VIENNA--()--Speech Processing Solutions, the international leader in professional dictation has launched its newest version of Philips SpeechLive. The secure cloud solution allows users to access and manage their dictations conveniently via their web browsers, without having to install any additional software.

Support for multi-speaker transcription

Authors can record their tasks, reports and other documents from wherever they are, and send them directly to their speech recognition software or assistant for transcription. For those who do not have an assistant, Philips offers a professional transcription service, where industry-specific trained professionals type up the audio files. “Going from speech to task has never been quicker” explains Dr. Thomas Brauner, CEO of Speech Processing Solutions. He continues: “You can now even transcribe recordings with several speakers. The transcription service staff will recognize each author, making the final document a lot easier to understand. This is perfect for recording interview and meeting situations.”

New browser-based player for convenient transcription from anywhere

The latest version of SpeechLive allows transcriptionists to attach their foot pedal and transcribe directly via the online player in their browser. This saves them from having to download any additional software and also allows them to transcribe from anywhere: office or home. Authors can therefore be more flexible, as they can assign external temporary typing staff to handle peak times for example, as no transcription software needs to be installed.

SpeechLive receives positive reviews

The number of SpeechLive users is growing across various industry sectors and both authors and transcriptionists agree that the solution increases their company’s productivity. Gordon McAlpine, Founder and CEO of The Sales Club, a UK company which provides motivational training and support for Sales personnel, explains: "Within 24 hours I would receive a word document of my meeting minutes. As you can imagine, this was fantastic for me, saving hours of valuable time in a week."

Nancy Linton, Office Manager at Auld & Associates Investigations, a private investigation firm in the Philadelphia, USA agrees: “There was definitely a productivity improvement in terms of turnaround time between dictation and transcription because I didn’t have to wait until the investigators got back to the office.”

Availability of solution is growing worldwide

The solution is now also available in Australia. Users can sign up to a free 30-day trial of the software, which includes 10 free transcription minutes. The transcription service works in English, German and French. For more details and information regarding availability visit: www.speechlive.com
