
Web browser. For example: In Chrome, you cannot select hyperlinks by name or use com-
mands like “refresh page” and “open new tab”. For these actions, you must use global com-
mands, such as mouse commands or press commands such as “press F5” and “press control
t”.
Enabling the feature
After you install Dragon, and open a supported browser, the browser may prompt you to ena-
ble Dragon's Web application support. Click Yes to turn the feature on. For more infor-
mation, see Enabling Web application support.
After you enable the RIAextensions, restart your browser.
If you use Windows XP
Internet Explorer 9 is not available for WindowsXP. To use RIA extensions with Windows
XP, use Firefox or Chrome.
If you use Google Chrome
The feature is not supported when you are in Chrome's Incognito mode.
Enabling Web application support
Use this topic to review or enable Dragon's Web application support and Full Text Control.
The easiest way to enable Web application support, also referred to as Rich Internet Appli-
cation (RIA) support, is by clicking "Yes" to the prompt to enable the browser extensions
after you install Dragon. The prompt may appear the first time you open a supported browser
after a fresh installation of Dragon.
