Four ways to turn your voice into text
At the cursor on Windows & Mac
Use the SpeechLive Desktop App to control your microphone and dictate at the cursor. Create letters, emails and file notes in supported applications, then navigate, select, edit and format your text by voice.
In your web browser
Create dictations, use speech recognition and manage audio and recognised text in SpeechLive through your browser. Keep your worklist and document creation workflow close at hand, wherever you are working.
With the included SpeechLive Mobile App
Capture instructions and file notes with the included SpeechLive mobile app for iOS and Android. Use mobile speech recognition or record and send dictations into your workflow. Record offline and upload when you reconnect. Explore the SpeechLive mobile app →
From recorded audio
Upload recordings from your dictation recorder or other audio sources for background speech recognition. Convert existing dictations, interviews and conversations into text without speaking them again.
SpeechLive Legal Direct on screen
The desktop app keeps speech recognition controls and personalisation tools beside your document.
Built around legal work
Speak naturally. Keep control of the wording.
Legal vocabulary & personalisation
Specialist legal speech recognition supports legal terminology. Add names and practice-specific terms to your vocabulary for real-time speech recognition. Use text replacements for preferred wording and frequently used phrases; replacements sync across desktop, web and mobile and apply to both real-time and recorded-audio recognition.
Voice navigation, editing & formatting
Use desktop direct-to-cursor commands to select, edit and format text in supported applications. For example, say “Select last word”, “Bold that” or “Italicize that”. “Scratch that” deletes selected text; “Undo that” reverses the last action. These editing commands are desktop-only, not web or mobile features. Text replacements provide reusable wording separately.
Real-time Desktop MultiSpeak
Use MultiSpeak in the SpeechLive Desktop App to transcribe a live conversation in real time, with speaker labels, timestamps and automatic punctuation. For an existing recording, upload the audio and send it for recognition later. Review speaker attribution and the transcript before relying on the result.
Smart Transcript & Refine
Available through SpeechLive AI where enabled for your licensed speech-recognition account, Smart Transcript adds punctuation and basic corrections. Refine can improve grammar and punctuation, remove filler words and apply a business or legal style while aiming to preserve meaning. Neither produces a guaranteed verbatim record. Check availability with VoiceX and review every result before using it in correspondence or a matter file.

Workflow included
More than a speech recognition licence
The included SpeechLive Pro workflow connects the ways you capture and process dictation. Manage audio and recognised text in the cloud, track work and collaborate with your transcription team where additional user licences are assigned.
SpeechLive Legal Direct
The legal speech recognition package: desktop, browser and mobile recognition, recorded-audio conversion, real-time Desktop MultiSpeak and personalisation tools. SpeechLive AI processing options depend on your licensed account.
SpeechLive Pro workflow
The cloud dictation and transcription foundation, included in this product. Capture, upload and manage dictations without purchasing a separate Pro workflow licence for this author.

Your devices. Your working day.
From your desk to your next appointment
Configure your Philips dictation devices
Configure supported Philips Digital Pocket Memo (DPM) recorders, SpeechMike Premium and SpeechMike Ambient devices through the desktop tools. Set up your recorder and microphone around the way you dictate.
Automatically upload dictations from supported Pocket Memo recorders or monitored folders into your SpeechLive workflow on Windows. Automatic device and folder upload are Windows-only; manual recorder upload is supported on Mac.
Work wherever you need to be
Access your workflow through a browser, use the desktop app for dictation at the cursor, and take the mobile app with you. Your named-user subscription supports your work across locations, without a local SpeechLive server to maintain.
Install the desktop app and any device connectors required for your hardware. Browser hardware integration may require both an extension and its companion application.
Windows and Mac are supported. The redesigned desktop app is available for Windows and Apple Silicon Macs; Intel Macs use the legacy app. Available commands, device functions and application integration can vary. VoiceX can check your setup during your trial.
Australian hosting for your legal workflow
Australian SpeechLive accounts are hosted on Microsoft Azure infrastructure in Australia. Manage dictations and recognised text in a central cloud workflow, with encryption in transit and at rest.

- ISO 27001:2022 — information security management.
- ISO 9001:2015 — quality management.

Speech recognition or AI document drafting?
