Use the power of your voice with professional digital dictation
SpeechExec Basic handles the essentials. It downloads recordings from your PocketMemo, sends them to your typist and gives them a transcription player with foot-control support. A worklist shows the status of every job, and an optional SpeechLive connection lets authors dictate from anywhere. It's included with many Philips recorders and transcription sets, and it can be upgraded to Pro as your needs grow.
SpeechExec Basic Dictation and Transcription Software links authors and transcriptionists. It facilitates communication, the setup of individual workflow settings and organizational flexibility to help save time and resources. Transcriptionists can playback and conveniently transcribe recorder files using a foot control.

SpeechExec Basic Dictation & Transcription Software features
Workflow management and automation for enhanced productivity
Easily monitor and manage the workflow between authors and transcriptionists. Recordings and the resulting written documents are automatically routed to the appropriate person for quicker turnaround times.
Worklist for easy work monitoring and tracking
Worklists help both authors and transcriptionists monitor their work statuses. They save time used for unnecessary status update communication. Files can be organized into sub folders, assigned specific properties and comments and marked as urgent to help organize and prioritize tasks.
Optional SpeechLive connection available for even greater mobility
Philips SpeechLive cloud dictation workflow solution gives users constant file access via browser for greater flexibility and mobility. With SpeechLive, authors can dictate with their smartphone from anywhere and send dictations directly to their SpeechExec software. It also features a transcription service, where trained professionals quickly type up recordings for the author.
Flexible licensing to access SpeechExec from anywhere, including at home
Licenses are now assigned to individual users, not to individual PCs, giving you the freedom to work from your desktop at work or from a laptop off-site. This also allows you to easily reactivate a license in case of a hardware failure.
Automated file download for quick and convenient job routing
SpeechExec Basic allows authors to automatically download all their dictations from their voice recorder straight into the software and route to the appropriate destination via their local network, FTP server, SpeechLive or email.
Transcription player with foot control support for hands-free playback control
The software comes with a conveniently integrated transcription player with pause, fast forward and rewind options. Together with the configurable Philips foot control it allows for comfortable and quick transcription. Predefined templates can be used, so documents are automatically created with the appropriate header and footer, saving you even more time.
