What Philips SpeechLive is
Philips SpeechLive captures, transcribes, and manages dictations, routing recordings to assistants, teams, or speech recognition. Users can record in a browser or mobile app, upload recordings, assign work, track job status, and use human transcription services. Its AI Assistants can turn audio and supporting PDFs or images into draft documents using templates and natural-language editing.
The API uses an OpenAPI interface and real-time webhooks; listed integration partners include Actionstep, Clio, iManage, Microsoft Azure, Microsoft AI, NetDocuments, and Nuance. SpeechLive encrypts dictations with AES 256-bit encryption and offers email-based MFA and Microsoft credential single sign-on. The maker says AI processing data is deleted after processing and not used to train AI models. Dictations and attachments are hosted on Microsoft Azure and stored regionally; administrators can restore accidentally deleted dictations for up to 30 days. The paid service has no free plan and starts at $12.90/user/mo (annual). A 14-day trial includes Enterprise features, up to 10 users, and 200 speech-recognition minutes per user, with no credit card required. SpeechLive supports web, Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and API access.
