How SpeechLive works
From speech to document — how SpeechLive works
SpeechLive supports real-world document creation across legal, healthcare and professional environments. Audio is captured, securely routed, processed into text, and reviewed before being finalised for the client, patient or record.
It replaces traditional dictation software, email-based transcription and disconnected workflows with a single secure platform supported across Australia and New Zealand by VoiceX.
Capture
Capture dictations, meetings or consultations using the SpeechLive Mobile App, browser recorder, digital dictation recorders or professional dictation microphones.
Route
Send audio securely to your typist, transcription team, speech recognition or the SpeechLive Transcription Service — without relying on email or manual file handling.
Process
Move audio into text through speech recognition, your transcription team or an optional professional transcription service.
Review
Review documents alongside the original audio using a Human-in-the-Loop process, ensuring accuracy before finalising the document.
Everything stays within one secure environment — from capture through to final document delivery.
Security & compliance
Secure document creation for organisations across Australia and New Zealand
SpeechLive is designed for organisations handling sensitive information across Australia and New Zealand, including legal, healthcare and government environments.
Philips SpeechLive is designed for organisations that require secure handling of dictation, transcription and sensitive documentation. The platform is hosted on Microsoft Azure infrastructure and supports controlled access, encrypted data handling and secure workflow management.
VoiceX supports SpeechLive deployments across Australia and New Zealand, helping organisations meet internal IT policies, privacy requirements and professional standards.
- Secure cloud hosting: Locally hosted on Microsoft Azure infrastructure in Australia
- Encrypted data: Audio and documents are protected in transit and at rest
- User access control: Role-based permissions for authors, typists and administrators
- MFA & Single Sign-On (SSO): Plus additional Auto-Sync with Microsoft Entra for Enterprise environments
- Audit and tracking: Activity visibility and job tracking within the platform
- Data separation: Customer data is not used for AI model training
Unlike email-based dictation and transcription workflows, SpeechLive keeps audio and documents within a controlled environment, reducing the risk of data exposure and improving accountability across teams.

SpeechLive - your document creation workflow foundation
Built for authors, typists and administrators
Philips SpeechLive is more than a dictation tool.

Accessible from any computer, in any location. Securely hosted on Microsoft Azure in Australia.
SpeechLive is designed to support the complete document creation process — from the person capturing the dictation through to the team reviewing and finalising the document

Typists & Admin
Typists and admin work from secure worklists, manage playback, transcribe documents, correct speech-recognised text and review AI-generated transcripts against the original audio.
