Send to speech to text in SpeechExec Enterprise
If you're signed in via SpeechExec Enterprise, you can now send dictations to speech to text (requires SpeechKit). This enables SpeechExec Enterprise users to utilize the advantages of speech to text via the app.

Web App
Microsoft Azure Active Directory Single Sign-On
We added support for Microsoft Azure Active Directory Single Sign-On. After configured by the IT administrator of an organization, users can log in to SpeechLive using their Microsoft account credentials. This way, users no longer need to remember separate login credentials, they can just use their company login information. This improves the account security (since users usually require stronger passwords for their organisation) and simplifies the work for administrator, since they no longer need to manage separate passwords.
