I do not personally use Dragon however when using with Skype it required the download of an "API" which I think means additional code to provide functionality for the device. Something similar may be required for Dragon. Definitely worth a little research.

i haven't had any luck so far, not because of skype but because the bluetooth on my computer won't register this as a full headset (mic and headphones) it only picks it up as headphones. i think this has something to do with pairing though. apparently it has two profiles, one utilizes remote controlling from the headphones and maybe the mic too and i guess the other only supports the headphones. i guess i'm going to try to UNPAIR them and see if that works.

I haven't tried skyping but you can go on facebook and email on the phone. There is no reason why skype should not work.

Make sure the base unit is powered and attached to your router LAN port with the Ethernet cable. The phone does not need to be connected to a landline, it works over the internet (VOIP). Fully charge phone on charger base I'd recommend you set up the handset near the base unit for best connectivity Press left key just under the screen Set language and country Wait for connection and "successful" Sign in to your Skype account or create a new one if you don't already have one Press Up Calls key and select &lt;new user&gt; Press OK key Enter your Skype User Name Press OK key Enter Skype password Press OK key Press yes for saving your user name and password, or No if that is your preference, but it is easier if you stay signed in. Wait for connection and "successful". Come back with more info if you still get stuck.

Good luck! I had the same problem. Here's what happened: I bought two of these, neither of which worked, neither of which the company will stand behind. It is a huge rip-off. Tech support denied me a replacement or upgrade because I hadn't logged in to the program even though my previous calls to tech support were to ask for help in getting the product to work. Catch-22: Product defective --&gt; Can't use or login --&gt; Can't get replacement because not logging in. Go figure.

You won't really have enough control over it but it is amazing while it lasts. Just buy a cheap student light and that should fix it! But on the other hand the webcam it self does what it says it will do. Basically it is in 360P - 720p and you could use it for some good quality skype calls and or omegle but for making video and uploading them this won't work as good as a 1080p webcam. I highly recommend this product for basic use and you should unplug the webcam so the children don't brake it because it is really breakable so be careful! I would say 8.5/10 get it :) VERY GOOD FOR THE PRICE :DD You won't really have enough control over it but it is amazing while it lasts. Just buy a cheap student light and that should fix it!

Yes, actually skype app is pre-loaded in the tablet, and we used it right out of the box (After having it charge overnight). Worked seamlessly and without problems.

I called sharp, and their tech support was having the same problem. Seems to be a skype software issue. Does anybody know how to reinstall it?

On my computer Skype was pre-loaded so search your program menu for Skype and click the executable file. If you already have an account, just sign-in. If not, then sign up for an account.

I don't use Skype, so I don't know, but I'd go to manage apps and click on Skype and hit clear data then try it again It should work

It works with Skype and the mute button works too. Sometimes I notice Skype wacks out and audio won't work after a few calls, unplugging the usb and reinserting fixes it.

I have a Dell desktop and it is connected by an spnd connection. The computer automatically identifies it and its ready to use. Now just follow the directions to download the skype version you want make your contacts and you are ready to go. According to the directions it also works with Mac. Hope this helps.

I have Vonage and plugged my skype dual phone into the Vonage adapter and it works fine. You just need to use a telephone wire splitter for the phone wire on the Vonage unit. I am absolutely sold on Skype and will most likely be dropping Vonage altogether. I'm giving it a little more time to be sure (it's been about 2 months). I almost didn't attempt to use Skype because of the MagicJack horror that I tried first.
