Case Teams

CASE EXHIBIT MANAGEMENT
Intuitive drag-and-drop private document upload, keyword and meta data search for quick access to all case exhibits from previous depositions, private preview, and exhibit presentation view tabs give attorneys more control. Exhibits remain private until introduced, so taking attorneys can focus on proceedings while the team manages exhibits.
ADVANCED EXHIBIT CAPABILITIES
Quickly introduce exhibits with one click, allow all deposition participants to scroll through exhibits, and direct participants to annotate displayed exhibits or a particular exhibit page. Expand to full screen mode or pop-out the exhibit window to another screen, plus use Zoom's screenshare to introduce video, web pages, and unusual file types such as native CAD drawings.
Testimony Playback with ScriptSync
View speech-to-text testimony streaming during the deposition. Apply bookmarks, issues, and notes shareable by the case team. Search text to find and play back spoken testimony, either privately or for everyone to hear. Pop ScriptSync out to a separate screen to improve focus.
