WHY DEPODASH?
We offer a virtual cloud-based digital court reporting and real-time transcription system.
DepoDash is a unique legal transcription and court reporting system. Unlike Zoom and other virtual conferencing services, DepoDash protects the integrity of the digital record. No one but the record manager will have access to the audio, video, exhibits, or the transcripts.
Remote Depositions
The presence of a live court reporter in a traditional deposition adds the element of security and order to a deposition. Deposing a witness on the DepoDash platform remotely offers the same security and order by a well-trained and certified digital court reporter. So why leave the convenience of your office?
The participants in a virtual deposition will perform their duties in the same manner as an in-person deposition. DepoDash enables the attorney to examine a witness, request a readback, join their client in a private huddle room, review the real-time transcript, add confidential notes to the transcript, share the PC screen, upload exhibits, et cetera.
The digital court reporter ensures proper decorum, makes certain participants speak clearly on the record, makes annotations, and corrections to the transcript. Any corrections to the transcript will be distributed to the participants instantly to improve the clarity of the real-time transcript.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Yes. Our platform is a comprehensive tool for both live and post-production work. You can easily transcribe audio and video files by uploading them to our secure cloud. The AI engine processes the media to create a formatted, timestamped transcript that can then be edited, proofread, and certified by your team using our integrated DD Editor.
While many remote deposition services rely on third-party video tools with legal “add-ons,” DepoDash is a purpose-built ecosystem. It integrates high-definition video conferencing with a proprietary editor, professional exhibit sharing, and secure “huddle rooms” for private counsel. This ensures that the official record remains synchronized and legally defensible from the start of the session to the final delivery.
Unlike standard captioning, our real-time transcription uses specialized AI designed to isolate multi-speaker audio and identify colloquy and Q & A instantly and automatically. This allows participants to follow along with a scrolling text feed, search for specific spoken words, and add private notes to specific testimony lines while the proceeding is still in progress.
Security is a top priority when using legal video transcription tools. DepoDash uses 256-bit encryption for all data in transit and at rest. When transcribing video testimony, the platform maintains a strict chain of custody and role-based access, ensuring that only authorized participants can view the video and its corresponding transcript, which is crucial for sensitive or confidential litigation.
Yes. DepoDash is not just for live events; it offers comprehensive legal audio transcription services for existing recordings. Users can upload audio files from depositions, hearings, or interviews, and the platform’s AI-powered engine will identify speakers and generate a formatted transcript in minutes. This can then be edited and certified by a legal transcriber directly within the DepoDash Editor.
With a nationwide decline in available stenographers, many firms are shifting to Digital court reporting to maintain their case schedules. DepoDash provides a high-tech ecosystem where digital reporters can capture high-fidelity audio and video, while the platform’s AI generates a real-time transcript. This hybrid approach ensures that a certified human professional is still “protecting the record” while leveraging modern technology to fill the gap left by traditional methods.
Many online legal transcription services are simply “black boxes” where you upload a file and hope for the best. DepoDash offers a transparent, all-in-one workspace that integrates with your existing workflow. It enables high-quality audio capture, real-time voice-to-text transcription (in person or remotely), immediate rough drafts, and automatic transcription of audio/video files. By choosing a specialized platform, you gain a professional-grade legal record that adheres to industry procedural standards.
While generic AI tools provide a rough idea of what was said, professional court transcription services like DepoDash are purpose-built for the legal industry. Unlike standard “speech-to-text” tools, DepoDash handles legal-specific formatting (line numbering, Q&A formatting, and timestamps) and allows attorneys to make real-time annotations and private issue codes, making the transcript immediately useful for trial preparation.
Security is paramount for any legal-grade platform. DepoDash employs 256-bit encryption for all data, including video, audio, and exhibits, both at rest and in transit. We use granular, role-based access controls to ensure that only verified participants (Attorneys, Schedulers, or Transcribers) can access the sensitive information relevant to their specific role in the case.
Yes. Our platform is designed to be flexible for remote, in-person, or hybrid environments. It acts as a centralized hub where the official record is captured securely in the cloud, ensuring that whether a witness is in the room or across the country, the final transcript remains consistent and fully synchronized with the audio and video records.
As a dedicated verbatim reporting platform, DepoDash is built from the ground up specifically for the legal industry, rather than being a “piecemeal” adaptation of generic conferencing tools. It integrates multi-channel audio recording with professional monitoring by a certified reporter to ensure that every “um,” “ah,” and critical testimony detail is captured with 100% accuracy and legal integrity.
The DepoDash transcription platform utilizes advanced AI and machine learning to automatically identify speakers by name in real time. As testimony is given, the text is streamed instantly to all authorized participants, allowing those with permission, the ability to search for keywords, add private annotations, and request immediate read-backs without interrupting the flow of the session.
No. DepoDash is a “zero-footprint” solution, meaning our court reporting software is entirely web-based. Unlike traditional systems that require expensive proprietary hardware or complex IT setups, you only need a standard PC or Mac with a webcam and an internet connection to host or join a professional-grade legal proceeding.
Absolutely. You can export your draft transcript from DepoDash in RTF format, which is compatible with popular CAT software like ProCAT Winner, allowing you to leverage your existing tools and workflows.
DepoDash is ideal for solo transcribers seeking an efficient, all-in-one platform for their work, and for enterprise-level organizations needing a secure, managed, and auditable workflow for multi-stage transcript production across various roles.
DepoDash is an AI-powered cloud digital court reporting system that provides efficient, affordable, and accurate transcripts from any device. It is the brainchild of ProCAT, a leading court reporting company with over 40 years of experience.
