There's been a few news releases lately... ====================== BCB Voice Systems Inc - BCB to install digital recording system in Nunavut BCB Voice Systems Inc BIV Shares issued 7,330,969 2000-03-09 close $2.65 Thursday Mar 9 2000 Mr. Peter Vanderlee reports BCB Voice Systems has received a purchase order from the newly designated Canadian territory of Nunavut, for courtrooms in its capital city of Iqaluit. This installation, scheduled for shipment in this quarter, replaces its current analog recording system and will be installed in two fixed courtrooms as well as nine mobile courtrooms. The BCB system is comprising both BCB's proprietary CourtFLOW software as well as the necessary audio hardware. Given Nunavut's location, it will be the northernmost courtroom jurisdiction in the world to showcase digital recording technology, and is an example of the growing market awareness of BCB's digital voice recording and management systems. An official spokesperson for the Nunavut Court of justice states: "BCB's system goes a long way toward eliminating the problems that are so pervasive in court recording, namely that caseloads are high and one case may take the course of several days or even weeks. Using analog tape-based systems, a transcriptionist may have to search though multiple tapes to transcribe even one case, with the risk of missing tapes or losing information. BCB's digital recording technology allows for files to be stored as voice documents that can easily be retrieved and played back. Alternatively, a transcriptionist can easily assemble a transcript by using BCB's annotation and search technology to accelerate the process." Using BCB's digital recording system, court monitors can add notes to a record from their computers, using programmed keys, and identify individual judges, lawyers, defendants and witnesses. Automated time stamping is entered with each annotation. The fixed system moves the audio record over a data network, and onto a voice server, allowing multiple users simultaneous access as well as tools for archiving the record. For long-term management of the audio within the mobile systems, utility software is provided to export the audio record, including annotations, into a fixed location voice server. The use of a database within the BCB solution provides for an easier search for audio by time, annotation or speaker, so portions of the recording can be played back when requested.
