Philips SpeechLive is not just an ideal Dictation and Transcription solution. The optional add on Speech Recognition functionality continues to improve, offering both Real Time Speech to Text and Background Speech to Text.
Real Time Speech to Text

I dictated a favourite children’s poem and sent the dictation to SpeechLive AI – Summary and Insights - Advanced Insights. Here is the result:
Meeting Summary:
It appears the transcript is a recitation or discussion of a whimsical poem about walking in the streets of London, taking care to avoid stepping on the lines between the squares on the pavement, and imagining bears waiting to eat anyone who does. The speaker describes the imaginary caution and rules they follow while walking and the playful attitude towards the imaginary bears.
Meeting Notes:
- The speaker talks about being careful when walking on London streets, staying within the squares of the pavement.
- They introduce a playful element, imagining that bears are waiting to eat those who step on the lines.
- The speaker describes how some bears pretend not to care about the rules and attempt to trick the walker.
- The narrative stresses the importance of how one walks and the enjoyment found in following these imagined rules.
Possible Tasks:
- No action items or tasks were identified, as this was a creative or narrative contribution.
Speaker Identification:
- Speaker not clearly identified; only one voice appears.
Note: The context is a poetic or imaginative recitation rather than a typical meeting discussion, so standard meeting outcomes like tasks or responsibilities do not apply.
Pretty cool! I am sure you will know the poem!
