High Criteria Inc., today announced the availability of the Liberty Interview Recorder, V1.1.

The Liberty Interview Recorder is designed with recording features that address the needs of police and other law enforcement services. Specifically, the application records the audio, video and associated notes directly to the hard drive of a recording PC. Thereafter, the file may be managed, just as is any other data file. Integrating the interview recording with the computer environment allows the police service to leverage their existing investment in computing services and make use of current facilities for security, backup and recovery and long-term archival of the data.

The Liberty Interview system allows services to eliminate older DVR and VHS machines. The player program facilitates transcription, and the recording file may also be saved in a format that plays in Windows Media Player on an PC.

The Liberty Interview system includes the following features:

• a player application designed specifically for transcription
  
• allows export to PDF and WMA formats so the recordings may be transported and played back without the need for a proprietary player program
  
• imbeds a watermark onto each video frame to confirm the authenticity of the recording
  
• supports imbedded notes that may later be searched allowing users to quickly find older recordings
  

The Liberty Interview Recorder is available through local re-sellers in the United States such as JCG Technologies of Scottsdale Arizona (www.JCGTechnologies.com), Loffler Business Systems of Minnesota (www.Loffler.com), BIS Digital Systems (www.BISDigital.com) and Audio Data Systems Inc (www.audasy.com) and directly through High Criteria Inc.
