You did not go to law school to format documents. Yet the path from a client conversation to a finished document is still the longest part of the day: dictate it, wait for the transcript, read it back, restructure it into the right sections, format it, and only then start practicing law again.

The Philips SpeechLive Legal AI Assistant compresses that path. It does not just transcribe what you said — it identifies the facts, maps them into a legal document template, and hands you a formatted first draft. What you review is a document, not a wall of text.

Voice Automated has sold and supported Philips dictation for 30 years, and legal dictation is where we started. One partner for the microphones, the licences and the AI layer — and a support line where a person answers.

How it works

Three steps. You approve the last one.
1

Dictate or upload

Record the consultation, the client meeting or your case notes — or upload audio you captured earlier. Add supporting material: correspondence, PDFs, exhibits, images.

2

The AI Assistant drafts

It pulls the key facts out of your dictation and your attached sources and structures them into the correct sections of your chosen template — a system template or one you built yourself.

3

Review, refine, approve

Edit by hand or by plain-language instruction, then export to Microsoft Word or PDF — or send it to your typist through the SpeechLive workflow you already run.

Tuned for legal language, not general dictation

The Legal AI Assistant runs on Speech Recognition Legal, a speech engine built specifically for legal work. It recognizes legal terminology, case citations, and the phrasing that general-purpose speech engines routinely mangle — which matters, because a document assembled on top of a flawed transcript is a flawed document.

It also holds up where legal audio is actually captured: multi-speaker hearings, depositions, and rooms that were never designed for recording. Speech Recognition Legal is included with the Legal AI Assistant at no separate cost, and works with uploaded audio and live dictation across web, desktop and mobile.

What you get

AI document generation

Speak once and get a structured legal document mapped to your template, not a raw transcript.

System or custom templates

Start from provided legal templates or build your own in plain language and save them for repeat use.

Natural-language editing

Say “shorten section 3” or “add a clause on liability” instead of reformatting by hand.

Multiple sources per draft

Combine dictation with PDFs, images and existing documents for a fuller, more complete first draft.

Export where you need it

Microsoft Word, PDF, or straight to your typist inside the existing SpeechLive workflow.

Unlimited drafts

No per-document metering. Draft as much as the caseload demands.

Built for attorneys who bill their time

This fits if you:
  • Already use dictation as part of how you work
  • Want to close the gap between the consultation and the finished document
  • Need structured, consistent documents rather than raw transcripts
  • Are looking to take the repetitive documentation work off your plate
  • Would rather spend the hour on billable, client-facing, strategic work
Attorneys, paralegals, legal assistants and in-house counsel all use it the same way — the difference is whose template it drafts into.

Designed to support your judgment, not replace it

Every output is a draft for human review. Nothing is filed, sent or finalized without an attorney approving it. That is deliberate: in legal work, precision is not optional, and a tool that quietly produced final documents would be a liability rather than an asset.

What the AI Assistant removes is the mechanical labor — the structuring, the placement, the formatting — not the professional judgment. You still own every word that goes out under your name.

Philips has built professional legal dictation for over 70 years, and the SpeechLive platform behind this is already used by more than 60,000 legal and business professionals worldwide.

Where your data lives

SpeechLive runs on Microsoft Azure, with your recordings and documents stored in the Azure region designated for your service area. Philips publishes those hosting locations rather than leaving the question open.

Never used to train AI

Your recordings, transcripts and processed data are used to produce your results and nothing else — not to improve Philips’ models, not to train third-party AI systems. AI-processed data is cleared automatically after processing.

99.9% uptime guarantee

Backed by Azure’s cloud infrastructure, with secure backup options included.

30-day recovery window

Account administrators can restore accidentally deleted dictations for up to 30 days.

Encryption and role-based access

Recordings are encrypted and access is controlled by role at every stage of the workflow.

Certification note: SpeechLive is deployed on Microsoft Azure services that maintain their own compliance certifications. Product-level certification is not claimed — the platform is the correct scope. If your firm has a specific client-confidentiality or data-residency requirement, ask us and we will get you the current documentation rather than guess.

See it on your own matters

Bring a real dictation and a document your firm produces constantly. We will build the template and generate the draft in front of you — not run a canned demo on somebody else’s paperwork.

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from legal dictation software I already use?

Dictation software gives you accurate text. The Legal AI Assistant gives you a structured document. It takes the same dictation, identifies the key facts, and maps them into the sections of a legal template — so what you review is a formatted first draft rather than a transcript you still have to shape.

Does it understand legal terminology and citations?

Yes. It runs on Speech Recognition Legal, a speech engine tuned specifically for legal work, which recognizes legal terminology, case citations and phrasing that general-purpose engines commonly mis-transcribe. It also performs reliably in multi-speaker hearings and noisy environments.

Can I use my firm’s own document templates?

Yes. You can start from the provided system templates or describe the template you need in plain language, then adjust it by text or voice and save it for repeated use. Documents come out in your firm’s structure, not a vendor’s.

Is anything filed or sent without me seeing it?

No. Every document is generated as a draft for your review. You edit and approve it yourself, or route it to your typist through the existing SpeechLive workflow. Nothing is finalized without a person approving it.

Is client data used to train AI models?

No. Philips states that your personal data is never used to train the SpeechLive Legal AI Assistant, third-party models, or other AI systems. Recordings, transcripts and processed data are used exclusively to generate your results, and AI-processed data is cleared automatically after processing.

What formats can I export to?

Microsoft Word or PDF, or you can send the draft directly to your typist inside the SpeechLive workflow for further review and formatting.

What does it cost?

$54.00 per user per month as an all-in bundle, excluding tax and billed annually, under special introductory pricing for 2026. That includes the Legal AI Assistant, Speech Recognition Legal and the SpeechLive Enterprise workflow. If you already hold SpeechLive licences through us, contact us before ordering so we can work out what that means for your price.
