Press Release
Speche Communications
acquired by Stenograph, leading provider of realtime technology
Madison, WI – March 25, 2002
– Speche Communications, Inc., a leader in the field of realtime streaming text
via the internet, announced today that they have been acquired by Stenograph,
L.L.C. Stenograph is the world leader in writing machines and computer assisted
translation software for the Court Reporting community. Their realtime
technology, and the reporting professionals that utilize it, serve as the front
end, or input mechanism, to Speche’s streaming text technology.
“This is the ideal
acquisition for Speche and our clients,” says Stephen Brand, President and
Co-Founder of Speche Communications. “Stenograph brings stability and extensive
resources to our emerging technology and their expertise in high-speed,
realtime input serves as a cornerstone for our platform.” The accuracy of the
text and the speed in which it can initially be delivered to the Speche
platform is made possible primarily by the professional skills of machine
shorthand reporters (Caption Reporters, CART Reporters, and Court Reporters).
This synergy of technologies provides Speche with an unparalleled ability to
efficiently deliver realtime streaming text to anyone, anywhere in the world.
Stephen Brand will remain
responsible for new business development at Speche and the programming staff
will all continue with their same responsibilities. “The success of any business is always due to
the people behind it,” says John Wenclawski, President of Stenograph. “Speche
Communications is the leader in Streaming Text solutions because of their
incredible staff. In acquiring Speche, we wanted to make sure that the most
valuable assets of all, the people, would remain in place as we move forward to
the next level.” Speche’s corporate office will be moved to
