In the world of legal proceedings, one thing is certain: time is money. What if we told you that you can get deposition transcripts faster and for less money, while increasing efficiency at the same time? You can with Readback. Let’s explore how this dynamic service can elevate your practice.
Court Reporting in Crisis
Traditional court reporting is in crisis. Burdened by outdated technology and an increasingly dire (and well-documented) court reporter shortage, the industry is long overdue for a shakeup.
“The gap in supply and demand will require some type of reconciliation…alternative methods will consume the gap.”

So, What’s the Problem?
Sometimes we’re so used to the status quo, we don’t even consider that it may be time for a change. You get your transcripts (eventually), and they’re usually accurate, so what’s the problem?
Have you waited weeks for certified transcripts? Have you been nickel and dimed with add-on fees? Have you had accuracy concerns? Are travel expenses piling up? You can be free from these problems, and others you may not even know about, with Readback’s innovative approach. The bottom line? We believe that attorneys should get their transcripts faster, and pay less for them, while receiving superior service and premium benefits.
Tell Me More! What is Readback?
Powered by its proprietary Multi-Intelligence Service Team (MIST), a combination of cutting-edge, patented speech recognition technology and expert human transcribers, Readback is the best of both worlds: the efficiency of AI, but with human oversight to ensure quality and accuracy.
“I love that Readback is using technology to enhance the deposition process.”
—Attorney Andrew Lacy of The Lacy Employment Law Firm
So Who’s In Charge? Meet the Guardian.
Readback replaces the outdated steno machine and single steno operator with the MIST and a Guardian to oversee the entire proceeding. The Guardian is responsible for certifying the transcript, and is available for tech support, exhibit sharing, and record protection. Because they are freed from the burden of typing frantically to keep up with testimony, the Guardian is able to be a more relaxed, helpful, and present facilitator.
