AI-assisted transcription for law firms
Philips SpeechLive software, with setup and workflow guidance from DictaMic.
Your author records and sends the work. Your typist uses SpeechAI legal speech recognition to turn the recording into text, then checks and finishes the document. The author gives final approval.
Your recording. A head start for your team.
SpeechAI creates editable text from the recording. Your typist checks and finishes it in your firm’s format.

Build the text from scratch
Listen → pause → type → replay.
Check → correct → finish.
Dear Mr. Harris, regarding the settlement offer we discussed yesterday, our client is willing to accept forty-five thousand dollars provided payment is received within thirty days.
Start with text already there
Convert → check against the audio.
Correct → finish.
Your team keeps control. Check names, amounts and instructions, apply your firm’s format, then obtain attorney approval.
Fictional, manually prepared illustration—not actual product output or guaranteed formatting. Illustrative name correction: Haris → Harris. Both paths require review and approval.
For the same illustrative 3,600 words: typing at 60 words/minute takes 60 minutes; voice entry at 150 words/minute takes 24 minutes. That is a 36-minute difference, or 60% less initial text-entry time in this model.
You already provide the recording. The 24 minutes represents voice entry under the stated assumption, not your team’s checking or finishing time. This excludes correction, formatting and approval; it is not measured customer savings or AI processing time.

Good to know
Philips describes Microsoft Azure hosting and encryption for SpeechLive dictations. Review the security and privacy details for your firm’s requirements.
For your first contact, share general business details only—no client information, recordings, documents or account secrets.
No. In this team setup, SpeechAI provides legal speech recognition: it turns a recording into text for your typist to check. Legal AI Assistant adds drafting organized around a selected template and is a different package.
The example price covers one author and one typist. Tell us your team size so we can confirm licences and recognition usage. Recognition is subject to fair use; this is not an unlimited shared pool for all authors. See usage conditions.
An Administrator or Office Manager connects recording users (Authors) with assistants (Typists), individually or as a team. The configured relationships determine which jobs an assistant can access. Philips assignment guidance.
Text prepared in SpeechLive’s built-in editor can be finished there without attaching a file. When using another word processor, attach a supported document to the job and finish it. Each job holds one transcription attachment; replacing it overwrites the previous file. Philips transcription guidance.
DictaMic checks the exact model, operating system and SpeechLive app before recommending how to record, upload or control playback. A supported foot control can help the assistant manage playback while typing. Equipment compatibility details.
Tell DictaMic which system you use and what you want to transfer. Available integrations depend on the product, plan and configuration. Explore integration requirements.
