The AI medical scribe that finishes the note for you
Talk with your patient. Microsoft Dragon Copilot listens to the visit, drafts a specialty-specific note, and suggests codes, so documentation is done before the next patient instead of after dinner.

The documentation burden
Clinicians did not train for years to type
Every visit ends with a note, an order set, a code, and often a letter. The work follows clinicians home, and it shows up as burnout, turnover, and appointments that never get scheduled.

"Clinicians are able to talk naturally with patients, and the system is able to draft a structured note instantly. That saves a lot of time and mental energy."
Snehal Gandhi, MDVP and Chief Medical Information Officer, Cooper University Health Care
How it works
From conversation to signed note
Dragon Copilot fits the visit you already run. Clinicians talk naturally, and the AI does the documentation in the background.
Capture the visit
Record the conversation from a phone, tablet, computer, or browser, or dictate in real time. Multi-speaker encounters in 50+ languages are supported.
AI drafts the note
Audio is processed on HITRUST-certified Microsoft Azure infrastructure by AI trained on 15M+ clinical encounters, then turned into a specialty-specific note.
Review and ask
Edit the draft, ask questions about the encounter, and get evidence-based answers with citations from trusted references.
Send it to the EHR
Transfer finished documentation into 200+ EHR systems by direct integration or by voice, such as "transfer HPI" or "transfer all".
More than a note
What one visit produces
A traditional scribe writes the note. Dragon Copilot drafts the documentation around it too, ready for clinician review.
Specialty-specific notes
Structured, customizable clinical notes for ambulatory, emergency, and inpatient care.
Coding suggestions
Coding recommendations generated from the encounter, without extra clinician work.
Referral letters
Draft referral letters directly from what was discussed in the visit.
After-visit summaries
Plain-language summaries patients can take home.
Orders
Order suggestions captured from the conversation for clinician review.
Evidence with citations
Answers from sources such as the CDC, FDA, MedlinePlus, and MSD Manuals, cited in place.

More time at the bedside
Nurses documented faster and spent more of each shift with patients.
~2 hrsOf charting saved per nurse in a 12-hour shift
"Our nurses have experienced significant improvements in their time at the bedside with the patient."
Results as reported by Microsoft and customers. Some were measured with DAX Copilot, the predecessor to Microsoft Dragon Copilot.
Ambient and dictation
One assistant for every way clinicians document
Some visits are best captured ambiently. Some notes are faster to dictate. Dragon Copilot includes Dragon Medical One real-time dictation, so clinicians switch between the two without changing tools.
An AI medical scribe captures the conversation between a clinician and patient and turns it into a draft clinical note automatically. Microsoft Dragon Copilot does this with ambient AI, and also supports real-time dictation, coding suggestions, referral letters, and after-visit summaries.
What happened to Nuance DAX Copilot?
DAX Copilot has been discontinued. Microsoft Dragon Copilot is its successor, combining DAX Copilot ambient documentation with Dragon Medical One dictation and new Copilot capabilities in one assistant.
Dragon Copilot integrates directly with 200+ EHR systems and transfers documentation by voice commands such as "transfer all". With any other EHR, clinicians copy the finished note into the chart or dictate into it with the included Dragon Medical One dictation. A consultation is the best way to plan the workflow for your EHR.
Office visits, telehealth, urgent care, emergency medicine, and inpatient admit and consult notes, across all ambulatory specialties and primary care. Mercy also uses it for nursing documentation.
Can it document visits in other languages?
Yes. Dragon Copilot can capture encounters in more than 50 languages, so patients can speak in the language they are most comfortable with.
What devices does it run on?
Clinicians can capture visits on a current iPhone or Android device, on a Windows workstation with Dragon Medical, or in a modern web browser. A secure internet connection is required for cloud processing.
How is patient data protected?
Dragon Copilot is a HITRUST CSF certified solution built on Microsoft Azure, with multi-factor authentication support, a responsible AI framework, and secure management of protected health information.
Can Dragon Copilot replace human scribes?
Many organizations reduce their reliance on scribes. Beacon Health System reported a 50% reduction in scribe reliance across several clinics, and no longer uses scribes in its emergency room.
How do we evaluate it?
Start with a consultation. We review your documentation workflow, plan integration with your IT and clinical teams, and map out a rollout with training and adoption milestones.
