Users are now able to request multiple AI documents. For example, after they received a smart transcript, they can additionally request summary & insights or any other AI document of the same dictation. With any AI generated document, users will always receive the original transcript.
The administration section has been redesigned with a clean, intuitive sidebar that places all menu options within easy reach. This layout makes it easier for administrators and office managers to navigate the administration settings of SpeechLive efficiently and with greater clarity.

The multi-speaker function was moved to the send to speech recognition menu, where users can select the number of speakers before sending it to speech recognition. This harmonizes the user experience on all platforms from mobile to web.
 |
We moved some speech recognition settings, including speech recognition history and on/off controls, to the administration area. This way admin tools are kept in one place for easier and quicker access.
 |
Users can now send their dictations directly from the Mobile App to all SpeechLive AI features, such as smart transcript or summary & insights. This way they can access powerful AI tools while on the go, without needing to switch devices or wait until they're back at their desk.

The Desktop App now includes a built-in auto-start feature. This means the app will automatically launch when the user starts their computer, no need to remember to launch it manually. Users can easily turn this option on or off from the app’s settings. This small improvement helps make daily work smoother, especially for those using the auto-upload feature, by ensuring everything is ready to go as soon as their work day begins.
We recommend to remove any prior auto-start entries before using the built in auto-start feature of the app.
We’ve released a new version of the Philips Device Connector, now supporting our latest hardware release, the SpeechMike Ambient. To ensure full compatibility and the best possible experience with your new device, please update the Philips Device Connector native host application, which you can download here.
Users can now connect SpeechLive to Actionstep, enabling streamlined sharing of dictations and attachments between the two platforms. This greatly improves the day-to-day experience for users of both platforms, who no longer need to manually move data between SpeechLive and Actionstep.
With our latest quarterly release we also improved how the SpeechLive web player handles dictations. Dictations will open faster, and playback will start more quickly, particularly with longer recordings. This saves the user time when checking or starting a job, helping them to stay focused and efficient throughout the day.
We added a built-in editor to SpeechLive, so users can transcribe and edit transcripts directly within the browser. This simplifies the workflow - there’s no need to use separate word processors or upload documents afterwards. This new workflow is especially useful for reviewing and fine-tuning speech recognition results more efficiently.
Following the successful launch of smart transcript, the next step in enhancing the transcription workflow is now available: smart refine. This feature enables users to adjust the tone of their transcripts with a single click, selecting either business or legal. Whether a more polished professional tone is needed or a format tailored for legal work, smart refine adapts the transcript while preserving the original meaning of the dictation. It is designed to support the creation of clearer, more consistent documents with reduced manual editing, saving time and improving overall output quality.
Users can now configure their PocketMemo (DPM) using the SpeechLive Desktop App. This allows users to set up their PocketMemo and change many settings quickly via the app, e.g. author name, keywords, microphone settings and many more. This saves the user a lot of time when configuring the device, which is now for the first time possible within the SpeechLive ecosystem.
We have added new AI features to improve the user's daily work. These include the ability to automatically add punctuation to transcripts, different types of summaries from simple to detailed, and advanced insights.
We have further extended our speech recognition offering by providing users with the ability to integrate with Nuance Dragon Medical One. This enables users to send dictations directly from SpeechLive to Dragon Medical One (DMO), improving their daily workflow. This means that SpeechLive users can now choose from an even wider range of speech recognition contexts, depending on their needs and preferences.
After adding the sidebar for typists, we have now added the same feature for authors. This provides authors with a quick overview of all their pending dictations and which typist or team they are assigned to. This also gives the author a better idea of how many of their dictations are still being processed and the total length of their pending dictations.
This new option allows authors to see the total workload of a team in the sidebar. This means that the author can also see the duration and number of dictations assigned to a team by other authors. With this information, authors can better assess the total workload of a team and how long it will take to process their own dictations.
The mobile app already offered a fast forward/rewind as well as the jump to the beginning/end function. To further improve the user experience, we split these functions into separate buttons. This not only prevents accidental use of the wrong function, but also saves the user time by allowing them to access the desired function with a quick tap of a dedicated button. The new winding speed option allows the user to customize the fast forward/rewind buttons and how many seconds they jump forward/back in the dictation.
Already available for the Web App, we added the option to select the number of speakers when sending a dictation to SpeechLive speech recognition. This allows mobile users to select the number of speakers of their dictation on their mobile phone and receive a transcript with timestamps of the different speakers.
When using real-time speech recognition, users can now add their own personal vocabulary. This feature ensures that any special vocabulary or names are correctly interpreted when using speech recognition.
We have also made a number of small improvements to the user experience to help users in their day-to-day work. These include visual indicators when some of the dictation properties are mandatory fields. We have also added the option to make the due date a mandatory field. Another improvement is a warning message to the user when activating an overwrite recording mode to prevent accidental deletion of previously recorded dictations.
Administrators can now install the SpeechLive Desktop App for multiple users at the same time. This saves them a lot of time when rolling out the Desktop App in their organization, especially for larger groups of users.
When using real-time speech recognition, users can now add their own personal vocabulary. This feature ensures that any special vocabulary or names are correctly interpreted when using speech recognition.
This release contains some preparations for the next upcoming version of the Desktop App. To make future updates easier, this release also changes the name of the Desktop App to Philips SpeechLive (Old version). Version 3.5.16 has the full range of functions of the app and can continue to be used as before.
