Utilise the power of your voice with SpeechLive

Philips is no stranger when it comes to digital dictation. With an assortment of voice technology solutions, the company has helped professionals and businesses from diverse range of industries. They have evolved with time as the method of dictating progressed from analogue to digital. When cloud computing started to emerge, Philips joined the bandwagon and added SpeechLive to their portfolio. Offering full flexibility, it is ideal for busy professionals who are dictation-savvy and are always on the move. The cloud-based dictation workflow solution has mobilised users to effectively manage their time and productivity by working from anywhere, anytime. 

History of Philips SpeechLive

In 2013, cloud computing started to gain momentum in becoming the default computing platform, with few groundbreaking technologies accelerating the trend. Industry professionals started to realise the benefits of speech-to-text solution as speaking is undoubtedly faster than writing. The Philips dictation recorder app was introduced, which transformed every smartphone into a professional dictation device. It allowed users to record, edit and send dictation files directly from their own smartphones. Industries professionals that dealt with a lot of admin work, primarily legal and medical, immediately saw the advantage the app provided it terms of saving time doing paperwork to focus more on prioritised tasks and reducing document turnaround time. Almost a year later in 2014, instead of keeping the app one dimensional as a professional recording and editing solution, Philips SpeechLive took it a step further in creating a cloud-based workflow solution. It did not require any installation process or configuration of complicated software or any additional devices. It was as easy as speak, send and done. During the launch of SpeechLive Thomas Brauner, CEO of Speech Processing Solutions said, “Speaking is about seven times faster than typing. So, dictating documents saves significant amounts of time, especially for people who deal with large amounts of documentation every day.”

Your data is safe

We understand that security is extremely important to you and your clients. It is the same for us as well. We take this issue very seriously and have set up the highest security standards to protect your data. SpeechLive secures your dictations by encrypting them during recording, again when they are sent, and once again by storing them in an encrypted format in the cloud server. This means end-to-end double encryption and protection from unauthorized access.

Mobile and remote working made easy

In recent times with the ever-changing working structure, as remote working or hybrid working is gaining popularity, effective workflow tools optimised for mobility have become vital for businesses.
