AVTranz has been awarded a state-wide transcription services contract.
September 29, 2011, Phoenix, AZ – AVTranz today announced that it has received and signed an appointment and interim agreement with Vermont Judiciary to provide transcription services for the entire state court system.
The Judiciary expects to negotiate final terms and sign a contract in the coming weeks. ”AVTranz is currently providing transcription service to the New Hampshire Judicial Branch and this award will extend our presence in the greater New England area,” said Steve Townsend, AVTranz’ CEO.
Much like the New Hampshire Judicial Branch, the Vermont Judiciary is an example of a court system leveraging technology to solve problems and provide great customer service. The Judiciary uses a combination of tape and digital audio
recording to capture the record and should be fully digital in the future. According to Erik Lige, AVTranz’ VP of Sales & Marketing, “AVTranz is looking forward to rolling out our online rich media management system, The Court Record Online, to facilitate the entire transcription ordering and production process through a secure, hosted website for the Vermont Judiciary early next year.”
AVTranz has experienced significant growth over the past 3 years and is now producing over 45,000 pages of certified transcript each month. Lige stated, “This award and our growth is a great example of the progression from stenographic reporting to high quality digital audio/video recording and transcription happening in court systems across the country.
That opportunity was recently discussed by the AAERT Planning Task Force in the video they released earlier this week - AAERT
State of the Industry 2011.”

July 6, 2011, Phoenix, AZ – AVTranz today announced that it has been awarded a contract, projected to last five years, with the New Hampshire Judicial Branch (NHJB) to provide transcription services for the entire state court system.
The contract calls for AVTranz to release a new version of its online rich media management system, The Court Record Online, to facilitate the entire transcription ordering and production process through a secure, hosted website. Transcript ordering, uploading of digital recordings, assignment and preparation of the transcript as well as final delivery of transcript and payment will occur through The Court Record Online v2 (TCRO2).
“AVTranz is well positioned for this contract,” said Steve Townsend, AVTranz’ CEO. “We have been developing a new version of The Court Record Online for a contract of this size and scope for the past year.” TCRO2 is due to be released early this fall and a final version meeting New Hampshire’s specifications will be released early in 2012. “This project is another example of how digital reporting and transcription is maturing in the US court market,” added Townsend.
According to Erik Lige, AVTranz’ VP of Sales & Marketing “The NHJB is asking AVTranz to help them leverage their investment in digital audio recording to provide the highest level of customer service to the Court’s internal and external customers and create efficiencies and cost savings system-wide; savings that were unachievable with the previous methods.”
AVTranz has partnered with McMurry’s Web division for the development of TCRO2. McMurry, based in Phoenix, AZ, has extensive experience in web design, online services and web-based rich media asset management solutions. “This project has been a terrific opportunity for our designers and developers,” said Chris McMurry, President and CEO of McMurry. “Managing large quantities of audio and video online, in an elegant workflow process, can be really challenging. It has been great working with AVTranz, the industry leader in digital reporting, to design a perfectly suited solution for this rapidly growing market.”
Don Goodnow, Director of the New Hampshire Judicial Branch noted that AVTranz was selected through a competitive bid process. “We are impressed with AVTranz as a company and its management. We look forward to working with them as they launch TCRO2 and going forward as they provide transcription services for the court and the citizens of New Hampshire.”
