Richmond Hill, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - November 18, 2025) - VIQ Solutions Inc. (TSXV: VQS) ("VIQ Solutions" or the "Company"), a global provider of secure, AI-driven, digital voice and video capture technology and transcription services, announces the continued adoption of its NetScribe™ platform and the newly enhanced NetScribe Advanced Formatter in the court record production vertical. Purpose-built to streamline the creation of complex legal documents, this solution significantly reduces production time and helps alleviate ongoing staffing and workload challenges in court systems nationwide.

• Courts facing labor shortages and growing backlogs can use NetScribe workflow automation and AI-assisted transcription to accelerate turnaround times and maintain filing compliance. Regular daily use of NetScribe for editing has shown up to 30% improvement in efficiency after 6 weeks through the use of speech to text and workflow automation.

• Recent operational and margin improvements highlighted in VIQ Solution's Q3 financial results reflect the proven impact of automation and workflow modernization by utilizing the NetScribe suite. In the US alone, there was a 2% operational margin gain in 2025.

• When paired with FirstDraft™, the NetScribe Advanced Formatter enables organizations across industries to automatically generate accurate, consistently formatted draft documents, reducing reliance and cost on specialized staff.

• A major Midwest court system is already realizing faster transcript completion and enabling staff to focus on higher-value review and oversight functions. On average, the technology is saving 60 or more minutes time spent per document.

• VIQ's recent, and previously announced, upsized private placement underscores its commitment to investing in innovation and assisting in transforming the technological landscape of the court industry.

"In our experience, the integration of NetScribe and the NetScribe Advanced Formatter is enabling organizations to modernize documentation workflows," said Caroline Brown, Vice President of Product at VIQ Solutions. "We are proud to support court systems and other professional environments as they adapt to evolving staffing and workload demands."

VIQ Solutions is also pleased to announce that it has issued stock options and restricted share units ("RSUs") of the Corporation covering a total of 2,350,000 common shares of the Corporation under its omnibus equity incentive plan, including a grant of 1,400,000 RSUs to certain officers and directors of VIQ Solutions. 1,050,000 of such RSUs will vest following the one-year anniversary of the grant date, and the balance of the RSUs will vest based on certain share price and gross margin vesting criteria.
