Step 1: Make sure speech recognition is activated

Before you can use speech recognition, it needs to be enabled on your SpeechLive account. Here’s how it works:

  • For administrators or office managers
  1. Log in to the SpeechLive web portal.
  2. Go to Settings > Speech recognition.
  3. Enable the feature and assign it to the users who should have access.
  4. Once assigned, each user automatically receives 200 free minutes in their account.

  • For users

If you are not an admin, you don’t need to do anything except ask your administrator to activate it. Once they’ve assigned it to you, your 200 trial minutes appear automatically and are ready to use.

Once your trial is active, you will see the option to send a dictation for speech recognition. This will be in your workflow, next to manual transcription.

Step 2: Record or upload your dictation

Use SpeechLive to dictate as you normally would, in the way that best fits your workflow:

  • Record directly in the web recorder
  • Upload an audio file from your device
  • Or use the mobile app or desktop app to dictate

Step 3: Choose “speech recognition” as the workflow

When you finish your dictation or upload, select speech recognition instead of manual transcription. The speech recognition software will automatically convert your file into text in real time. SpeechLive will deduct the minutes of the dictation from your free trial balance.

Step 4: Keep an eye on your minutes

Every account comes with 200 free speech recognition minutes. This gives you plenty of time to test the feature in your daily work and see the productivity boost it brings. Once your trial ends, you can choose to upgrade to a paid package to keep using it.
