Municipal Clerks of Illinois (MCI) Training Institute and Academy

As part of the October 8^th though 13^th annual conference, the MCI invited exhibitors to participate in an evening event of February 10^th. The event was held at the Doubletree Hotel in Bloomington Illinois. There were 12 vendors in attendance and approximately 130 Municipal Clerks attended the event.

Speech2Data LLC attended as an exhibitor providing attendees an opportunity to learn about the family of digital meetings recorders. Attendees were impressed with the simplicity, flexibility and functionality of these products. In addition, the incredibly low price of these systems (well under $2,000) was felt to be within the budgets of the smallest municipality’s budget.

Of special appeal was the fail-safe recording, 4-hour AC rechargeable battery and connectivity to the municipal IT network, permitting remote programming and file distribution. The other highly valued capabilities included automated note taking and noise management (resulting from ambient and eight live microphone feedback).

Attendees were further intrigued with the possibility of being able to assemble an integrated portable Emergency Recording kit.
