Create new dictations via URL deep link

Users can create new dictations or speech recognition sessions by simply entering a specific URL deep link. They can also add additional parameters to the URL to pre-populate specific dictation properties, such as work type, dictation priority and more.

	Note
	The user must be logged in to SpeechLive to use the URLs. This feature is only available for authors. We recommend that you bookmark the URLs you use most so that you can quickly create new dictations with the parameters you need.

Examples

You want to create a new dictation with a high dictation priority, the work type “Letter”, the department field should say “Finance” and you want to add the comment “Important letter to customer”. For this case you can use the following URL:

app.speechlive.com/dictations?action=newDictation&dictationType=dictation&priority=8&worktype=Letter&department=Finance&comment=Important letter to customer

Open existing dictations via URL

You can also open existing dictations via URL directly, however you need to know the title of the dictation:

app.speechlive.com/dictations?search=DICTATIONTITLE

Replace DICTATIONTITLE with the title or the filename of the dictation you want to open. So if you add e.g. "Dictation 1" you will open the dictation with the title "Dictation 1".

	Note
	You must enter the title of the dictation exactly, including spaces.
