For Dragon 13 or later, this extension gives Dragon’s full power in Chrome:
– clicking objects by name (e.g. say “Click Contact” for a link named Contact)
– enhanced dictating and editing (note: in Google Docs, you can work directly or indirectly)
See our video!
To enable the extension, click “Add to Chrome,” confirm, then refresh (bookmark this page in case you later want it).
To see that it’s enabled: in Chrome, click the menu icon > Settings > Extensions and look for Dragon Web Extension:
a. If its “Enable” box is empty, click it.
b. If the extension is absent, return to this store page and click “Add to Chrome.”
For details, please see Dragon’s Help menu and www.nuance.com/dragon.
I REALLY like RoboForm. It enables me to use STRONG PASSWORDS – THAT ARE DIFFERENT FOR EACH AND EVERY WEBSITE THAT I WANT TO LOG INTO – something I would not be able to do otherwise if I had to count on simply remembering them. Other things that I like about RoboForm are that (a) should RoboForm’s main server ever be down/go ‘down’ for any reason, I can still ‘function’ and log into the websites that I need to and (b) I REALLY LIKE the fact that it supports so many different browsers. Frankly, I have become increasingly reluctant to continue to use Google Chrome because of the amount of ‘spying’ they tend to do on me/with data they can glean from me and I increasingly I am and have continued to switch to MORE AND ALTERNATIVE BROWSERS in an effort to try to maintain Personal Privacy at a somewhat (at least) higher level.Highly Recommend it,
I confirm this plug-in is a total garbage, how come they can not put a team of programmer to fix this issue ? Constant crashes, inaccurate transcription, skipping words, cursor jumping all over the place, what a shame ! I paid 500$ for the software and I can’t even use it natively with Chrome ?
Come on guys you need to get your s**t together…
the Dragon web extension constantly fails. It needs to be reinstalled every time the browser is rebooted. the machine learning does not work well to personalize the UX. Trying to get Dragon to recognize any document or email client has thus far failed and therefore the personalization is more limited.
This extension crashes constantly on Chrome and Firefox and always has. When it works it’s very good. I like it, when it works. Years of 1 and 2-Star reviews makes it clear, literally don’t care if it works or not. This is what they call their “consumer” market.
Nuance started with training wheel versions of Dragon Recognition Personal / Professional. Now list on NASDAQ with huge vertical markets and their “consumer” market is no more than dust on their pants. They seem to have no more than a nuanced view of what a Google Chrome Extension is about and what we need.
The company’s website is filled with beautiful, inspirational ad agency copy about who they are and what they do. Enjoy these gems on http://www.nuance.com/about-us/who-we-are.html
– “Exceeding expectations is a baseline for us—so much so that our customers have come to expect it.” A baseline expectation of 1-Star ratings for a Google Chrome Extension is not acceptable?
Also see on their site –
– “Relentless overachievers” Please, please achieve a bit for the Chrome consumer users.
– “Professional listeners…we never forget the importance of paying attention.” Hey, you, listen up, pay attention, here’s another 1-Star.
– “Understanding a customer’s distinct needs, obstacles, and goals is the key to tailoring a solution that succeeds on every level” Please read the reviews for clues to what is distinctly needed in a Dragon Recognition Extension for Chrome Web Store. Exceed, please.
BTW – I typed this keystroke by keystroke ’cause the Dragon Web Extension crashed. Could have used “Dragon Dictation Pad” but didn’t, I want to retain the nuance of my negativity.
I love Dragon — I’ve been using it for 17 years on Word, Notepad, Excel — but the extension for Chrome is terrible. It stops working unpredictably, And adds capital letters unpredictably after pauses (like the word And back there).
The extension for Firefox is even worse, and usually doesn’t work at all.
On the other hand, dictation on the Microsoft Edge browser seems to work well – on a brief trial –without any extension. And living in the Google and Mozilla world I don’t really want to switch to Edge.
Earlier comments suggest using other dictation apps, and I might end up with that.
s’ arrete tout d’un coup sans motif. apparemment je ne suis pas la seule. quelq’un a t il solution ?
Very rarely works.
This software is a joke. That Nuance can’t get it to play nicely in any browser, negates many of the benefits. I have been using a Mac at work and you can enable voice dictation. You just need to hit the ctr key twice and speak. As poor as the Mac dictaion is, it is far more reliable and robust than using Dragon in a browser and the latest version is very accurate. This product’s days are numbered and they know it, which is why there are no updates or supprt.
Game Changer!
This app especially now with the 15.60 update is an absolute must for anyone but a large volume of communication.
Years and years and years ago I think I was one of the very first users of a Dragon NaturallySpeaking 3.0 which only recognized two out of three words. The company has improved it to where it is way up in the high 90% and even closer to 100% should you be a diligent user of the product.
As a commercial insurance broker in Sacramento California I found this to be a must and if you give it some time and some diligent training I have to think you will feel the same.

The Chrome extension is not something you should use regularly. It simply has no reliability. It tends to crash quite often and even in many of the common programs that both individual and professionals use. Use the dictation box as often as you can. If the extension were to be debugged and experimented with common applications it would be worth the money. Takeaways. If you need Dragon get it and use it. If you need to use it on web browsers use the dictation box or get a Mac and use their speak recognition. Sadly the web extension is not up to par.
Extension is working well for me. I have had no problems with that loading, and it has not crashed. I tried a free voice to print program recently, and I quickly returned to Dragon. Dragon has improved my productivity tremendously. When it is incompatible with a program, a dictation box appears.
L’extension ne marche pas souvent correctement, les bugs sont tellement nombreux qu’il est impossible de les répertorier.
It has become very temperamental. One day it will work perfectly, the next it refuses to do corrections and when it does, the suggestions made have no relationship to what was said. I wish I could work out which day would be good and the Factors that made it so. For example, in this review, day came out David.
I bought the very first one to the newest one! the first one was better than 15
If it would let me I would reinstall one the older ones
Dragon 15.6 will not work with Word 2019. Word tells me that I need to install the extension, and yet the extension is installed. I will try rebooting the computer to see if that helps to get Dragon to work.
I am not really sure how companies like Nuance stay in business with products such as Dragon Voice Recognition Software (which is actually a misnomer in and of itself).
It just plain does not work, it will not click anything I ask it click and what is programmed doesn’t work. When I say “click new tab” the mouse is moved to the bottom left corner of the plus top icon. I’m sure the program told the mouse to click, however the most is clicking just outside of the interactive box. Another problem I have is I can’t select the correct tab when I have multiple tabs opened up with the same heading using Dragon software. Honestly, Dragon isn’t really that good of a software anyways, but the lazy development of this extension is displayed through its inadequacy.
This extension is a failure. It always tells me to restore the extension thinking that the extension has been removed or corrupted. I know my extension is not corrupted. I had to restart the computer every time for Google to work properly with Dragon and then it only works for 10 minutes and tells me to restore the extension again. Is there another dictation program that is going to work properly on Google Chrome?
400K Users and they don’t fix it. Crazy. Constantly have to restore the app.
Ridiculously unstable.
This extension just does not work. It has been installed but the application does not recognize it as installed so it keeps trying to reinstall it. Dragon support was not helpful. They just tell me not to use Chrome. Oh and they also say Internet Explorer and Edge are not supported. What a farce. How can they sell something that functions this poorly.
It either constantly crashes (Chrome asks me to Restore it, because it’s been disabled), or just does not work in Chrome sporadically. It’s been that way for at least a year, so I have ZERO hope it will be fixed. I have to use the PITA Dictation Box to write anything.
I would have dictated this, but Dragon Naturally Speaking is likened to a Natural Poop, a cepestory might help it come out better, but after starting with Golden Voice in 1979, and the latest version of Naturally Speaking, if this was grading for what it is, from A to F, I would give it a G-, that is not to disparage G’s though. . .Julian Eli Capata, Attorney at Law. .

Extensie werkt niet naar behoren in Chrome.
Dragon Web Extension customer service is terrible . . . no, it’s ghastly!
