Providing transcripts in a variety of formats to accommodate our clients’ specific litigation management software needs is standard at SBR. We deliver what you need, when you need it, in the delivery method of your choice – hard copy, on CD, email, 24/7 access to our secure, password-protected online repository, or all of the above!
Simply request and receive same-day rough draft electronic transcripts via email in your preferred formats, allowing for review of testimony immediately, aiding in preparation for next-day or upcoming depositions.
At SBR, we provide realtime court reporting compatible with all leading RT software. Legal professionals can access testimony instantaneously on their laptops or iPads, streamlining their preparation for next-day or upcoming depositions, create quick marks, annotate text, code issues, perform complex word searches, run reports, and much more.
No need to be sitting in the actual room any longer to participate in the proceeding. With the advent of Internet live text, audio and video streaming, attendees can now be scattered across the country participating remotely via a secure, encrypted connection from their home office, without incurring the time and expense of travel.
Exhibits are imaged and converted into a file that creates hyperlinks between each exhibit mention within the electronic transcript and the imaged exhibit. Hyperlinks to the exhibits are embedded into the electronic transcript so that any exhibit can be instantly viewed with a simple click on the link from anywhere any time, provided in your format choice to allow for easy importation into all types of litigation support software.
At SBR, all digital video depositions and arbitrations can be synched to the transcript, creating a searchable electronic transcript and video for the legal professional, along with the ability to easily create “clips” for use at trial. SBR provides the synchronized file in a variety of formats easily imported into all popular case management and presentation software programs, as well as a stand-alone program.
Increasingly, our clients turn to videography to record evidence for trial, as it preserves the testimony, illustrates witness demeanor, and potentially reduces costs by eliminating in-person testimony at trial. Our experienced video service experts have the technical expertise and professional knowledge required for a legal setting, consistently delivering a quality product in your preferred format.
Offering LiveDeposition Text, Audio & Video Streaming. LiveDeposition allows entire legal teams involved in cases to participate remotely in a deposition, an arbitration, or any other type of meeting and/or conference easily with just an Internet connection, Browser and Adobe FlashPlayer.
