New SpeechLive Upload Client
The enhanced upload client automatically feeds audio files from dictation recorders straight into the SpeechLive system. The new feature works on Windows computers with all Philips devices including the Philips Pocket Memo, SpeechAir and Voice Tracers. Even customers using non-Philips audio recording devices can take advantage of this time-saving innovation. Users only need to simply plug in their dictation recorder to their PC and the files will transmit automatically.
Email notification for transcriptionists
Another new feature of SpeechLive 8.5 is that transcriptionists receive automatic email notifications whenever new dictations arrive in their SpeechLive intray. This way transcriptionists can attend to important tasks quicker than before. “We wanted to improve the workflow capabilities for our users, to enable them to get their tasks done even quicker than before” explains Dr Thomas Brauner, CEO of Speech Processing Solutions.
Transcription and speech recognition service
Philips SpeechLive offers two additional productivity-boosting services to their users: Philips Speech Recognition Service and Philips Transcription Service. “The transcription service is perfect for when your assistant or transcriptionist is out of the office or simply too busy. Our highly trained transcriptionist staff will take care of even complex transcriptions for you and deliver them back to you quickly” adds Dr Brauner.
Free trial with free included speech recognition minutes
Philips provides a completely free 30-day trial of SpeechLive, where customers can test the solution themselves. The free trial includes 10 free speech recognition as well as 10 free transcription service minutes, so users can test these two additional services as well.

Forrester: Three Years Into GenAI, Enterprises Are Still Chasing Its True Transformative Value2.4.2026 17:00:00 EEST | Press release
According to Forrester’s (Nasdaq: FORR) latest report, Accelerate Your AI Voyage, most enterprises are struggling to turn growing AI adoption and investment into measurable business impact. One of the key factors holding businesses back is low artificial intelligence quotient (AIQ) — Forrester’s measure of AI aptitude — with many employees lacking a clear understanding of how to use AI. Other barriers include an overemphasis on productivity-focused use cases, difficulty measuring impact, and siloed adoption within individual functions. While these challenges can leave firms frozen in doubt or indecision, the wait-and-see approach to AI adoption is no longer viable. To unlock AI’s full potential, organizations need to focus on four key areas: Define the business outcomes and success metrics for what they want AI to achieve; identify specific use cases for AI deployment aligned to those business outcomes; establish a structured runway to plan, test, and strategically time the deployment

The unified company brings together deep expertise in Technology Expense Management (TEM) and IT Financial Management (ITFM) to help organizations better understand, manage, and reduce total technology spend.
