Why legal professionals choose SpeechLive

  • Dictation built for legal workflows

    Philips SpeechLive is purpose-built for legal workflows, seamlessly integrating with CMS and documentation systems.

All audio is securely stored, giving assistants the ability to re-listen and proofread for maximum accuracy.

  • Direct dictation into practice or client management systems

    No copy-paste, no manual uploads. Attorneys can dictate, edit, and attach recordings directly to client matters inside their existing systems. This reduces friction, ensures documents are stored in the right place, and supports reliable, easy client-file assignment.

FAQ

Is SpeechLive compliant with legal confidentiality and data-protection requirements?

Absolutely. Data security has always been our highest concern, even in the development phase of the solution. Thousands of customers from all over the world and various industries trust their data to Philips SpeechLive. SpeechLive ensures maximum data security with end-to-end encryption, GDPR compliance, and secure local data hosting, making it fully safe for handling confidential legal dictations.

Where is my data stored? Will it stay in my region?

Data is stored regionally on Microsoft Azure servers (e.g. EU, US, Canada, Australia) and kept within the designated region to meet legal requirements and minimize latency.

Can I integrate SpeechLive into my existing CMS?

Yes, you can integrate SpeechLive seamlessly into your existing case management system (e.g. Actionstep, iManage). Your admin needs to enable the integration and then users can send dictations straight into the right file. In case your case management system doesn’t have a built-in SpeechLive connector, you still have options to use an API-based integration.

Legal professionals can choose whether they wish to dictate with:
- Their smartphone using the Philips SpeechLive App
- Their computer’s microphone or headset 
- Philips SpeechMike Premium Dictation Microphone or a portable Philips Voice Recorder, such as the Philips PocketMemo
- Any compatible handheld dictation device

Can SpeechLive handle complex legal terminology?

Yes. SpeechLive does not have a specific legal vocabulary, but it is extremely accurate thanks to the latest speech-recognition engines powered by Microsoft. Users consistently achieve high accuracy even with legal terminology because the engine adapts well to context and natural speech.

Can it handle multi-speaker recordings like client meetings or hearings?

Yes. Multi-speaker transcription is supported, with speaker identification and timestamps to help produce meeting minutes and notes.
