RealTime Court Reporting converts the spoken word into text that can be read, streamed, broadcast, searched, and archived almost immediately. This service will give attorneys and the court instantaneous access to the testimony being given in a deposition or court proceeding. 

​

RealTime will also provide legal professionals with a livestream feed to remote locations of their choice for other stakeholders to view live testimony without being in the room. The live feed also allows others to view the live transcript and help to aid in the research of information while being at a remote location.

​

Below are some additional advantages when using RealTime court reporting:

 

• Legal teams can easily search the RealTime feed for keywords to locate terminology previously referenced while the deposition is ongoing.

• The legal teams will have the ability to see the testimony being taken down into a live transcript giving them opportunity to clarify terms for the record and govern the speed at which testimony is given so the information produced is as accurate as possible.  

• Attorneys can quote verbatim testimony back to a witness.  For example, "Well, but two questions ago you said...."

• Reports can be quickly created for review during adjournment allowing the legal team to prepare or adjust questioning plans on the fly.

• Quick marks are able to be added by legal teams during live testimony by pressing the space bar. The quick marks can then be searched and testimony quickly reviewed after the deposition.

Video depositions can be a crucial tool to capture a deponent’s expressions and reactions. The stress and anxiety of litigation can cause the deponent to appear worried, evasive, and combative while answering questions under oath. Video footage can be utilized as exhibit evidence such as depicting event reenactment, onsite inspection, and animation to show the outcome of dangerous or reckless conduct. Video Depositions capture the essence of verbal responses.

​

Top reasons to consider leveraging advanced technology and remote access for videoconferencing, or deposing a witness include:

​

• Matters out of your control may occur while physically traveling to a deposition, e.g. weather, traffic, illness, emergencies, etc., leaving you behind schedule and forced to cancel last-minute.

• Considering the price of national and international travel reimbursement and lost time, an 8-hour roundtrip to another state for a short deposition may consume 2-days, severely decreasing productivity and cost-efficacy. The lost time in travel alone could be spent deposing multiple witnesses from the comfort of your home or office.

• Depositions conducted early in a case cause expeditious settling. The credibility of key witnesses is revealed and potentially deemed unreliable, forcing counsel to settle. Thus, saving time and other expenses stemming from lengthy, drawn-out cases.
