The Transcript Viewer allows the viewing, marking and notating of real-time transcription from a court reporter at a hearing or deposition. The transcript can be saved to hard disk, although most likely the transcript on disk will have to be purchased from the court reporter. If the transcript is purchased on disk, it can be loaded to preserve all of the markings and notations made during the real-time transcription. This is one of the program's most exciting features for litigators. Issue coding can be automated to insert a code every time a particular word is encountered including in real-time.
Navigation is joyously easy and logical.
A highlight follows the live transcription as it scrolls down the screen. If you make a note, the scrolling stops to allow you to concentrate on your note. If you plan to use this software at a deposition or hearing, make sure your court reporter's software can supply output in one of these formats. Since the connection is established through serial ports or on a network, you should always allow extra time before the hearing or deposition to test the communications setup. After the deposition, your issue codes can be used to create a paralegal report just by picking the issue codes you want included.
