Let AI create templates for you
When creating a new note section template or document template, you can have the template builder create the template for you. Use natural language to describe the type of template you want built or provide an example. It's now easier to create the templates you want for your clinical workflows.
Preview your template outcome
When using the template builder, you can see a preview of what the generated content looks like before you use the template in your clinical workflow. Request edits or modifications, and the template builder makes the refinements for you, ensuring you reach the results you want.

Record, dictate, and edit where you work
Dragon Copilot 5.0 adds new ways to capture and refine documentation within your workflow. Start recordings more easily, dictate directly into supported Dragon Copilot fields, and use AI-powered editing to update content without leaving your current task.
Dragon Copilot now uses a single microphone button for both dictation and ambient recording. Simply switch the microphone to the desired mode, depending on what and how you want your recording captured.
On web and desktop, quickly start recording directly from your worklist. Hover over the patient session you want to record, select the icon, and start recording your patient encounter.
And if you’re in a Dragon Copilot text field, you now have a quick way to dictate wherever your cursor is. Just select the microphone icon 
and start talking.
This release also introduces a corrections menu for web, desktop, and embedded applications. Use your voice to select or correct text you want to change, and select an alternative from the list to help you make changes faster. You can select alternatives manually or with your voice.
Use voice commands for more
Dragon Copilot runs on commands. Use a voice command to edit text, navigate, transfer, and more.
