EWI welcome WeType as a new Supplier Partner

by Simon Berney-Edwards

The Expert Witness Institute is pleased to announce that they have accepted transcription service WeType as a new Supplier Partner.

 

The Supplier Partner scheme recognises organisations who supply goods and services to the Expert Witness community.

 

WeType offer full transcription services to UK professionals. Clients download a free recording app for mobile devices (VoiceMaster) and can use this to securely dictate and send from their phone for typing by experienced UK-based typists.  WeType is ISO27001 certified, CyberEssentials and GDPR approved. There are no fixed fees or minimum usage all with maximum ease of use. They offer total flexibility with instant setup and access to an allocated typist. They are highly experienced in medico-legal and other expert witness disciplines.

 

As part of the partnership, WeType are offering a Free Trial for all EWI members (worth £34.50 plus VAT) so they can try the service.

 

EWI Chair, Sir Martin Spencer said “We are delighted to be welcoming WeType as a supplier partner. The services they are offer are an excellent fit for our members offering opportunities to save time with an easy to use mobile app. We look forward to working with them over the coming months and encourage members to look into their services.”

 

Richard Phillips, Business Development Director at WeType said “WeType is delighted to be partnering with EWI. It’s on a shared value basis. We know how important data integrity is - our service is designed to ISO27001 standards – and we offer immediate encrypted access to UK-based typists on a pay-as-you-go basis. We look forward to getting reports processed more quickly for EWI members.”
