Title: CourtFLOW


1
CourtFLOW
A V Innovations Inc.
  • The Continuing Evolution of
  • Court Reporting

2
Long and Shorthand
  • Before the advent of the stenographic machine all
    court records were kept by hand writing the
    proceedings
  • This was done in both longhand
    and shorthand
  • The exercise was very time
    consuming and accuracy was
    dependant on the skill and veracity of the court
    reporter (notes and shorthand not easily read by
    others)

3
Steno and CAT Systems
  • The advent of the mechanical stenography machine
    and electronic CAT machine increased the
    efficiency of the in court process
  • The record still contained irregularities and had
    to be processed, usually by the recording
    stenographer, to get a transcript
  • This method of court reporting has existed in its
    current form since 1877 and was initially
    referred to as machine shorthand

4
Electronic Reporting
  • Cassette tapes solved some of the accuracy
    problems inherent in the other forms of
    court reporting
  • This technology introduced an additional layer
    of material to store and track
  • Tapes were prone to stretching and deterioration,
    sometimes becoming inaudible
  • Locating an audio record could be near impossible
    after a length of time
    and is costly for the court

5
Optical Media CDs DVDs
  • The next step in the evolution was the ability to
    store the audio on an optical media
  • This solved the degrading of audio quality
    over time issues and was somewhat more compact to
    store
  • You still had the problem of material storage and
    tracking, and occasional write-to-media failure
    (which meant permanent loss of audio)
  • Did not solve the problem of locating an audio
    record after a length of time (no automated
    linking of records)

6
Limits of Recording Technology
  • Still requires physical handling and storage of
    media
  • Difficult and expensive to store and track
  • Labor intensive (also requires skilled personnel
    that may be in short supply)
  • Cannot integrate with other systems or
    information to create an automated data linking
    and retrieval resource

7
Now CourtFLOW - A Database Driven System That
Puts You on the Right Track
  • Captures, digitizes and annotates audio
  • Stores all audio and case information to a local
    or remote hard drive
  • Relational database tracks and manages all stored
    information (archived and online)
  • Enables all information related to
    any court record to be automatically
    linked, stored and retrieved online

8
CourtFLOW The Key to Integrated Justice Systems
  • CourtFLOW is software designed with integration
    in mind
  • Allows docket information(defendant, plaintiff,
    witness, court personnel, judge, attorney, case
    numbers etc.) to be imported
  • Allows information related to the case (such as
    video annotations, images, documents and scanned
    data etc.) to be digitally stored and linked to
    the audio

9
Making a Case for Digital Justice
  • The trial is recorded and annotated
  • During trial evidence is introduced, digitally
    captured and automatically logged
  • Scanned documents
  • Annotated video
  • Digitized photos
  • After trial a transcript is produced and all data
    elements are linked and tracked by the database
  • Result is that all information related to the
    case is instantly available online

Growing Global Momentum
  • Currently installed in more than 2,000 locations
  • Includes jurisdictions across Canada, United
    States, South Africa, Australia and England
  • In several counties within the United States,
    CourtFLOW is creating a common platform tying
    together the Board of Supervisors, Superior
    Courts, Justice Courts, Juvenile Courts and other
    county departments and agencies

12
Florida Court Proves Benefits
  • The 13th judicial circuit in Tampa, Florida has
    become a leader in implementing court-related
    technology into the actual judicial process
  • VoiceIQ has been part of this process for more
    than five years, with CourtFLOW software now
    installed in more than 25 courtrooms

13
Florida Court Experience Shows Promise of
Outsourcing
  • The early ability to link and index real-time
    annotations to digital audio files that are
    compressed as they are recorded has enabled the
    court to electronically transport these files via
    network to outsourcing facilities
  • This is leading to the development of a complete
    outsourcing model that promises to bring the
    business of courts into the 21st century,
    creating new efficiencies and benefits

14
Extended Outsourcing is Now Viable
15
Florida Court Saves 1 Million a Year
  • This model of court automation is has been saving
    the 13th judicial circuit 997,729 a year
  • Florida installation also proves that courts
    electing to purchase a digital recording system
    consisting of CourtFLOW software, computer
    hardware and audio equipment can save more than
    80,000 per month and receive a 100 return on
    their technology investment within three months

100 Return On Investment
