This approach helps litigators find both the realtime testimony they flagged and all other information related to that particular testimony. Summation comes in many different flavors. Each version of Summation also includes the ability to accept and interact with realtime feeds. Even so, for those lawyers primarily concerned with transcript management, Summation is probably overkill. Despite the growing popularity and numerous advantages, realtime reporting is not for everybody.
Some lawyers find the constant flow of testimony distracting.
Others find that the additional costs outweigh the benefits. However, the growing number of realtime users indicates that this view may soon be in the minority. And with good reason.
