Overview

GRS court reporters provide realtime (steno note translations) into English using notebook computers at depositions. Rough draft transcripts can be provided on disk or via interactive realtime fed directly to clients' computers.

Once the setup is complete, the attorney can instantly observe testimony as it occurs, mark and annotate text with issue codes, and perform searches while testimony continues.

Reporters also pre-edit all realtime and rough transcripts to provide effective litigation tools.

Requirements For Realtime On Attorneys Computer

In order to receive a realtime hookup an attorney's computer needs to have a 9-pin serial connector. While in the past these were commonplace on notebook computers, more and more of the newer models do not come with one built in. If this is the case the attorney must have a USB->Serial adapter installed and configured prior to the court reporter's arrival.

Aside from the physical connection, the attorney must have software such as Livenote, Caseview, or Bridge installed and configured prior to the deposition.
