Imagine two legal teams in the same deposition.
The witness is polished. The answers come quickly. There’s no obvious misstep. But somewhere in the testimony, a small inconsistency appears.
One team senses it but moves on, planning to revisit it later.
The other team sees it, confirms it, and acts.
The difference isn’t experience or preparation. It’s visibility.
Waiting vs acting
Teams without live transcript access often have no choice but to wait. They rely on notes, memory, and post-deposition review to piece things together.
Teams with live access to the record can search earlier testimony, compare answers, and decide whether the inconsistency is worth pursuing immediately. They can also cross reference testimony with previous records using their firm’s AI.
That ability to act in the moment is what separates spotting a turning point from missing it entirely.
How the Viewer enables real-time action
With Active Reporting, the Viewer gives legal teams a live view of the transcript as testimony unfolds. That makes it possible to move from intuition to confirmation without breaking the rhythm of the deposition.
The film tells this story through a single, high-pressure moment. One that many litigators will recognize.
Watch the contrast play out.
Seeing the difference side by side makes the impact clear.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do some legal teams catch inconsistencies during depositions?
Teams catch inconsistencies when they have real-time access to the transcript and the ability to search earlier testimony while the deposition is still underway.
What happens when teams don’t have live transcript access?
Without live transcript access, teams are forced to rely on memory and post-deposition review, which often means missing the opportunity to follow up in the moment.
How does Active Reporting help legal teams act faster?
Active Reporting provides live transcript access through a Viewer, enabling teams to confirm details and decide how to proceed before the deposition moves on.
