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 tasks, track job status, and use human transcription services. Its AI Assistants turn audio and supporting files such as PDFs and images into draft documents using templates and natural-language editing. The service is available on web, Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and through an API. Listed technology partners include Actionstep, Clio, iManage, Microsoft Azure, Microsoft AI, NetDocuments, and Nuance. Dictations are encrypted with AES 256-bit encryption; the service offers email-based MFA and Microsoft credential single sign-on. SpeechLive 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, with administrator recovery of accidentally deleted dictations for up to 30 days. There is no free plan. Basic costs $12.90 a month, billed annually, excluding tax, and a 14-day trial is available without a credit card.
