Press Release Summary: WinScribe the digital dictation and workflow specialists
today announces its technology partnership with One Digital Limited. By combining
the professional capabilities of One Digital Limited's recording solution with the
WinScribe application, the Police and Criminal Justice Departments will be able to
experience notable workflow productivity gains and efficiencies in interview
recording, transcribing and archiving.

Press Release Body: The new digital audio recording solution from One Digital
Limited has been designed for the Police and Criminal Justice departments so that
they can capture, archive and manage digital recordings of audio interviews. Now
with WinScribe as a workflow partner, the whole interviewing process can be
completely streamlined. Interviews can be recorded digitally then simultaneously
archived and automatically logged onto the WinScribe system for transcription as
required.

Once in the WinScribe system details of all interview recordings can be viewed by
authorised personnel and made instantly available for transcriptionists to
transcribe through their PC from inside or outside of the Force Network. Urgent
cases can be prioritised, special interviews can be routed to the most appropriate
transcriptionist and if one station is struggling to keep up with the workload,
available transcriptionists can be easily utilised elsewhere. Transcribers can be
notified that work is waiting for them, can access the WinScribe system to view jobs
that have been allocated to them and transcribe them using a foot control and
headset connected to their PC. The flexibility derived from the ability to share
workload also means avoiding any downtime through staff absence.

This sees a huge technological leap from the analogue tapes of old; which have
limited capacity, poor sound quality in comparison with digital recording and
significant storage problems as well as workflow management issues. The new system
will also see the demise of lengthy delays in retrieving old archived interviews as
this can now be retrieved at the press of a button.

John Beckett, managing director at One Digital Limited said, "We hope this
partnership will be a real turning point for the way the police log interviews. It's
guaranteed to improve the quality of recordings and efficiencies in archiving
interviews - making it much easier for transcriptions to be prioritised and
re-visited at any point. New digital recording technologies enables substantial cost
savings - both direct and indirect - to be made, reducing the pressure on critical
police budget."

Philip Vian, managing director at WinScribe Europe explains, "With the advanced
capabilities of the two systems, the large volume of interviews can be easily
managed and transcribed by available transcriptionists at multiple station sites,
utilising resources and improving workflow. We believe that this innovation will
have a significant positive impact on increasing efficiency by reducing
admin-intensive tasks. Building on the many uses that Police Forces already put
WinScribe to, including the transcription of crime and intelligence reports means
that our recording and workflow software can now be utilised to provide a truly
comprehensive support service for most police activities."

The recorders in the One Digital range have been designed as a direct replacement
for legacy analogue audio recorders and they meet all audio interview recording
requirements under UK PACE and Home Office Guidelines. The network-ready capability
allows easy integration into the WinScribe system for real-time uploading of
recordings.
