    [Note]Note

    • Make sure you keep the app open while your audio is uploading. If you minimize or force the app to quit during the upload process, duplicate files may be created as a precaution against data loss.

    • 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.

    [Note]Note

    • 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.

[Note]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.

Rewind and Fast forward

Tap rewind-icon.png to rewind or tap forward_icon.psd to fast forward in the recording. The default is 1 second, but you can change this by tapping the winding speed icon winding_speed.svg and set a different value.
