accurate, verbatim transcripts of broadcast programming in minutes

VIQ Solutions Inc. (“VIQ” or the “Company”) (TSX and Nasdaq:
VQS), a global provider of secure, AI-driven, digital voice and
video capture technology and transcription services, today
announced its subsidiary, VIQ Media, has entered into two new
contracts, valued at approximately $580,000, to provide rush
verbatim transcripts and global newswire distribution to top global
news agencies. The Company also announced the five-year renewal of
its largest media client, representing an average annual revenue of
approximately $1.9 million, beginning April 2022. All amounts in
this news release are expressed in U.S. dollars unless otherwise
stated.
VIQ Media traces its roots back to the transcript division of
the Reuters News Service and continues at the forefront of what is
next in the industry. VIQ is committed to developing and swiftly
applying technological advancements to aid broadcasters as they
navigate the transformation of the media segment.
“We are proud that such esteemed organizations that deliver
Political, Financial and General Interest news daily, continue to
trust us with the critically important role of accurately rendering
and distributing their news content quickly and efficiently,” said
Elizabeth Pennell, President of VIQ Media. “These contractual
relationships attest to our ability to exceed expectations and aid
in the transformation of the media segment.”
The contracts encompass transcription services, video logging,
program monitoring, and newswire and database distribution of text
transcripts produced by VIQ to provide greater exposure and revenue
generation, which help offset transcription cost. FirstDraft
services are key to fulfilling the contractual obligations and
further enhance access to text-based documentation in near
real-time. The addition of video logging, a new service offering,
resulted from the consolidation of multiple vendor contracts.
VIQ leads the digital transformation with innovative
technologies that deliver faster and accurate transcripts while
securely protecting confidential information. VIQ services reduce
costs, decrease turnaround times, increase transcript accuracy, and
provide digitized innovation to the industry.
“In a year dominated by major news events, the need for secure,
AI-powered transcription services have increased exponentially,”
said Susan Sumner, President and Chief Operating Officer of VIQ.
“VIQ uses sophisticated technology to enable the fast, accurate,
and affordable production of text effectively supporting the
real-time demands of expanded streaming, social media, and 24-hour
news cycles.”
