PHILIPS • ON-PREMISE DICTATION WORKFLOW SOFTWARE
SpeechExec dictation and transcription software.
SpeechExec by Philips is the on-premise software range for professional digital dictation, transcription and author-to-typist document creation.
Choose SpeechExec Basic or Pro for smaller Windows-based dictation teams, or SpeechExec Enterprise for larger organisations that need central administration, virtual desktop support and more control over users, storage and workflow.
The SpeechExec range
Philips SpeechExec for dictation teams that still need structure, reliability and local control.
SpeechExec is the Philips software range for professional dictation and transcription. It gives authors, typists, office managers and IT teams a familiar way to capture voice recordings, move dictations to the right person, and complete documents with the right level of control for the organisation.
SpeechExec Basic
A straightforward option for smaller teams that need local dictation and transcription software. Simple dictation and transcription. Nothing more. Nothing less.
SpeechExec Pro
A stronger local setup for professional authors and typists, with direct dictation, more workflow tools, encryption and optional integration with Dragon Professional v16 speech recognition.
SpeechExec Enterprise
For larger organisations that need central administration, server-based management, virtual desktop support, and greater control over users, storage, and routing.
On-premise dictation software
Classic dictation and transcription workflow.
SpeechExec is designed for organisations that still need dictation and transcription managed within their own environment. Authors can record, dictations can be sent via LAN, email or FTP, and documents can be completed by a typist, assistant or transcription team — without moving the whole process into a cloud platform.
That is why SpeechExec remains a strong fit for medical practices, legal firms, courts, government departments and professional offices that require structured document production, local control, familiar author-to-typist workflows and clear IT oversight.
For smaller teams, this may be a local SpeechExec Basic or SpeechExec Pro setup. For larger organisations, it may be a managed SpeechExec Enterprise environment with central administration, virtual desktop support, reporting, mobile dictation and speech recognition options.
Local on-premise workflow
On-premise dictation for teams that need to keep control.
SpeechExec is designed for organisations that want dictation and transcription managed locally. It can support simple shared-folder setups, email or FTP routing, flexible licence models, and larger enterprise environments where IT needs central administration and virtual desktop support.
Shared folder routing
Create a central dictation workflow using shared folders, allowing work to be routed from author to typist to archive.
Email and FTP options
Send and receive dictations by email or FTP where that approach suits the users, location and IT requirements.
Flexible licensing by edition
SpeechExec Basic and Pro V12 use per-user subscription licensing, with one-year and two-year options available from VoiceX. SpeechExec Enterprise uses centrally managed concurrent licensing for larger environments.
Virtual desktop environments
SpeechExec Enterprise supports Microsoft Remote Desktop Services, Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops and VMware Horizon environments.

SpeechExec can form part of a complete professional dictation setup using Philips PocketMemo recorders, SpeechMike dictation microphones and ACC-series transcription foot controls.

SpeechExec and Dragon speech recognition
Turn recorded dictation into text for review.
SpeechExec Pro and SpeechExec Enterprise can work with Dragon Professional v16 speech recognition where the correct licences and setup are in place. This can help reduce typing time while still keeping the author, assistant or typist in control of the final document.
For suitable workflows, a recorded dictation can be converted into text, then reviewed against the original audio before the document is finished.
SpeechExec Pro + Dragon
A local Windows option for teams wanting Dragon Professional v16 inside the dictation workflow.
Enterprise + Dragon v16
For larger sites that need speech recognition inside a centrally managed SpeechExec environment.
Enterprise + Dragon Medical One
For suitable healthcare deployments using SpeechExec Enterprise Plus with SpeechKit integration licensing.
SpeechLive cloud dictation
Why more teams are moving to SpeechLive.
SpeechExec continues to be a strong choice for local and on-premise dictation needs. SpeechLive is gaining traction for its flexibility, enabling teams to work across locations and devices without installing software on every computer.
Cloud dictation, local support, and a pathway to AI.
SpeechLive gives authors, typists and administrators a secure hosted dictation and transcription workflow that can be used from the office, at home, in court, in clinic or on the road.
It is a strong fit for teams that want mobile dictation, browser access, easier administration, Australian hosting and less reliance on local installs or shared folders.
SpeechLive also opens the door to AI Speech Recognition and the SpeechLive Legal AI Assistant, allowing dictations, meetings and matter notes to support faster document creation while still keeping review and approval with the right person.
For non-legal professional teams, the SpeechLive Professional AI Assistant extends the same platform beyond transcription into AI-assisted structured document creation.
