It enables our company to get survey reports back to the clients the same day. We have had great feedback from our clients.

Pros

Easy to use and very handy for our business. SpeechLive is good for our surveyor to use, enabling him to send us dictation and complete our work before he returns to the office.

Cons

No problems with the software. Very good and highly recommend. The only minor problem we do experience is if the surveyor has bad signal but this is a network fault not SpeechLive.

Excellent - I wish i had switched to this system from the old Phillips one I was using years ago.

Pros

I have been using dictation equipment for decades and this is by far the best system I have used. the Software is easy and intuitive to install with a few steps, and when done it is very easy to use, with clear playback, easy to use controls and a handy storage system. Well done Phillips.

Cons

I like everything about it. I do not really think that there is anything NOT to like.

Enables my manager to dictate documents and tasks from his phone in his own time for me to pick up whenever I start work. It therefore works brilliantly with our flexible working patterns.

Pros

My manager and I started our working relationship using traditional cassette tape dictation and transcription machines. We started using SpeechExec Pro to go digital which changed our lives and then we transitioned to SpeechLive which has streamlined and improved our efficiency immeasurably. In a nutshell, as in all things, its the technology compared to what pre-dated that!

Cons

Nothing springs to mind for me but my manager sometimes has issues dipping in and out of the dictation app on his phone.

I can't imagine my job without it now - no tapes to go missing or rubbish recordings, quick notifications that I have work in my intray,

Pros

This software is intuitive, handles even the longest dictations, suffers no deterioration in quality (compared to the old days of tapes!), keeps dictations in archive just in case - and facilitates away from the office working ... It meant I was able to work through the whole of the pandemic, and has enabled me to do a blend of home & office working now. I can't praise it highly enough

Cons

I really can't thing of anything negative to say - I does everything I need!
