Vocal Recorders Interview & Evidence (I&E) Suite provides the next generation of interview recording technology for all organisations that require accurate and secure evidence as part of their interview process.
Designed to meet the standards of public authorities, security services and associated law enforcement agencies the Vocal I&E Suite is an end-to-end digital server solution. Interviews are recorded locally, stored securely and depending upon policy, can be made available for electronic distribution via secure networking to other authorised users and associated departments.
The I&E Suite provides voice and/or video recording, and with an intuitive workflow it can substantially reduce the number of processes involved in interviewing and evidence collection. I&E Suite complies with the most stringent law enforcement directives and codes of practice whilst ensuring that data integrity and suitable working practices are maintained.
Using the Vocal I&E Suite
Before commencing the interview a custody, case or reference number is entered into the system and this provides a unique identifier to which all relational data is linked. When using video, a twin camera arrangement provides a close-up view of the interviewee and a wide angle view of all participants at all times to guarantee integrity of process.
Next Generation Interview Recording Suite
Once the interview ends the digital file now resides on a central server in a secure and encrypted read-only format; it is available for ‘rules-based’ security access which will typically be for local replay and remote transcription services. Once transcribed the new text file remains electronically linked to the original recording and the I&E Suite text search facility provides rapid cross referencing to the corresponding sections of the original interview.

Vocal I&E - Fieldwork Version
All the benefits of the I&E Suite are also available to fieldwork operatives in the form of a ruggedized laptop providing fast and efficient handling of situations that are geographically dispersed.
The fieldwork version of the I&E Suite works in two different modes. Mode one:- as a standalone device so that the interview is recorded onto the laptop and the file transferred to the central server post-interview. Mode two:- with the addition of a communications link, live video can be streamed to other designated points; this allows geographically remote monitoring and inclusion of an expert audience.
