How to start your transcriptions

Transcriptionists accounts linked to an author account automatically receive all finished dictations. The Use SpeechLive via web browser or the Administrator sections cover the steps on how to activate and link SpeechLive accounts.

As SpeechLive Pro or Enterprise user, you get a pop-up and a sound notification directly in SpeechLive whenever a dictation has been finished or uploaded by an author assigned to you. Additionally, every new dictation is highlighted in blue:

The number of new dictations is shown in the notification icon  sl-notification_bell.png on the toolbar.

After you received a new dictation for transcription, you can playback the dictation directly in the web browser. You can also use SpeecExec to transcribe dictations, see Use SpeechLive with SpeechExec section for more details.
