Secure Transcription for Prisons and the Justice Sector
AI transcription purpose-built for secure estate environments. Offline recording, automatic deletion and a human-in-the-loop workflow that has reduced administrative burden by over 87%.
Built for the Most Challenging Environments
Prisons present unique challenges: acoustic difficulties, strict security requirements, limited or no connectivity and the need for offline capability. Purple Scribe was purpose-built to solve these so key workers can focus on what matters most: engaging with the people in their care.
87%
reduction in administrative burden
Key workers using Purple Scribe spend their time engaging in meaningful conversations with people in custody rather than stopping to take notes. The result is better engagement, more accurate records and significantly less admin.
Human-in-the-Loop Workflow
Staff remain in control at every stage. Purple Scribe handles the transcription and summarisation. Staff review, edit and approve before anything is submitted.
Gain Consent
Digital consent captured before every session.
Record Offline
Mobile app captures audio without internet, critical in secure estates.
Upload at Connectivity Point
Recordings securely synced when connection is available.
Auto Device Deletion
Audio automatically deleted from the device after upload.
Review and Approve
Staff review the transcript and summary, making any edits before submitting into the national offender database.
Submit to Case Management
Approved records submitted by staff into their case management system. Human oversight at every stage.
More Engaging Conversations
When key workers are not constantly stopping to take notes, something changes. The conversation becomes more natural, more engaging and more productive. People in custody feel listened to. Key workers can focus on building rapport, understanding needs and supporting rehabilitation.
Purple Scribe captures the session in full so the key worker can be fully present. The write-up is produced afterwards, reviewed by the key worker and then submitted into their case management system. Better conversations lead to better records lead to better outcomes.
