Philips SpeechExec | On-Premise

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.

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 to the right person, 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 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, concurrent licence models, and larger enterprise environments where IT needs central administration and virtual desktop support.

SpeechExec and Dragon speech recognition

Turn recorded dictation into text for review.

SpeechExec Pro and SpeechExec Enterprise can work with Dragon 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.

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.
