WinnerVR allows its end users, including judges, attorneys and court reporters, to save valuable time that is normally spent editing transcriptions with its easy to use auto-proofing and auto-indexing features. WinnerVR also offers visual effects to enhance input quality, as well as a vocabulary manager and multi-track audio recording.
