    • Microphone access is necessary so the SpeechLive Mobile App can record your voice.

    • If you declined the access, you can change this setting manually:

      1. Go to the settings of your device:

        • iOS: Choose SpeechLive in the list.

        • Android: Select the Apps section of the settings and choose SpeechLive in the list.

      2. Allow the app the necessary permissions:

        • iOS: Choose Microphone and activate the switch iOS_icon-activate-switch.png to allow the SpeechLive Mobile App access to your microphone.

        • Android: Select Permissions, choose Microphone and activate the switch iOS_icon-activate-switch.png to allow the SpeechLive Mobile App access to your microphone.

  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]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.

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.

Rewind and Fast forward
