Philips’ SpeechLive Earns FirstNet Verification

Philips SpeechLive, a cloud dictation and transcription application from Speech Processing Solutions (SPS), is now FirstNet Verified and accessible via the FirstNet App Catalog after undergoing a security and effectiveness review to ensure it meets the highest industry standards for public safety professionals.

FirstNet, a unit of AT&T that provides a public safety communications platform, offers an App Catalog geared to first responders, featuring more than 200 apps. Before any mobile solution can be added to the FirstNet App Catalog, it must pass stringent third-party tests for security, relevancy, data privacy, and more.

"We at Speech Processing Solutions are proud to announce that Philips SpeechLive has been designated as a FirstNet Verified app," said Thomas Brauner, CEO of SPS, in a statement. "This recognition reinforces our unwavering commitment as an industry leader to deliver the best dictation solutions that cater to the specific requirements of the public safety agency and first responder industry. Philips SpeechLive empowers these professionals to fulfill their crucial missions with utmost effectiveness, reclaiming precious time and refocusing on their clients' well-being."

"We only add applications to the FirstNet App Catalog that are high quality and relevant to public safety. And we're pleased that Philip SpeechLive is now FirstNet Verified and available to FirstNet subscribers," said Matt Walsh, assistant vice president of product management and development for the FirstNet Program at AT&T, in a statement. "With Philips SpeechLive, first responders and public safety professionals gain enhanced capabilities to swiftly capture spoken notes and seamlessly attach pictures or videos. These vital tools enable the secure transfer of voice recordings, facilitating the generation of precisely written reports that can be effortlessly shared. By streamlining and automating documentation processes, this innovative solution significantly improves efficiency, accuracy, and expediency."

"Through our work with first responders, we heard their need for innovative applications to assist with their lifesaving missions. FirstNet is helping address these needs, and we are pleased to welcome Philips SpeechLive to the FirstNet App Catalog," said Jeff Bratcher, chief network and technology officer of First Responder Network Authority, in a statement.
