Pros Boosted Productivity: I enhanced the amount of work I was able to do on any given day by dictating text, clicking through web elements, and controlling my browsers, whether it be Chrome, Mozilla, opera or even midooori with voice commands. Versatile Compatibility: I like the compatibility with many web applications, including popular platforms like Google Docs, Gmail, YouTube, and Rumble, for crying out loud! Cons Voice Recognition Precision: The accuracy of the software's voice recognition is influenced by speech nuances and ambient environment, leading me to be challenged occasionally. That was very frustrating! Compatibility Limitation: Exclusive compatibility with Dragon 13 or later may disappoint users with older versions, limiting access to this powerful tool. One notable downside is the extensions or chromes idiotic tendency to disable itself without user input, which disrupts an otherwise seamless experience. In conclusion, the Dragon Web Extension can be a valuable ally for those seeking improved workflow and a more streamlined workflow. While it offers a sleek design and compatibility with various web applications, there are considerations regarding voice recognition precision and compatibility limitations. However, for many users, the benefits may outweigh these drawbacks.

Leider kann man nicht null Sterne vergeben! Im Prinzip bin ich durchaus tendenziell eher so eingestellt, dass ich nur gerne positive Bewertungen schreibe und die negativen lieber sein lasse. aber was von Nuance mit dieser Weberweiterung abgeliefert wird ist schlicht und ergreifend eine Frechheit, wenn man betrachtet, was die Hauptsoftware kostet! Diese funktioniert ja im Großen und Ganzen recht gut, aber ich bin schwer enttäuscht, dass sich von der 15er auf die 16er Version bei dieser Weberweiterung überhaupt nichts getan hat! Als privater Nutzer mit Schwerbehinderung ist man nun mal leider auf diese Software angewiesen und es kann sich jeder selbst ausrechnen, was ich für diese beiden Versionen in Summe ausgeben musste. Die Mitarbeiterin in der Hotline wollte mir heute weismachen, dass es sich hier in der Weberweiterung seit der 16er Version alles gebessert habe, aber nachdem ich diese aus Chrome einmal entfernt und wieder hinzugefügt habe, passt mit den Leerzeichen nichts mehr, nach einem Punkt Wird nicht mehr groß weitergeschrieben (siehe oben) usw. Hier habe ich jetzt mal den Text komplett unbearbeitet gelassen, um zu verdeutlichen, was ich meine.... eventuell stört sich der eine oder andere an diesen Fehlern nicht, aber für mich ist das inakzeptabel! Befehle wie „korrigiert das“ oder „schreib das“ funktionieren hier ebenfalls nicht und somit kann auch nicht der Wortschatz, bzw. das Vokabular erweitert werden. Wieso bekommt man das bei so einem teuren Produkt nicht in den Griff? Aber warum macht man sich überhaupt die Mühe, hier zu schreiben? Die Firma Nuance scheint das nicht zu interessieren, denn Antworten auf die Rezensionen sind keine zu finden! Herzlichen Dank für das Geld, das mir für das Upgrade von 15 auf 16 abgeknöpft wurde, ohne dass man eine Verbesserung – im Gegenteil eigentlich sogar eher eine Verschlechterung – feststellen kann! Und noch mal: in der Hotline wollte man mir weismachen, dass es sich gebessert habe, ohne meine Schwierigkeiten überhaupt richtig anzuhören!

Chrome continues to remove the web extension, so frustrating at having to reinstall

It constantly freezes up, and so you have to quick go find the switch to turn it off, and then turn it back on. But you do need it, because otherwise Dragon will double letters, all over everywhere.

NB. The most important point comes at the end of this review. The company's response to the problem with this specific app (even though there is never any response from its originators/Dragon/Nuance to these comments online) seems that we must buy the new update. I wonder how many of us in the throes of the 2023 economic mess in the UK can afford hundreds of pounds primarily, it seems, to fix this software, especially when this app is known not to fix anything at all...?! I've never known any company to charge such a huge amount, if anything, for updating software which we've already bought. After months of reinstalling this app every day and more than once every day when switching off the laptop, I found little option but to budget accordingly. I bought the new upgrade, only to find that I have still had to reinstall this app every time I close the computer. Plus, foolishly as this has little to do with the problem, I had hoped that the new upgrade together with this app might just conceivably enable voice recognition to work not merely on Microsoft Excel, but on Access. It doesn't. And aside from Microsoft's own products, Dragon appears not to work comprehensively on some necessary applications anyway. Two important points that I hope will help others: After paying for the new version of Dragon, I still have to uninstall and re-instalI the extension here every time that I re-open Chrome. I've no idea how to stop it happening. So, even after paying the exorbitant amount for the Dragon upgrade, the problem with constantly uninstalling and reinstalling this extension continues. And even then, it doesn't work on many websites, particularly in my specific field of work. I wonder if the problem is merely that this app which we've all been using here is, quite simply, years out of date. The Dragon professional medical version has been updated much more recently! At least that app has been updated even if this one here has not. I'm not at all sure it's just the app which is the problem. Perhaps Dragon itself is failing its clients = us. The main reason That they have required us to pay for the upgrade of the software overall is surely that before long, technical support will again be removed from the previous version of Dragon and there will again be no more automatic updates. That happened to us with the penultimate upgrade just a few years ago. Be warned: we may expect the company to do the same again And require us to upgrade before we can have access to some aspects of the software.

Dommage que Dragon cesse de fonctionner régulièrement dès que je change de page avec cette extension... Le problème est que Dragon ne semble pas assurer de maintenance sérieuse de son produit, c'est fort dommage car c'est une reconnaissance vocale efficace. L'extension permet d'ajouter le support de certaines commandes de correction dans Chrome, cette extension est donc importante pour qui veux utiliser Dragon à son plein potentiel sur une application Web. Nuance, merci de bien vouloir mettre à jour Dragon et cette extension car le bug est connu et indiqué sur votre site internet, il est aussi connus sur le forum KnowBrainer qui est une communauté qui promouvoi votre produit. On ne réclame pas de nouvelle fonctionnalité, juste une mise à jour de maintenance, rien de bien fou...

I have to restore the Extension at least of once a day. Trying to stay productive as my finger dexterity slides down hill slowly due to Parkinson's. I could not use Dragon for almost a year due to troubles with Internal and external microphone(s). I finally hired a local computer guy to reinstall and fix Dragon, so now it works with my internal microophone and I also can do Zoom again Using the internal microphone.

In addition to everybody else's problems with it crashing– which I've had for ages – the software all of a sudden is making it so that random words have extra letters in them (for example, "prooblems"). This just started yesterday and hasn't remedied itself. At least in the past, it was mostly usable even if I had to restart it every now and then. Now I'm having to go back and edit all sorts of things I write, with my one hand that I can use to type one key at a time, and I'm wasting precious time with work. Just horrible and there's no other real options available.

The same as everybody else's complaint. Keeps crashing and requires restarting. Beyond infuriating!!!

I injured my hand and about this software to continue practicing law. It is intensely frustrating to open the dictation box everything the time I want to type something into Chrome. The processes slow and rarely responsive.
