For legal professionals
Philips SpeechLive delivers secure, AI-powered dictation and speech recognition built for legal professionals managing high volumes of documentation. Streamline workflows, improve accuracy, and accelerate the creation of briefs, case notes, and other legal documents with greater efficiency than ever before.
Voice-powered productivity
Legal professionals trust Philips SpeechLive to create legal documentation faster, more accurate, and fully secure. It helps legal professionals create notes, reports and manage their dication workflows with ease.
Philips SpeechLive is purpose-built for legal workflows, seamlessly integrating with CMS and documentation systems. Lawyers can choose traditional dictation routed to assistants or accelerate turnaround with highly accurate speech recognition. All audio is securely stored, giving assistants the ability to re-listen and proofread for maximum accuracy.
Automated workflows
Dictations can automatically move through the entire documentation process: from recording and transcription to saving files in the correct client matter and notifying the right team members. This streamlined workflow reduces administrative effort, minimizes errors, and keeps cases progressing efficiently.
Direct-to-matter
No copy-paste, no manual uploads. Attorneys can dictate, edit, and attach recordings directly to client matters inside their existing systems. This reduces friction, ensures documents are stored in the right place, and supports reliable, easy client-file assignment.
SpeechLive transforms spoken input into clean, professional text. Attorneys no longer waste time editing and can file or share documents immediately, allowing them to bill more hours by eliminating administrative delays.
SpeechLive not only delivers accurate multi-speaker transcription for meetings, interviews, and client conversations, but also provides valuable insights by identifying themes, deadlines, and action items. This combination helps legal teams capture every detail, improve collaboration, and prepare cases with greater clarity and confidence.
Remote dictation
Stay productive from anywhere: in the office, at home, or on the go. SpeechLive keeps attorneys flexible and mobile while maintaining full integration with their primary workflows. All recordings and transcripts are handled securely across devices so legal professionals can work confidently wherever duty takes them.
All-in-one
SpeechLive is supported by an integrated ecosystem of professional hardware and software designed for legal workflows. From secure mobile apps to industry-leading microphones and transcription tools, every component works together to deliver accuracy, reliability, and efficiency throughout the documentation process.
SpeechLive connects effortlessly with leading platforms like Actionstep and iManage. Through deep API integrations, dictations and transcripts can be automatically linked to matters and documents, streamlining workflows and fitting smoothly into the tools legal teams use every day.

Secure
With SpeechLive, your data security is prioritized with robust encryption and backup solutions. We don’t just meet compliance standards — we build security into every part of the platform. From encrypted recordings to role-based access controls, SpeechLive ensures your data is protected at every stage of the workflow.
We have chosen Microsoft Azure as our hosting partner for dictations. As the world’s leading enterprise level provider of a platform for cloud-hosted solutions, Microsoft Azure maintains strict security standards and processes to ensure the highest level of data privacy and security.
Your data is securely stored on Microsoft Azure servers within your geographic area and never transferred outside your designated storage location. This ensures compliance with local regulations and enables fast, reliable access.
Microsoft Azure services are highly reliable. Microsoft prides itself in promising a 99.9% uptime guarantee — 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and 365 days a year.
Users can create backups of all dictations, to recover them at a later point if necessary. Accidentally deleted dictations can be restored by the account administrator up to 30 days.

Designed for professionals
SpeechLive works with any microphone-enabled device — laptop, desktop, smartphone, or even Apple Watch — so you can dictate wherever you are. Prefer a handheld voice recorder? No problem: simply upload your recordings to SpeechLive for fast, reliable processing.
For the best speech recognition results, we recommend the Philips SpeechMike Dictation Microphone. Its advanced noise-cancelling and ergonomic one-thumb design help deliver clear recordings and consistently high recognition quality. It’s also the world’s #1 device for professional dictation.
For transcription workflows, pair SpeechLive with the Philips Foot Control to manage playback hands-free. Play, pause, rewind, and fast-forward with your feet, so you can keep typing without breaking your flow.
Absolutely. Data security has always been our highest concern, even in the development phase of the solution. Thousands of customers from all over the world and various industries trust their data to Philips SpeechLive. SpeechLive ensures maximum data security with end-to-end encryption, GDPR compliance, and secure local data hosting, making it fully safe for handling confidential legal dictations.

Data is stored regionally on Microsoft Azure servers (e.g. EU, US, Canada, Australia) and kept within the designated region to meet legal requirements and minimize latency.
Yes, you can integrate SpeechLive seamlessly into your existing case management system (e.g. Actionstep, iManage). Your admin needs to enable the integration and then users can send dictations straight into the right file. In case your case management system doesn’t have a built-in SpeechLive connector, you still have options to use an API-based integration.

- Their smartphone using the Philips SpeechLive App
- Their computer’s microphone or headset
- Philips SpeechMike Premium Dictation Microphone or a portable Philips Voice Recorder, such as the Philips PocketMemo
