Philips SpeechLive | Cloud

 

Philips SpeechLive cloud workflow

Dictate. Transcribe. Anywhere.

SpeechLive by Philips gives your team a secure cloud workflow for recording, sending, transcribing and managing dictation — from the office, at home, on mobile devices, or with a compatible professional dictation recorder.

Hosted and supported in Australia, SpeechLive helps authors, typists, administrators and office managers keep document creation moving without old servers, local workflow software or emailed audio files.

 

What is SpeechLive?

One cloud workspace for you and your team.

SpeechLive is a modular solution that brings together the core parts of dictation and transcription: recording, upload, routing, typing, review, administration and reporting, with optional transcription service, speech recognition and AI scribe add-on solutions. It gives each person the tools they need without forcing the whole team into one rigid way of working.

The SpeechLive difference is flexibility. SpeechLive can support traditional author-to-typist dictation, browser and mobile dictation, dedicated dictation recorders, transcription teams, optional AI speech recognition, Dragon Medical One integration, legal AI document creation, future healthcare AI options and professional transcription services.

Start basic and add on what you need. When you need it.

 

How SpeechLive works

Record. Send. Transcribe.

SpeechLive keeps work moving from author to typist, speech recognition, transcription service or document review without emailing audio files around the office.

Windows and macOS compatible.

Work from any computer or location, straight from the browser — with no traditional workflow software to install.

Record or upload dictation in SpeechLive

Dictate

Create dictations in the SpeechLive Mobile App, browser recorder or desktop app, or upload recordings from compatible professional dictation recorders.

Route dictations to typists speech recognition or transcription service in SpeechLive

Send

Route work to a dedicated typist, transcription team, SpeechLive AI Speech Recognition, Dragon Medical One or the SpeechLive transcription service. No emailing. No clumsy file sharing.

Typist transcription review and final document creation in SpeechLive

Transcribe

Typists can transcribe from SpeechLive using their preferred foot control, correct AI-generated text, check against the original audio and return the finished document direct from the browser.

 

Basic, Pro and Enterprise

Choose the SpeechLive plan that matches your team.

SpeechLive is available in Basic, Pro and Enterprise plan levels. The right choice depends on how many users you need, how authors will record, whether typists need full worklist management, whether speech recognition is required and whether integrations, reporting or enterprise administration are part of the rollout.

VoiceX can help map your authors, typists, administrators, office managers and add-ons before you purchase. Upgrading is easy and can be done at any time during your subscription.

Basic Best for simple mobile dictation and file upload use cases.
Pro Adds stronger team workflow capability, browser recording, assignment and optional speech recognition.
Enterprise Built for larger teams needing advanced administration, reporting, integration and enterprise control.
 

Integrations and document systems

Connect SpeechLive to the system your team already uses.

For some teams, SpeechLive is used as a standalone dictation and transcription platform. For others, the value is in connecting dictation, attachments and transcripts with legal practice management or document management systems.

Current integration options include platforms such as Actionstep and iManage, with additional setup pathways provided for systems such as Clio and NetDocuments. More Australian and New Zealand legal and medical practice management integrations are also in development.

Built around real roles

Authors, typists and administrators. Different tools. Same browser platform.

SpeechLive is not just a recorder app. It is a role-based document-creation environment that supports the people who dictate, the people who transcribe, the people who manage the work, and the teams that need visibility across the process.

Authors

Record dictations, attach files, set priorities, upload recorder files, use speech recognition and track job progress.

Typists

Access assigned worklists, play audio in the browser, use foot controls, sort jobs, manage notifications and return documents.

Administrators

Manage users, relationships, rules, add-ons, reporting, integrations, SSO, speech recognition activation and account settings.

Office managers

View work across the account, reassign dictations, manage teams and help keep urgent work moving when people are away.

 

For authors

Dictate the way you prefer to work.

Some authors want to dictate from a smartphone. Some prefer a browser recorder. Others still work best with a dedicated dictaphone-style recorder because it is fast, tactile and familiar. SpeechLive can support each of these ways of working.

Authors can still use professional dictation recorders such as the Philips DPM8000, selected older Olympus DS7000 and DS9500 recorders, and newer OM SYSTEM recorders such as the DS9100, with upload handled through the SpeechLive Desktop App where the workstation and recorder are configured for that process.

Mobile app

Record, review and send dictations from iPhone or Android when away from the desk.

Browser recorder

Create dictations directly in SpeechLive without installing full workflow software.

Dedicated recorder

Keep using a professional handheld recorder where it suits the author and the work.

Priority and files

Set priority, due details and attachments so the typist receives useful context.

 

SpeechLive Mobile App

Dictate when the work happens, not when you get back to the desk.

The SpeechLive Mobile App gives authors a practical way to record and send dictations from outside the office. It is useful for lawyers leaving court, clinicians moving between rooms, consultants travelling between appointments and professionals who need to capture work while it is still fresh.

Depending on the workflow, mobile dictations can be sent to a typist, speech recognition, the transcription service or another supported destination. Authors can also adjust dictation properties and add attachments where needed.

The SpeechLive Mobile App is included for all SpeechLive authors.

Mobile dictation Record and send audio from the phone.
Speech recognition Send audio for speech-to-text where enabled.
Attachments Add useful context for the typist or team.
 

For typists and transcription teams

A professional workspace for transcription.

SpeechLive gives typists a browser-based workspace for receiving, playing, sorting, transcribing and returning dictations, while still supporting familiar transcription tools such as foot controls.

Web player and worklist

Typists can access assigned dictations through the browser, use the pop-out transcription player, manage their worklist and keep track of new, urgent or returned jobs.

Foot control support

Use compatible foot controls for hands-free playback. VoiceX can help match Philips foot controls, Infinity IN-USB3 and selected older Olympus RSxxH foot controls where suitable.  Simple connection in local and remote desktop environments.

Correction of AI-generated documents

When speech recognition or an AI assistant is enabled, typists can review and correct generated text against the original audio rather than typing every word from scratch - speeding up your document turnaround.

Flexible team cover

Work can be routed, reassigned or picked up by the right person depending on priority, user relationships and team setup.

 

Administration and office manager control

All the functionality without the restrictions.

SpeechLive gives administrators and office managers the control needed to support small practices, transcription teams and larger multi-user environments from any computer, in any location.

Including support for remote desktop and virtual environments

Users and relationships

Add users, define author-to-typist relationships and set up the right team structure.

Rules and priorities

Preset dictation properties, use time or event rules and help urgent dictations move first.

Team visibility and reporting

Office managers can view work across the account, reassign dictations, recover deleted dictations and run activity reports.

Enterprise options

Support larger environments with MS Entra integration, user provisioning, advanced reporting and integration controls.

 

Replacing older dictation systems

Still using Olympus ODMS or SpeechExec on-premises?

Before replacing old licences or rebuilding an existing setup, trial SpeechLive to see whether a cloud workflow is now the easier and more cost-effective option.

No old server to maintain

SpeechLive removes the need for a traditional on-premise dictation server and gives users access from supported browsers and devices. Saving you money on additional infrastructure, maintenance and support.

Same familiar working

Authors can still dictate using a dictaphone or recorder in addition to the SpeechLive Mobile App; typists can still transcribe; and teams can still use priorities, author relationships, and review steps.

Automate Transcription

Start with classic dictation and transcription, then add SpeechLive Speech Recognition or Dragon Medical One for automatic speech-to-text conversion.  Then, when you are ready, try the next generation of document creation: SpeechLive Legal AI or SpeechLive Healthcare AI scribes

 

Speech recognition and AI add-ons

Start with dictation. Add speech recognition or AI when it makes sense.

SpeechLive can remain a classic dictate-and-transcribe workflow, or it can become the platform that connects your team to AI transcription, Dragon Medical One, legal AI document creation and future healthcare AI options.

SpeechLive transcription service

Need human transcription without your own typist?

SpeechLive can also support professional transcription services for organisations that do not have internal typists, need overflow support, or want a flexible way to handle dictation during leave, peak periods, or staffing changes.

This should be assessed separately from the core SpeechLive workflow setup, because turnaround, content type, formatting expectations and cost model can vary.
