Deposition Director

DepositionDirector^® combines audio/video depositions with smooth scrolling transcript to captivate the jury in a way that is virtually impossible with printed transcript. Synchronized Digital Video Transcripts (DVT), available from many litigation support firms nationwide, can be created from common VHS or mini-DV tapes and standard ASCII transcripts, making the advantages of using DepositionDirector immediately apparent.

With DepositionDirector's clip wizard, clip creation is simply a matter of searching the transcript with one of the many search tools and highlighting the text selections to be included in the clip and that’s it.

DepositionDirector takes you from transcript search to a dynamic TrialDirector presentation in six clicks. In fact, the clips will automatically appear on the DVT tab in DocumentDirector. And, with the exhibit attachment feature, an integrated testimony presentation is as easy as the scan of a barcode.

New features, such as the Word Index allow users to click on a keyword within the index to automatically jump to the associated transcript and video point. The Word Index is an invaluable deposition review tool, using the power of synchronized digital video transcript.

Another new feature allows users to query all transcripts in a given case, using Boolean search methods. Search results are hyperlinked, which allows users to directly jump to the associated digital video transcript page/line point to review. Search results are also expandable.

Printing deposition case data is now even easier and more robust. Print reports of DVT clips, condensed transcripts, and word indexes. A new Print Preview feature let you preview and setup page attributes prior to printing.

DepositionDirector's capabilities extend beyond depositions. Any audio or videotape that has a corresponding transcription, such as court proceedings or phone conversations can be converted into a Digital Video Transcript and used with DepositionDirector. Even import regular ASCII text transcripts to use DepositionDirector's clip creation, Word Indexing, and searching capabilities.

With the wide range of possibilities, evidentiary review has become state of the art.
