Dragon Copilot can simulate many types of keystrokes or actions that you can string together to create a Workflow.

Here are the types of steps available.

Step type

Function

Open app

Add this step to open a specific application. Specify the following:

  • File path: Enter the full path and name of the file.

  • Parameters: Enter the command line argument you want the file to open with; for example, a template.

  • Start in directory: Enter the path of the folder where the application should open.

  • Open file: Select the size of the application window (normal, minimized, or maximized).

Note: If the application is already running when you invoke this command, Dragon Copilot will switch to the application rather than open it.

This sets a waiting time in milliseconds to pause between steps (for example, 500 ms) for the application to open with the specified template (range: 50-30,00 ms).

Pauses until a window with the specified title opens or the set waiting time expires. Specify the following:
