How to Get the Most Out of Technology at Your Next Deposition

While video greatly enhances a deposition, the words are still crucial. With video and transcript synchronization, you can see both the transcript and the video on a single screen. The text simply scrolls alongside the video, where you can link to associated exhibits and search by keyword or page and line number.

The synchronization tools also allow you to pinpoint and create clips of the parts of your deposition that are most important to your case. The audio and video files can be edited, redacted, and trimmed to include only the most crucial moments. When you’re done, you can share your clips via email or export them to PowerPoint or your litigation support software of choice to better present them.

It’s always useful to have your whole team on hand to observe your depositions in person, but travel costs can be prohibitive. Veritext Virtual offers the next best alternative to actually being there. With Veritext Virtual, you can take or attend depositions remotely with live, secure video streaming, from the comfort of your own office or conference room. Now, everyone involved with a deposition (up to 100 participants, in fact) can participate remotely via any computer with a webcam and an internet connection.

Veritext Virtual offers secure real-time video and live text streaming to all participants, plus the ability to securely chat in real time to the whole group, in virtual breakout rooms, or one-on-one with colleagues. You can also share documents or exhibits and annotate them as the deposition goes on. Even better, Veritext Virtual comes with 24/7 technical support to handle any issues that may arise.

Video tools offer far more than the ability to simply watch and participate in videos. With Native Evidence Capture from Veritext, you can display electronic documents to witnesses during depositions and record the mouse movements and keystrokes they make while they review the documents in real time. This sophisticated technology gives you the ability to capture witnesses’ reactions as they review important files, synced with the video, audio, and transcript of the deposition.

Native Evidence Capture allows you to create video files of the real-time native data and produce high-quality images of how witnesses manipulate the computer screen to use as powerful evidence later in your case. The technology is capable of capturing all types of native evidence, including Source Code, Java, native medical evidence, Google Earth fly-ins, and CAD files.

Videoconferencing has long been a solution when getting groups of scattered people together is impossible due to time, cost, or both. But even when you’re meeting remotely, having the right setting still matters. Veritext offers you the ability to host virtual meetings, interviews, or conferences with participants from around the globe, all from secure, state-of-the-art suites. When you partner with Veritext, you have access to thousands of such rooms throughout the world, provided by Veritext’s affiliates.

The suites offered through Veritext are equipped with broadcast-quality video cameras, high-definition video screens, and high-quality phone systems. With state-of-the-art technology on your side, you can count on interactive communications with clear and precise streaming, even to remote sites. Videoconferences can even be recorded for future use.
