The Live Deposition Page
The Live Deposition page is where you can view the real-time transcript during a live deposition session.
The Session Status
The status of the session is displayed on the top-most part of the Live Deposition page.
Each session will run through these statuses in sequence:
- Starting Soon means the session is yet to start
- Getting Ready means the recording is yet to start or continued by the operator
- Ready means the transcribers are ready and the recording can start
- Transcribing means the recording has begun and the real-time transcript is actively in production
- Draft Processing refers to sessions that had recently concluded with the rough draft of the transcript still in progress.
NOTE: Rough drafts will be available about 1 hour after the deposition has ended and only for customers that pre-ordered it.
The Transcript Area
The transcript area is where the real-time transcript is built and viewed as the recording progresses.
If you ordered an AI Only transcript, you will see only the AI output.
- The fast automatic AI output in a bluish background, displayed on the bottom part of the transcript area
- The Improved AI version in white background, displayed on the upper part of the transcript area
If you ordered Immediate and/or Rough Draft, the transcript area will be divided into two parts:
- The automatic AI output in a bluish background, displayed on the bottom part of the transcript area
- The human-corrected version in white background, displayed on the upper part of the transcript area
Each new text will be posted in the blue AI area, then moved to the human-corrected area.
Speakers Identification (Only for Immediate and/or Rough Draft Versions)
Each speaker will be identified by a different color.
You can also see the speaker’s colors on the timeline on the top part of the page, so you can jump to different parts of the transcript according to the speaker’s color.
NOTE: The AI engine will automatically identify the speakers about 10 minutes into the session.

The transcribers apply legal formatting as the session progresses, for your convenience.
There are different types of legal formatting that are added by the team, namely:
- Examinations
- Q/A/Colloquy
- On/Off the record
- Exhibit marked
If you ordered a rough draft, you will also get these formatting: - Objections
