Using Dragon Web Extensions to access links and other Web controls

To click a link or other website control

• Say Click <name of control>.

For example, Click Home would click a link called "Home," or Click Password would access a text field called "Password."

In many cases, the name of a control is clear (for example, the text of a link). If you're not sure, many websites will show the name in a tooltip if you hover over the control.

You can access any of the following website controls by saying their name:

• Links
• Buttons
• Checkboxes
• Images
• Radio buttons
• Text fields
• List boxes

Generally, you do not need to say the entire name of a control because Dragon will click the control once it has a unique match. If there are multiple matches, Dragon will display numbers next to each matching field.

To show all controls

1. Say one of the following:
• Show links or Click links
• Click button
• Click checkbox
• Click image
• Click radio button
• Click text field
• Click list box

Numbers appear next to all controls of that type.



If there is only one control of that type, that control will be clicked.

2. Say Choose <number> to make a selection from the numbered controls.

To hide the numbers

If you don't want to select a number, say one of the following to remove them:

• Cancel
• Hide Numbers
