For healthcare professionals
Philips SpeechLive helps healthcare providers and clinicians process medical dictations and notes securely. Improve speed, accuracy, and documentation quality in your clinical workflows with SpeechLive’s medical dictation software and AI-powered speech recognition — trusted by professionals and their patients across hospitals, practices, and clinics.
Voice-powered productivity
Medical professionals and clinicians trust Philips SpeechLive make clinical documentation faster, more accurate, and fully secure. It helps clinicians dictate notes, share updates, and manage their dication workflows with ease.
Philips SpeechLive is designed for clinical environments from hospitals to private practices. It fits naturally into existing documentation workflows, supporting doctors, nurses, and clinicians with efficient dictation and better patient care. Choose between 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
SpeechLive streamlines clinical documentation by automating the flow of dictations through recording, transcription, review, and secure storage. This reduces administrative workload, minimizes errors, and helps teams complete documentation faster so they can focus more on patient care.
Direct-to-chart
Clinicians can dictate and attach notes directly within electronic health records (EHRs) or patient management systems. This ensures documentation is stored in the correct chart without manual uploads or copy-and-paste steps — improving accuracy and saving time.
AI-powered speech recognition handles complex vocabularies, multi-speaker cases, and fast-paced clinical communication. Automatic punctuation, noise reduction, and secure cloud storage ensure patient notes and conversations are captured accurately and compliantly.
Multi-speaker transcription captures patient conversations, team discussions, and medical interviews with clarity. Insights such as themes, actions, and key medical information help clinicians prepare efficiently and reduce the risk of missing critical details.
Remote dictation
Dictation is up to seven times faster than typing, helping clinicians rapidly create notes, reports, and documentation using only their voice. Stay productive during patient visits, on the ward, in the office, or from home — wherever care happens.
All-in-one
SpeechLive is supported by a comprehensive ecosystem of professional hardware and software, including Philips SpeechMike Dictation Microphones, foot controls, the mobile app, and browser-based dictation and transcription tools. Everything works together to deliver accurate, reliable, and efficient documentation at every point of care.
All dictations and transcripts are encrypted and processed according to strict GDPR data-protection standards. Sensitive patient information remains secure, ensuring clinicians meet privacy, compliance, and confidentiality requirements with confidence.
Philips SpeechLive gives you everything you need to capture, transcribe, and manage dictations efficiently. Whether you're recording notes on the go or routing dictations to your team, SpeechLive offers smart tools to support your workflow — plus flexible options to expand it even further.
Dictate directly in Chrome or Edge with the Voice Recorder, or on the go with the smartphone app. For maximum precision, use our award-winning Philips SpeechMike.
Automatically route your recordings to assistants, teams, or external services. Customize workflows to fit your legal or medical needs.
Convert your dictations into accurate text with AI-powered speech recognition. Save time by skipping manual transcription altogether.

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.
SpeechLive is built for healthcare-centric dictation workflows: you can dictate notes or patient encounters using your voice, upload recordings or dictate directly, and then route them for transcription or AI-powered speech recognition. The result: faster creation of clinical documentation, fewer typographical errors, and easier integration into your EHR or HIS.
SpeechLive does not require a direct integration. With the SpeechLive Desktop App, you can use your voice to enter text into any text field in any program — including your EHR or HIS. This lets you work inside your existing clinical systems while benefiting from fast, accurate speech recognition and secure workflow management.
You can use any standard microphone to dictate, but for best results in busy clinical settings we recommend the hygienic Philips SpeechMike Dictation Microphones, already widely used in healthcare settings globally. These devices enable clearer audio, meaning fewer errors, faster transcription, and better documentation quality.
Absolutely. All dictations, notes, and transcripts are encrypted in transit and at rest, stored on regional Microsoft Azure servers, and handled in compliance with HIPAA and GDPR standards. You can enable additional protection like multi-factor authentication and backups of dictations to recover if needed.
Yes, the platform’s AI-powered speech recognition is trained for complex vocabulary. Thanks to multi-speaker identification and AI that learns your speech patterns, you can dictate with confidence and know that your documentation will be of a high accuracy and quality.
