Five ways to use SpeechLive AI speech recognition

Choose the method that suits the task — all with the same licence.

Your dictations, meetings, interviews and conversations automatically transcribed from speech-to-text with SpeechLive AI Speech Recognition

1. Real-time speech recognition on Windows and Mac

Dictate directly at the cursor.

The SpeechLive Desktop App provides an always-available speech recognition control. Place the cursor in a supported text field and speak. The recognised text is inserted where the document is being created.

  • Dictate into supported documents, emails, browser fields and business applications.
  • Add names, terminology, abbreviations and uncommon expressions to your personal vocabulary.
  • Create reusable voice commands for signatures, clauses, addresses and frequently used text.
  • Use a built-in microphone or professional hardware such as a Philips SpeechMike or SpeechOne.
  • Use the same licensed account from Windows or Mac in different work locations.

2. Background and deferred speech recognition

Record the audio first, then let SpeechLive process it.

Background recognition is ideal when the author does not want to remain at the computer while the document is created. Record naturally, submit the audio and continue with other work.

  • Use audio created in the SpeechLive Mobile App.
  • Upload dictation from professional recorders such as Philips DPM or compatible OM SYSTEM devices.
  • Upload supported audio supplied by a client, colleague or other third party.
  • Review the recognised text yourself or route it to an administrator, assistant or typist.
  • Keep the original audio available for checking and foot-control playback.

3. Live recognition in the SpeechLive Browser Recorder

Capture the audio and recognised text together.

Record a dictation, meeting, interview or conversation in SpeechLive while the text appears live. Because the original audio is retained, the result can be checked immediately or routed for correction.

  • Review and edit the recognised text immediately after recording.
  • Send the audio and text to an administrator, assistant or typist.
  • Use a SpeechMike for traditional dictation.
  • Use a SpeechMike Ambient for dictation, consultations, meetings or conversations.
  • Combine a headset microphone with a foot control for hands-free dictation.

4. Recorded speech recognition from the Mobile App

Record on mobile and submit for background recognition.

Capture dictations, meetings, interviews, consultations or conversations in the SpeechLive Mobile App and submit the recording for recognition within the SpeechLive workflow.

  • Add details and attachments before sending the recording.
  • Select the appropriate recognition or AI output.
  • Review the text yourself or route it to an administrator or typist.
  • Keep the original audio available for checking where required.

5. Real-time speech recognition on mobile

Speak into your phone and see the text immediately.

The SpeechLive Mobile App can convert speech to text while the user dictates, making it practical to create content away from the computer without waiting for background processing.

  • View recognised text while speaking.
  • Use the text immediately on the mobile device.
  • Keep the content in SpeechLive or send it for proofreading, depending on the configured workflow.
  • Use the same SpeechLive account as the desktop and browser applications.

Choose the output that suits the recording

SpeechLive goes beyond one type of speech-to-text.

Traditional dictation, a client meeting and a multi-person interview require different outputs. SpeechLive lets the user choose how the recording should be processed.

Standard SpeechLive speech recognition output

Standard speech recognition

Creates text that stays close to the words spoken. This suits traditional dictation where the author speaks punctuation and structure, or where a typist will complete the final document against the original audio.

SpeechLive Smart Transcript option

Smart Transcript

Applies punctuation and basic text formatting to create a cleaner, easier-to-read transcript while keeping the spoken content recognisable.

SpeechLive Smart Refine option

Smart Refine

Improves grammar, punctuation and readability while preserving the original meaning. Users can select a professional business or legal style.

SpeechLive Multi-Speaker Transcript option

Multi-Speaker Transcript

Separates speakers and adds time-coded speaker sections, making meetings, interviews, consultations and group discussions easier to follow.

SpeechLive Quick Recap and Detailed Summary options

Quick Recap and Detailed Summary

Quick Recap provides a short overview for rapid understanding. Detailed Summary extracts the essential points and presents the main content in a structured form.

SpeechLive Advanced Insights option

Advanced Insights

Identifies important topics, tasks and possible follow-up actions from longer recordings, providing a useful starting point for professional review.

Human-in-the-loop review

Keep the speed of AI with the control professional documents require.

SpeechLive can retain the original recording alongside the recognised text. That gives the author, administrator, assistant or typist a reliable source for checking names, details and wording before the document is approved or used.

  • Review recognised text directly in SpeechLive.
  • Route work from authors to nominated typists or teams.
  • Use priorities, attachments and dictation properties.
  • Use compatible transcription foot controls for efficient playback and correction.
  • Continue using traditional transcription when full human document creation is required.
