WHO WE ARE

Two decades of setting the standard in records

We began as a stenography service in 2001 and were the first in Korea to fuse AI with transcription. Built on our own speech recognition engine (HAIV) and real-time voice engine (Brain), we are the proven partner that the most security-critical organizations — the Constitutional Court of Korea, the Financial Supervisory Service, and major banks — chose first.
