I tried using Dragon for email using Microsoft Outlook 98, and for Net surfing with Microsoft Internet Explorer 5. These are the optimal programs to use, according to Dragon. Surfing the Web is slow, but promising. But it's tougher to click on search buttons or check the boxes in user surveys. Dragon Systems' manager of technical support Kevin Gervais said it's difficult for the software to recognize things like a GIF posing as a search button.
Surfers say the number of the square where the button is that they'd like to click.
The grid keeps getting smaller and smaller until it's right over the button. It's accurate, if slow. It was difficult clicking back and forth between the frame that displays the contents of my inbox and the frame that displays the email message. The best way to dictate email addresses is to devise shortcuts using Dragon's vocabulary builder feature. Dragon users have created all kinds of Web sites, chat rooms, and resources as training aids.
