Frequently asked questions

We changed the way you can use hardware with SpeechLive with the new Web App. If you used Philips Device Connector (PDC) before, then nothing changed for you. Just plug in your foot control and you can use the pedals to control the web player.

The process to install Philips Device Connector is covered within the new Web App and guides you through all the necessary steps:

If you can’t install Philips Device Connector, than you can also perform a few manual clicks to add your foot control:

All dictations in legacy SpeechLive, no matter if they are archived or in the private folder, are of course also available for you in the new Web App.

You can customize the order as well as the displayed columns in the dictation list:

  1. On the dictation list screen, click on the settings-toolbar.png Settings icon in the upper left corner.

  2. You can now manually drag and drop the columns as you need them:
