Take control of the deposition room

LiveNote® SR software can be used in realtime to give you instant access to testimony, to achieve an edge over the deponent or opposing counsel, and to settle cases more favorably. A LiveNote SR + Realtime subscription enables you – and any on-site or off-site team member – to receive live transcript text directly from the court reporter’s system. Markup live text as it scrolls on your computer, search earlier testimony to powerfully question a witness, and complete your deposition summary before leaving the conference room. You can even use our instant messaging tool to privately communicate with on-site or off-site team members.

So whether you are accessing the testimony from across the table, or your whole team is accessing it from across the country, the live feed will intimidate your opponent and strengthen your presence at the deposition.

1. Basic, On-site Only (Serial Realtime): If the realtime text will only be received by people located in the deposition room, the court reporter will provide serial realtime feed. The court reporter will connect the on-site laptops to their system via a serial cable. LiveNote has trained more than 400 Certified LiveNote Reporters to provide this service.
   • Transcript text only
   • On-site participants only
   • Participants must have LiveNote SR
   
   
2. Off-site and/or On-site (LiveNote Stream): To enable off-site participants to receive realtime transcript text, or to utilize the LiveNote Stream instant messaging tool, ask your court reporter to use our Internet-based LiveNote Stream™ technology instead of serial realtime. LiveNote Stream enables the entire team to receive the transcript text and communicate via instant messaging – no matter their locations.
   • Transcript text
   • Instant messages
   • On-site or off-site participants
   • Live text may be received in LiveNote Stream Browser instead of LiveNote SR
   • Additional features and benefits available to LiveNote SR users
   
   
3. Live Audio and Video (LiveNote Stream): You can enhance your realtime experience by receiving the live audio and video in addition to – or instead of – the realtime text. Click here for details about LiveNote Stream.

The LiveNote SR + Realtime subscription includes enterprise-wide Engate-Compliant™ realtime access - in the deposition room or elsewhere - without the need for individual tokens. In addition to being the only Engate-Compliant Realtime software on the market, LiveNote SR also delivers robust transcript and evidence-management tools for summarizing all of the historical transcripts in your case, analyzing exhibits, and getting to the heart of the case.

• Reduce distractions, read-backs and stalling tactics during depositions
• Participate in live depositions from anywhere - avoiding the time and cost associated with travel
• Enable co-counsel, legal assistants, experts and clients to monitor live events from any Internet-connected war room or office
• Achieve Engate compliance on all realtime events (no other product can do this)
• Use instant messaging during live depositions to get instant - and private - input from anyone connected to your group
• Search realtime transcripts during the live deposition to pinpoint salient points and immediately modify your approach

The realtime transcript text appears on your screen as the court reporter transcribes. Partially close your laptop to keep the scrolling feed from distracting you. Then, just press the Space Bar to mark testimony for follow-up later. This way, you can keep your eyes on the deponent – not the laptop!

If you want to mark testimony with more than just a Quick Mark, apply a color-coded Issue Mark by pressing a number key.

At any time during or after the realtime session, double click an earlier mark to jump back to its location in the transcript. Press the Esc key to return to the current line of live text.

In addition to realtime transcript text, you can utilize LiveNote’s instant messaging feature and receive the live audio and video.
