2023-07-13	Lance Burdett	Chrome continues to remove the web extension, so frustrating at having to reinstall
2023-04-21	David Rudmin	It constantly freezes up, and so you have to quick go find the switch to turn it off, and then turn it back on. But you do need it, because otherwise Dragon will double letters, all over everywhere.
2023-04-17	muxxxxy	The company's response to the problem, if not to the queries put online here, seems that we are to buy the new update. I wonder how many of us in the throes of the present economic mess in the UK can afford hundreds of pounds primarily, it seems, to fix this extension...? I've never known any company to charge such a huge amount, if anything, for updating software which we've already bought.
2023-03-26	Brendan	Dommage que Dragon cesse de fonctionner régulièrement dès que je change de page avec cette extension... Le problème est que Dragon ne semble pas assurer de maintenance sérieuse de son produit, c'est fort dommage car c'est une reconnaissance vocale efficace. L'extension permet d'ajouter le support de certaines commandes de correction dans Chrome, cette extension est donc importante pour qui veux utiliser Dragon à son plein potentiel sur une application Web. Nuance, merci de bien vouloir mettre à jour Dragon et cette extension car le bug est connu et indiqué sur votre site internet, il est aussi connus sur le forum KnowBrainer qui est une communauté qui promouvoi votre produit. On ne réclame pas de nouvelle fonctionnalité, juste une mise à jour de maintenance, rien de bien fou...
2023-02-02	Jen Blackstone	I have to restore the Extension at least of once a day. Trying to stay productive as my finger dexterity slides down hill slowly due to Parkinson's. I could not use Dragon for almost a year due to troubles with Internal and external microphone(s). I finally hired a local computer guy to reinstall and fix Dragon, so now it works with my internal microophone and I also can do Zoom again Using the internal microphone.
2023-02-01	Alex Ghenis	In addition to everybody else's problems with it crashing– which I've had for ages – the software all of a sudden is making it so that random words have extra letters in them (for example, "prooblems"). This just started yesterday and hasn't remedied itself. At least in the past, it was mostly usable even if I had to restart it every now and then. Now I'm having to go back and edit all sorts of things I write, with my one hand that I can use to type one key at a time, and I'm wasting precious time with work. Just horrible and there's no other real options available.
2023-01-20	Steve Stewart	The same as everybody else's complaint. Keeps crashing and requires restarting. Beyond infuriating!!!
2022-12-13	Nick Boyd	The same as everybody else's complaint. Keeps crashing and requires restarting. Come on guys invest a little make this thing work!
2022-12-01	Michael Arleth	I injured my hand and about this software to continue practicing law. It is intensely frustrating to open the dictation box everything the time I want to type something into Chrome. The processes slow and rarely responsive.
2022-11-04	Kristen Boney	Well, doesn't look like anyone is reading these reviews from Dragon over the past several years. I keep getting a message that the plug-in has been disabled,even though I haven't made any changes. It works almost exactly half the time to dictate in Outlook for Chrome, which is one of the main places I need to use it. Really frustrating that no one at nuance seems to be paying attention to this. Review from 2020- Have never been able to get it to work- I rely on Dragon on my work computer and love it, it's too bad this extension is so terrible
2022-09-18	Dougie Sinclair	Everything that everybody has said in the comments I agree withPlus much more I don't feel like trying to dictate. I feel if the company does not even know pay attention to our reviews or update or upgrade the software at all at all. I swore after Microsoft bought them things would change but I guess I was wrong. Yet the same problems in every web browser. EvenOn Microsoft's own the web browserEverything still crashes.. You can even see the errors as I dictate in this review. Good luck and Godspeed. I wish I had another option
2022-08-23	Tyler McHaley	I have no trouble with the Dragon extension for Google Chrome. I need to restore it every time my computer restarts, but it doesn't bother me. A couple of clicks is all it takes to get things up and running again. I don't know anything about the crashing that everyone keeps mentioning in the reviews. That's never happened to me. Anyway, I give it five stars.
2022-08-22	Matthew Clay	We are done with this software. The Dragon software, its web extensions, and even the drivers for the recommended headphones are unreliable and buggy. Constant crashes, slow performance, strange interaction with microphone drivers, memory leaks, so forth and so on. Have tried many attempts to fix issues, including reinstall on a freshly formatted machine and expansion of system memory. I work in a disability resources office in a sizable college, and I am hearing the exact same concerns from our students that use this web extension, and Dragon software in general. Our students rely on dependable adaptive technology in order to access their course materials. This extension is NOT dependable. Given the amount of time these issues have persisted without a fix, I cannot recommend to students, and we will likely move away from this software as an institution when it comes time to upgrade to newer versions.
2022-08-03	Simon Allen	Abysmal. Constantly crashes and on a regular basis I have to remove and reinstall. However whether it's Google that have the issue or Dragon as it is the worst piece of software that I've ever used.
2022-08-02	Vinod Raghavan	Keep getting the message " Dragon extension for Chrome has stopped working", re-enabling it is not a matter of just turning it back on as you can only use the dictation box, you have to shut down and reboot for it to work and then it stops again, waiting for my company to move to another platform for voice software, stopped using it in my home pc's.
2022-07-22	Michael Buss	Die Erweiterung ist leider völliger Müll! Sie installiert sich immer wieder neu, und Chrome muss bei Arbeiten am Computer häufig neu gestartet werden, weil die Erweiterung irgendwann nicht mehr funktioniert. Ansonsten lässt DNS aber keine Wünsche offen, obwohl ich mich freuen würde, wenn jetzt endlich mal ein Upgrade käme.
2022-07-07	Bernard Villegas	It crashes multiple times a day. I am glad I spent a small fotune for this program that allows me to become frustrated and angy so often.
2022-05-30	John Rasor	Terrible. Completely unreliable, crashes constantly.
2022-05-16	Stephanie Kurtz	Rarely works. Quits constantly. Extremely frustrating when using it out of necessity.
2022-05-08	John-Paul Lavoie	Makes a Legos website go into a loading loop in the Lego store
2022-04-20	Darrell Cartwright	I am not sure that Dragon is responses, and my rating is pretty similar to most ratings here so it may be merely redundant. The extension works… Sometimes. There appears to be no rhyme or reason for when it does. And then occasionally it disconnects, has to be uninstalled and reinstalled. Anytime I have more than just a few words to type, I will just pull up Notepad and dictate into it, and then copy and paste. It's a shame, because it's just unnecessary steps for something that should be straightforward.
2022-03-31	Philippe	Chrome est souvent mis à jour, et l'extension Dragon seulement toutes les morts d'évêque. Il y a donc sans arrêt des bogues d'incompatibilité avec Chrome. Dommage qu'il y ait tant de laisser-aller de la part de Nuance
2022-03-18	Forrest Phillips	I would love to try it, but one of the main things I use on the Internet is messenger. As in, messenger.com. Normally, when I send a message, I just say "press enter". When I try this with the extension on, it just goes to the next line and it doesn't send. I'm going to try to mess around with it some more, but when it makes it so awkward to use one of my main web apps, I just can't use it.
2022-02-27	Benjamin Charles	Vraiment pas bien. S'installe mal et ralentit tout !
2022-02-17	Gordon Rutherford	It frequently crashes.. It will lock up and the only way to get it to shut down is to restart the computer or go to taskmaster and disable it. Pretty disappointed.
