For once, I feel that I actually have time to actually look at the person in front of me and they feel that they're being listened to.

Justice Transcribe is the best thing that has been brought into probation.

Probation Services Officer

Useful. Helpful. Time saving. Life changing.

Can't rate transcribe highly enough. Finally we introduce a process that is useful, not overly complicated, and labor intensive.

Probation Officer

Frees me up to do the job of assist, advise, and befriend clients. This is the bedrock on which the probation trust was founded.

Probation Officer

Probably the biggest development in probation practice
