DragonLink Extension

Using the 2500 most spoken words in the English language we are able to make a web compatible voice dictation navigator.

By pressing CTRL we are able to bring up tooltips on all document links and buttons. These are then typed into the toolbox and submitted. Voice navigation for this may fall under the lines of 'control key' + + 'newline', to navigate.

Works well with Dragon speak.

Aim: better accessibility / hands free web navigation.

francois louw (ID: 000000c91ee85996) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 11/16/2020 I have been using Dragon for years. However, I am now using Dragon for Mac and even with the Web extension added, I am not able to use it at all on any web based application/ search engine. I can only use it in Word offline. What to do?

Nicholas Morison (ID: 00000069f8a37d0d) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/12/2019 have been using Dragon dictate for 15 years and love using it ; it is very accurate when you give context to words; the occasional mistake can be very humorous; once I dictated "she is a secretary at the Buhler Alliance Church " and it typed " she is a lion tamer at the circus" which may have been more correct! so always make sure that you check your dictation!!

Laxman Budhathoki (ID: 000000db419940cb) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/31/2019 I love this extension. It works well on links but not on buttons. It would be much useful if it works on buttons too.
