A Guardian is assigned to oversee the proceeding, administer the oath, manage exhibits, and ensure everything runs smoothly. With the same care and precision you’d expect in a traditional, in-person setting, our Guardians provide the assurance that your remote depositions remain valid, professional, and reliable.
Scribebot Scarlett, our proprietary speech recognition tool, captures testimony in real time. Before the text appears in the Readback Viewer, it’s reviewed and refined by a team of human transcribers, so what you see is faster and more accurate.
Attorneys receive a rough draft in one hour and certified† audio & transcripts by the next business day*.
*Active Reporting only. Near-time text not available with other services.
