VIQ Solutions Inc. Announces Netscribe™ Advanced Formatting: Evolving Documentation with Ai-Driven Enhancements VIQ Solutions Inc. announces the launch of NetScribe™ Advanced Formatting, a cost-effective solution for the documentation needs of courts, deposition companies, legal firms, and law enforcement. VIQ has longstanding relationships with major courts and law enforcement agencies worldwide, and has extended over USD 17.0 million in annual revenue with its top customers, many of whom are utilizing NetScribe™ as they expand their relationship with VIQ. During Q124 alone, VIQ added over 79 new logos and total NetScribe™ minutes have increased, year over year, by 30%. The customers recognize that there will not be a direct pivot from traditional service/labor-based documentation creation to AI/STT-generated text. The evolution will be the adaptation of hybrid solutions that will broaden access to documentation where it had been cost-prohibitive in the past and utilize full editing capabilities with the human-in-the-loop on the most essential and critical evidentiary requirements. NetScribe™ Advanced Formatting offers new capabilities that automate the production of documents with complex requirements, such as exact number of lines per page, custom cover and certification pages, automated indexes, and witness movements, all within the NetScribe™ platform. When combining these innovations with NetScribe’s hallmark workflow automation and speech-to-text with post-processing, multi-speaker detection and Domain-Specific Language Models (DSLMs), the NetScribe™ platform offers a powerful end-to-end solution to produce highly usable documentation, both as FirstDraft™ and verbatim documents. As documents are corrected by a human, VIQ’s DSLMs continuously learn about the documentation nuances (such as accents, terminology, formatting of punctuation and words, disfluencies, diarization characteristics, and more) of a specific vertical, geography, or customer, which is then used to produce FirstDraft™ documents that are highly accurate. With the addition of NetScribe™ Advanced Formatting, both the structure and the content of a document become fully automated with a highly accurate and usable output. Announcement • May 08

VIQ Solutions Inc. Files Two Provisional Patent Applications with United States Patent and Trademark Office VIQ Solutions Inc. announced that it has filed two provisional patent applications with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). The patents augment the Company's speech engine agnostic workflows, improving documentation accuracy and usability of documentation, for courts, insurance, law enforcement and media organizations across the globe. The first patent application is directed to the systems and methods for training domain-specific Automated Speech Recognition (ASR) language models. The novel methods can be leveraged to form accurate speech recognition to easily manage nuances of domain-specific words, accented speech and languages, including mixed-language audio files, and document formatting requirements. The second patent application is directed to the automated selection of domain specific ASR models. This patent aims to protect the various mechanisms used to load static or dynamic DSLMs. The static model is used based on a pre-assigned setting and the dynamic methods utilize the Goodness Score or Artificial Intelligence Natural Language Understanding (NLU) to determine the context and domain of the audio, followed by a second pass using a DSLM creating profound ASR improvements in domain-specific verticals. Both workflows utilize DSLMs to improve the quality of the draft transcript. DSLMs use a large database to create a baseline to create a new task-specific model that is being trained using the knowledge learned by the large language model. It leverages the knowledge learned during the training of the original model to improve the performance of the new model, resulting in increased efficiency, improved performance, and enhanced interpretability.

VIQ Solutions Announces Receipt of Nasdaq Notice of Deficiency VIQ Solutions Inc. announced that it has received a written notification of deficiency from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") dated September 27, 2022, indicating that the Company no longer satisfies Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), continued listing requirement for minimum bid price, based upon a closing bid price of less than $1.00 per share for the Company’s common shares (the “Shares”) for the prior 30 consecutive business day period. The notification from Nasdaq has no immediate effect on the listing of the Shares, and the Shares will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “VQS”. Despite receiving the non-compliance letter from Nasdaq, the Company believes that the current price of the equity has been significantly impacted by macroeconomic events and is hopeful that it will meet the compliance requirements within the grace period. Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company is provided with a grace period of 180 calendar days, or until March 27, 2023, to meet the minimum bid price requirement under the Nasdaq Listing Rules. If at any time during the 180-day grace period, the closing bid price of the Shares is $1.00 per Share or higher for at least ten consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide the Company written confirmation of compliance and the matter will be closed. In the event the Company does not regain compliance within the initial 180-day grace period, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180-day grace period, provided that the Company meets the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for the Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the bid-price requirement, and the Company provides written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period, by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary, subject to determination by the staff of Nasdaq. The Company intends to monitor the closing bid price of its Shares during this grace period and will consider its options in order to regain compliance with The Nasdaq Capital Market minimum bid price requirement. If the Company does not regain compliance with The Nasdaq Capital Market minimum bid price requirement within the permitted grace period(s), the Shares will be delisted from Nasdaq, which would be expected to have a material adverse effect on the liquidity and trading price of the Shares. The Shares are also listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX: VQS) and the Company is currently in compliance with applicable listing requirements of the Toronto Stock Exchange.
