Philips SpeechLive and Actionstep announce partnership to boost law firm productivity

This collaboration is set to streamline legal documentation workflows, significantly enhancing efficiency for midsized law firms.

VIENNA, AUSTRIA — 25th June 2025. Speech Processing Solutions, the global leader in professional AI-based voice productivity and dictation solutions sold under the Philips brand, has announced a powerful new partnership between its renowned Philips SpeechLive dictation solution and Actionstep, a leading law firm management platform. This collaboration is set to streamline legal documentation workflows, significantly enhancing efficiency for mid-sized law firms.

"Innovation is at the core of our mission to empower legal professionals," said Dr. Thomas Brauner, CEO of Speech Processing Solutions. "Our integration with Actionstep is a game-changer for law firms looking to optimise documentation processes and reduce administrative overhead. This gives lawyers more time to focus on what matters: their clients."

Streamlined workflows for legal professionals

By combining Philips SpeechLive’s AI-powered speech-to-text technology with Actionstep’s robust law firm management platform, the integration directly addresses common challenges faced by legal professionals. Lawyers can now dictate and convert speech to text directly within Actionstep, launching Philips SpeechLive with a single click. Dictations are automatically linked to the relevant case files, eliminating manual data entry and errors. The integration ensures bidirectional synchronisation, meaning all dictations, transcriptions, and attachments are updated in real time across both platforms.

Setup is simple and requires just three basic steps, with no programming or IT expertise needed. Lawyers can quickly search and retrieve case-related files, boosting productivity and minimising administrative workload.

Driving efficiency and accuracy in legal documentation

The integration of two leading tools reduces administrative burdens through automation, accelerates document creation with real-time speech recognition, and enhances accuracy. Strict data privacy compliance and secure, structured workflows ensure absolute security in legal documentation.

“Our integration with Philips SpeechLive reflects Actionstep’s commitment to building a connected ecosystem that supports the way modern law firms actually work. By bringing dictation and practice management together, we’re giving lawyers a faster, smarter way to capture and action critical information – whether they’re in the office or on the move,” said Oliver Tromp, Regional VP of Actionstep UK. “It’s all about removing friction, saving time, and empowering legal professionals to focus on high-value work.”

As law firms continue to embrace digital transformation, this new partnership allows lawyers to focus on client interactions, case strategy and core legal work - rather than time-consuming paperwork.
