SpeechLive Legal Direct & SpeechLive Professional Direct

Six ways to use SpeechLive speech recognition

Real-time speech recognition. Deferred speech recognition.

Automatic conversion of speech to text, where you want it and when you need it.

Choose where to dictate and when to turn speech into text. SpeechLive Legal Direct and SpeechLive Professional Direct add specialist speech recognition to the SpeechLive platform, while the wider offering supports browser, mobile and recorded-audio methods with author-to-typist review.

Unlike speech recognition software of yesterday, SpeechLive uses the power of AI to convert both single-speaker dictation as well as transcribing multiple speakers - perfect for meetings, interviews, consultations and more.

Keep the recognition method that suits each task: real-time dictation, recorded audio or multi-speaker transcription. VoiceX can match the SpeechLive Pro or Enterprise setup and recognition module to your users.
