[SpeechLive](https://help.speakit.co.uk/philips?hsLang=en-gb#speechlive) # Excluding SpeechLive from web browser power saving If your network connection to Philips SpeechLive is timing out while you navigate other apps and programmes, or if you step away from your desk, this can cause issues with saving, sending and syncing dictations.  Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge both have power saving settings that can cause tabs to go to sleep or break the connection, and we'd recommend excluding SpeechLive from these settings, or switching them off where possible. ##### Google Chrome 1.
