Create a new dictation

    Note

    We recommend that you only record dictations up to one hour in length. For longer recordings, consider creating separate dictation files.

  4. Please allow the app access to the microphone of your device to continue.

  5. During the recording, you can pause by taping the Pause speechlive_app_icon-pause.png button.

  6. After you're finished:

    • Tap save_icon.png to save and close your dictation.

      X Your dictation is saved and automatically synchronized with SpeechLive.

      Note

      If you're signed in via SpeechExec Enterprise, drafts are only saved locally in the app and are not synchronized to the server.

    • Tap send_to_button.png and choose Typist to send the dictation directly to a typist. The Send dictations to a typist section covers this in more details.

Note

Some Samsung devices record / play back distorted audio. In this case we advise to turn off Bluetooth until a bugfix has been released by Samsung.
