Details for Law Firms
RealLegal E-Transcript files surpass the functionality of an ASCII file! Recipients do not require any special software to open, browse, search or print a RealLegal E-Transcript… just the free E-Transcript Viewer. Court reporters can instantly send the E-Transcript files in ".EXE" format with the E-Transcript Viewer embedded, or as a ".PTX" file so law firms can download the free viewer separately. RealLegal E-Transcript files can be delivered via email, on diskette, or within a Publisher Bundle containing all of the applicable transcripts, linked exhibits, and synchronized video from the case.

Each RealLegal E-Transcript has guaranteed page and line integrity and comes as a read-only, accurate, encrypted, virus and password-protected transcript. For maximum security and authentication, court reporters can include their official electronic signature with each RealLegal E-Transcript. Law firms also have the ability to create their own E-Transcript from an ASCII using RealLegal E-Transcript Internet™ on a pay-per-use basis.

RealLegal E-Transcript files offer:
  • Printing Power - Recipients may print single transcripts, condensed transcripts (up to 16 pages of transcripts per sheet), and word indices.
  • Value-added Format - Time spent searching and summarizing transcripts is reduced by using the patented Hyperlinked Word Index. The interactive key word index is electronically linked to page and line numbers in the transcript.
  • Easy and Accurate Citations - Text can be copied directly from the E-Transcript Viewer and pasted elsewhere. The pasted citation automatically includes the deponent name, date, page and line summary, and the formatted text.
  • Import Flexibility - Attorneys may directly import E-Transcript files into LiveNote SR and other popular litigation support software.
  • Verified Authenticity - An E-Transcript Electronic Signature certificate can be viewed on-screen to instantly verify its authenticity and security.
  • And much more!

Details for Court Reporting Firms
RealLegal E-Transcript Manager is user-friendly, powerful software that quickly imports and standardizes an ASCII transcript from a court reporter's CAT software to create a customized and secure transcript. With E-Transcript Manager, court reporters can be sure to put their best foot forward and convey a professional image to every client. For added convenience and peace of mind, reporters can electronically sign and certify the individual RealLegal E-Transcript files they produce.

Court reporters (or production staff members) simply import their ASCII and select the desired properties for the finished RealLegal E-Transcript. Aside from standard fields to identify the client and case, reporters can assign passwords and lock-out codes to limit or permit printing, clipboard copy, and "save as" functions. All pertinent data is stored within an intuitive central interface that assists with job tracking, production, and client billing.

All RealLegal E-Transcript files are encrypted and virus protected and flexible to be sent with the free E-Transcript Viewer embedded (".EXE" format) or separate (".PTX" format). RealLegal E-Transcript files can be safely and securely e-mailed for instant electronic delivery (.PTX recommended), sent on diskette, or bundled with exhibits and video using RealLegal Publisher.

RealLegal offers three tiers for its E-Transcript Manager technology. The standard software, RealLegal E-Transcript Manager, is installed at computer workstations within the production department. The "lite" version, RealLegal E-Transcript Internet, offers reporting agencies and law firms a 'pay-per-use' alternative to the installed software. The "Reporter Edition" enables field reporters to collaborate with scopists and send their transcript files from their remote computer directly to the E-Transcript Manager job queue at the home office.

The latest RealLegal E-Transcript Manager software (Version 8.0) includes:
  • New!  Transcript Themes – Do you ever feel like a coffeehouse barista administering a deluge of format requirements from your attorneys?

    “I’ll have a full-sized signed transcript at Arial 10 point font with bolded Q’s and the case name in the lower right footer.”

    “I’ll have a 4 per page condensed with a 1 point border a Times 14 point word index and full sized Appearances at 16 point monospace.”

    The Transcript Themes tool in E-Transcript Manager 8.0 saves collections of intricate print and formatting properties requested by your clients. Rather than setting each individual property for the transcripts being produced for Claire Clements’ attorney, simply apply your pre-set “Sharp, Shape & Sheep LLP” theme with one click. Transcript Themes will save you time and simplify how you prepare transcripts, indices, errata sheets and dictionary reports.
  • New!  Sticky Print Settings – Do you want to be absolutely positive that the complex layout and print settings you apply are intact when the attorney receives the transcript? If so, then you need to use E-Transcript Manager 8.0. Apply a Transcript Theme that includes your desired print settings and send your client the new E-Transcript Viewer for version 8.0. When your attorney goes to print the transcript, your settings will be the print default.
  • New!  Share Work Product – Version 8.0 includes enhancements to how E-Transcript Manager, E-Transcript Signatures and E-Transcript Reporter Edition all work together to improve how work flows among production teams, reporters, scopists and proofreaders.
  • Seal Transcripts with an Electronic Signature – E-Transcript Signatures utilize encryption technology and 3rd party notarization to protect transcripts from tampering. Apply a signature from within E-Transcript Manager or Reporter Edition. Get unlimited free signatures with your subscription to RealLegal Unlimited.
  • Manage the Production Queue -- E-Transcript Manager enables your staff to see at-a-glance which transcript orders have yet to be completed. A previously "Read" transcript can be marked as "Unread" to return it to bold and visually cue staff to finalize it for client delivery.
  • Search Archives – E-Transcript Manager lets you search any or all archive folders by a transcript property or keyword. The tool only returns the transcripts matching your search criteria.
  • Merge Multiple Transcripts -- E-Transcript Manager merges morning and afternoon sessions into a single, combined transcript with page and line accuracy.
  • Guarantee Compatibility with Any User – E-Transcript Manager imports Microsoft Word, Microsoft Write, WordPerfect and Rich Text Format (.rtf) transcripts just as easily as .txt or .asc transcripts. With the same ease, you can save final transcripts as E-Transcript (.exe or .ptx), .rtf, .html, or other formats. The E-Transcript format is supported by LiveNote, Summation and RealLegal Binder software for attorneys.
  • Edit and Redact Transcripts – E-Transcript Manager provides word processing features and redaction tools within its E-Transcript Editor module.
  • Promote your Firm – E-Transcript Manager enables you to customize transcript cover pages with any information you want to provide, including your company’s logo and scheduling page.
RealLegal E-Transcript Viewer
The free RealLegal E-Transcript Viewer is for viewing the files created by E-Transcript Manager software. When creating the RealLegal E-Transcript file, court reporting firms can save the file as either a .PTX file or a .EXE file. In most cases, the .PTX format is preferred because it is smaller, requires less storage space, and it bypasses any possible conflicts with a recipients firewall. These files require the recipient to download the free RealLegal E-Transcript Viewer separately. The viewer only needs to be downloaded once and then any future RealLegal E-Transcript file will automatically launch in the previously downloaded viewer. Conversely, the .EXE format has the RealLegal E-Transcript Viewer embedded in the file.
