How does LIVIS work?

LIVIS turns real conversations into clear, evidence-based feedback. Here’s the step-by-step.

Step 1: Choose your feedback product

Select the LIVIS feedback product that best fits what you want to understand — from a single interaction to ongoing feedback over time.

Find out which product best suits your needs by clicking on the below:

Step 2: Complete a short online form

Click on the product link you have chosen:

You’ll be asked for a bit of context so we can focus the analysis on what matters most to you.

Step 3: Make payment

Once the form is complete, you’ll receive a secure link to make payment. Payment is required before access is granted.

Step 4: Receive your licence

After payment, we issue your licence. This gives you access to the LIVIS platform.

Step 5: Set up secure access

You’ll create your own password and complete verification. Only you can access your account and uploads.

Step 6: Upload your transcript(s)

Upload your transcript securely via the platform. You stay in control of what you share.

Step 7: Analysis begins

The Analyst processes the transcript, identifying key language and behavioural patterns against LIVIS Best Practise Benchmarks or frameworks of your choice (product dependent).

Step 8: Technology + expert insight

You’ll receive:

  • A written feedback report generated by The Analyst

  • A personalised email from a LIVIS expert interpreting the analysis, highlighting key insights, asking the right questions, and translating the data into practical meaning

This is human expertise, powered by technology — not automated output left unexplained.

What makes a great transcript?

You don’t need perfection. You just need a clear record of a real conversation.

Ideal transcripts include:

  • Clear speaker names or roles

  • Natural, everyday language (how people actually speak)

  • Minimal editing or rewriting

  • Timestamps where possible (helpful, but not essential)

What works best

Meetings, interviews, one-to-ones, decision discussions, coaching conversations — anything where real interaction happens.

Data security

All transcripts are handled securely using enterprise-grade infrastructure. Your data is processed only for your analysis, remains confidential, and is never shared.

Most people already have access to transcripts — they just haven’t needed to find them before. Below are simple, step-by-step instructions for the most common tools.

Face-to-face meetings

If you’re meeting in person, keep it simple:

  • Use your phone’s voice recorder

  • Ask a note-taker to capture the conversation

  • Upload the recording to a trusted transcription tool

Clarity matters more than equipment. Use what’s easiest.

A note on consent

If you’re capturing a conversation involving others, consent matters.

  • For team or group meetings, a clear verbal consent at the start of the meeting is usually sufficient

  • In all cases, everyone involved must give explicit consent before their data can be analysed

  • We provide a simple consent form as part of the automated process to confirm this

This ensures everyone understands what’s being captured, why it’s being analysed, and how the data will be used.

If you can capture a conversation, you can use LIVIS. The platform is designed to fit into how you already work — not add complexity.
