Well done Phillips. > > **Cons**: I like everything about it. I do not really think that there is anything NOT to like. > > Excellent - I wish i had switched to this system from the old Phillips one I was using years ago. ----- ### "The only audio/transcribing programme you will need\!" — 5.0/5 > **Heidi** | *22 February 2023* | Law Practice | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **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\! > > 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, ----- ### "Transcription and Daily Instructions for Virtual and Flexible Working" — 5.0/5 > **Julia** | *22 February 2023* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **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. > > 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. ----- ### "easy to use" — 5.0/5 > **Jenifer** | *20 April 2023* | Management Consulting | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: it is simple to use, when training it is simple to teach someone to use > > **Cons**: that the license is not transferable so if an admin leaves and i rename the computer i lose the license > > we use this daily and it is very easy to upload and use ----- ### "Great software, highly recommend." — 5.0/5 > **Faye** | *19 March 2026* | Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **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. > > It enables our company to get survey reports back to the clients the same day. We have had great feedback from our clients. ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/410755/philips-speechlive) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
