Microsoft Dragon Copilot organizes your content by sessions; each patient encounter is related to a session, which contains all recordings, transcripts, notes, etc. that are associated with that encounter. The name of the current session is displayed at the top of the main window, to the left of the Timeline tab.

Work with the dictation clipboard
The Dictation clipboard session is a special type of session, permanently pinned to the top of your session list, that captures text dictated in an unsupported environment. If your cursor wasn't placed in an editable field or if the field it was placed in isn't fully supported, Dragon Copilot writes the text in the dictation clipboard as a new memo. From there, you can copy and transfer it to your EHR.
Dragon Copilot desktop only: You can also configure Dragon Copilot to write the text in the unsupported environment instead; in this case, only basic dictation functionality is available. Â When the cursor focus is in a field that only supports basic dictation, the microphone icon changes:Â
The Dictation clipboard session doesn't have any tabs; however, it offers the same functionality as the Memo tab does in other sessions. For more information, see: Work with memos.
Important:Â Make sure you transfer any text stored in the dictation clipboard before you sign out; otherwise, Dragon Copilot clears the dictation clipboard, deleting any text.
