Philips SpeechLive - Add SpeechLive's dictation view as a desktop app/icon

The cloud-based Philips SpeechLive system couldn't be easier to use, but that doesn't mean there aren't ways to streamline it further!

Instead of opening your web browser, typing in the URL or clicking a bookmark and then logging in, you can install Philips SpeechLive as a desktop 'app'. This will give you a desktop app and an optional taskbar icon to quickly get to SpeechLive in a single click.

Install SpeechLive as a desktop icon from Google Chrome

  1. Log in to SpeechLive on Google Chrome

  2. In the top right hand corner, click the three vertical dots

  3. Hover over 'Save & Share' (about three quarters of the way down the list)

  4. Click 'Install page as app' (second option)

  5. Click 'Install'

Install SpeechLive as a desktop icon from Microsoft Edge

  1. Log in to SpeechLive in Microsoft Edge

  2. In the top right hand corner, click the three horizontal dots

  3. Hover over 'Apps' (about halfway down the list)

  4. Click 'Install this page as app' (first option)

  5. Click 'Install'

Once you've followed the above, you may also notice a badge in your taskbar that looks like this:

Right click and select 'Pin to Taskbar'

This will keep the icon at the bottom of your screen, like you see with your other PC apps.
