What Is Realtime Reporting?

Realtime reporting is the most advanced form of stenographic court reporting available. Using specialized software and a direct connection between the reporter’s stenographic machine and your device, a realtime reporter translates keystrokes into readable text instantaneously — with accuracy rates that meet the highest professional standards in the industry.

Unlike a standard deposition transcript delivered days after the proceeding, realtime gives you the record as it happens. You can read testimony as it is given, make notes directly on the transcript, flag key passages for follow-up, and share the live feed with co-counsel in another location — all in real time.

How Realtime Reporting Works

Our realtime reporters connect their stenographic equipment to your device via a secure, direct software connection. No internet required — the feed is delivered locally, keeping the transcript private and secure. At the conclusion of the proceeding, you receive a final certified transcript that supersedes the realtime feed for the official record.

Benefits of Realtime Reporting

Immediate access to testimony Read answers as they are given. No waiting for a rough draft or final transcript — the record is in your hands from the moment the witness begins speaking.

  • Smarter follow-up questioning Review testimony on the fly and formulate follow-up questions based on exactly what was said, not what you think you heard. Catch inconsistencies, pivot your line of questioning, and maintain control of the deposition room.
  • Immediate access to testimony Read answers as they are given. No waiting for a rough draft or final transcript — the record is in your hands from the moment the witness begins speaking.
  • Instant note-taking on the transcript Mark key passages, flag answers for further development, and annotate directly on the live feed. Your notes travel with the transcript.
  • Trial preparation advantage The realtime feed combined with the final certified transcript gives your team a head start on designations, impeachment preparation, and summary work before the deposition is even over.

Realtime Rough Draft

Not every proceeding requires a full realtime setup. Our reporters can also provide a realtime rough draft — an unedited version of the transcript delivered electronically within hours of the proceeding. Faster than standard turnaround, the rough draft gives you a working copy of the record while the final certified transcript is being prepared.

  • Live realtime feed during the proceeding
  • Final certified transcript
  • Condensed transcript and word index
  • E-Transcript (RealLegal) format available

What is the difference between realtime and a rough draft?

Realtime is a live feed delivered during the proceeding. A rough draft is an unedited transcript delivered electronically within hours after the proceeding concludes. Both are working documents — only the final certified transcript is the official record.

How accurate is the realtime feed?

Our realtime reporters meet the NCRA’s realtime certification standards, which require a minimum 96% accuracy rate. The realtime feed is an unedited working transcript — the final certified version is edited and proofed before delivery.
