Philips SpeechLive

Cloud-based dictation, speech recognition, and transcription for professional documentwork

Visit Philips SpeechLive

Philips SpeechLive is a cloud dictation and speech recognition service that lets users record dictations from a smartphone app, web browser, or voice recorder, then transcribe them automatically, draft documents with AI assistants, or send them to a human transcription service. It addresses the need to capture spoken input and convert it into written documents without local installation.

Core capabilities include the SpeechLive workflow for recording, uploading, and managing dictations; AI speech recognition with legal terminology support, Smart Transcript, AI summaries, and multi-speaker transcription; and Legal, Health, and Professional AI Assistants that produce draft documents from audio using system or custom templates. An on-demand human transcription service, a SpeechLive API for third-party integrations, single sign-on via Microsoft Entra ID, and support for Philips dictation hardware are also available.

SpeechLive targets professionals in legal, healthcare, construction, finance, journalism, and law enforcement. It is packaged as a per-user, annually billed workflow plan in Basic, Pro, and Enterprise editions, with speech recognition and AI Assistant add-ons, a human transcription service charged per minute of audio, and a free two-week trial of Enterprise features with a limited number of users and included speech recognition minutes.
