Chapter 8. Using the Internet

This chapter describes how to navigate the Internet with your voice.

You need to ensure that the following prerequisites are met before trying the
procedures in this chapter:
v You have a connection to the Internet, either by means of an established

account with a service provider or through a connection at work. To work
with America Online

(AOL

), you must be registered as an AOL user.

v Internet Explorer Version 4.01 with Service Pack 2 or higher, and/or

America Online Version 7.0 is installed on your computer.

Attention word, such as 'Computer', followed by the command.

If ViaVoice continually misrecognizes your commands, you should select the
option to require an Attention word—to be used before all voice
commands—from the Dictation tab in ViaVoice Options. Or you can select
the Use key for commands check box and choose a key to press while
saying a command.
