Gravity does have some basic case-tracking features including a document database. Concordance is a full text document database program with limited transcript-processing features. Although Concordance has a powerful database, it is not a typical transcript management program. Concordance does not allow easy selecting, viewing, or annotating of transcripts. To add information to the transcript text, you must set up a database structure that includes separate fields for deponent name, date, notes, issue codes, and annotations.
Concordance is better for searching transcript text and displaying search results.
It boasts some very sophisticated word and phrase search functions, but most litigators don't need such powerful search engines. Conclusion When selecting a transcript management program, consider your needs and your budget. Discovery Pro, however, gets the edge based on its design, ease of use, and functionality. Gravity is a less expensive option, but is more rigid with fewer features. And Concordance, though equipped with sophisticated search engines, it isn't a true transcript management program.
