    DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 14, 2007--Digital Recorders, Inc.
(DRI) (Nasdaq:TBUS), a digital communications technology leader in the
domestic and international public transportation and transit security
markets, announced today that its shareholders approved all three
proposals during yesterday's Annual Meeting of Shareholders, which was
held at the Hilton Raleigh-Durham Airport at Research Triangle Park in
North Carolina.

    Shareholders voted to:

    --  Elect six directors to serve until the Annual Meeting of
        Shareholders in 2008;

    --  Ratify the selection of independent auditors for fiscal year
        2007; and

    --  Approve an Amendment to the Company's Certificate of
        Incorporation to change the corporate name from "Digital
        Recorders, Inc." to "DRI Corporation."

    No other business was transacted during the Annual Meeting of
Shareholders.

    CHAIRMAN'S COMMENTS

    Immediately following the business meeting, DRI Chairman,
President and Chief Executive Officer David L. Turney reviewed and
discussed with shareholders the outlook for the Company's fiscal year
2007 -- a year in which he said the Company is expecting to post a
profit.

    Regarding management's plans to further address shareholder value,
Mr. Turney said: "Management is investigating the implementation or
acceleration of additional actions that may help the Company increase
shareholder value. Such actions under consideration include: (1)
expanding recognition of the Company's participation in a number of
important international markets and the fact that a substantial and
growing part of the Company's business is derived from those markets;
(2) renewing the Company's evaluation of potentially strategic options
in the U.S. and abroad, including possible mergers and acquisitions;
and (3) retaining an investor relations firm to assist management in
educating the investing public about the Company's products and
services, as well as in initiating coverage by financial analysts. We
intend to energetically continue our efforts to improve the Company
and to increase shareholder value."

    Mr. Turney also said that Cast Master Mobitec India Private
Limited, the Company's recently announced new joint venture in New
Delhi, India, received notice of a pending order award - an event that
was not expected until later in the fiscal year - on June 13, 2007.

    Further, Mr. Turney said that, following the passage of the
amendment to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation to change the
corporate name from "Digital Recorders, Inc." to "DRI Corporation,"
management would then be free to incorporate the Digital Recorders
(DR) division as "Digital Recorders, Inc." The DR division is based in
Durham, N.C.
