As a user Iwould like to see speech recognition empowered to work on all browsers just like dragon naturally speaking which will write on virtually anything. It would be a great addition to the new windows. Are there any plans to do this? |
We understand users of newer versions of Firefox have had compatibility issues with Dragon.
I certainly understand why you wish to use an alternate browser. Microsoft publishes standards for its operating systems. Developers who wish users to use their software on Microsoft operating systems must write to those standards not vice versa.
In those web sites which do not accept WSR input we use a macro called OpenDictationBox, see below. This works like the Dragon Show Dictation Box feature. It opens Wordpad (you can change it to Notepad if you wish) and allows corrections. When finished, say "Post Dictation." I copy and paste the dictation when Post Dictation does not work in some text fields.
