 Firefox users beware August 6, 2006

While its basic speech recognition is fine for creating written documents, if you plan on using this for any other application, specifically Outlook and Mozilla Firefox, it just plain doesn't work very well.
If you use Internet Explorer (Allah forbid) you get most of the nice little web browsing features like being able to toggle distinct labels for all text or image links, and a little cursor that shows you where it's clicking for you. In Firefox these things are nowhere to be seen. Despite the claim to support Firefox in the PR I'd love to know what they think works.
Outlook is another problem application. There are supposed to be generic commands that work for most email apps and most of these commands fall on deaf ears in Outlook. Never mind that the window for composing an email message in Outlook is very non-standard and does not behave well with DNS.
Oy. I'm disappointed.
[edit]
I've since learned that the standard version does not support Outlook 2003. It is still possible to get around using keyboard shortcuts but it's not ideal.
As for Firefox, I've been saved by an extension called Mouseless. It pops up little numbers next to anything on a webpage that you can possibly click, then you just say the number of the item you want to click. Again not ideal but it will suffice. It seems the truly whiz-bang features are still reserved for Internet Explorer (unfortunate indeed).
 Amazing - I talk and it types! August 4, 2006

I've wanted speech recognition that really works for a long time. At last it is here! I am using Dragon to write this review, and now using it to do my blog too.
It takes a little bit to get used to saying "period" to get the punctuations to show up, but I'm getting the hang of it.
The big suprise - I can control my mouse and PC with it too. I say "open Internet Explorer" and presto - there it is. I can surf the web by voice and use Yahoo IM too.
Cool.
