verbalix portable is minute-taking software from it-processing AG for recording the proceedings of parliaments, councils, courts and committees, from municipal to national level. The software records the spoken word digitally, links each business item and speaker to the recording, and lets several minute-takers work on one session at once, with a central server synchronising their work. An optional speech-to-text module transcribes Swiss dialects and standard German, and verbalix publish releases the minutes. Minutes can be exported as Word, PDF or RTF, and there are connectors to GEVER records systems.
The vendor states that the transcription and publishing services run in a Swiss cloud; for the rest of the software it names no hosting location, so ask about it. it-processing AG is headquartered in Liebefeld (Bern), Switzerland; no foreign owner is named. Switzerland is not in the EU but is an EFTA country with an EU adequacy decision for data protection. For sessions with confidential content, it is worth having the vendor confirm in writing where recordings and transcripts are processed.
