Trained Guardians at Every Deposition
Every Readback deposition is overseen by a Guardian, a certified professional trained to manage the flow of the proceeding and protect the integrity of the record. While technology powers the speed and efficiency of our platform, it’s our people who ensure each deposition runs smoothly and professionally from start to finish.
Guardians serve as your real-time partner in the virtual deposition space, eliminating the friction and uncertainty that often come with remote proceedings. Their presence means fewer interruptions, faster setup, and complete support, so you can stay focused on strategy and witness testimony.
What the Guardian Does
The Guardian isn’t just a tech monitor. They play a hands-on role in ensuring your deposition stays compliant, efficient, and stress-free. Every Guardian is trained in legal procedures, deposition etiquette, and virtual logistics to support you at every stage.
The Guardian’s responsibilities include:
- Opening and closing the record with proper announcements
- Swearing in the witness to maintain legal validity
- Managing exhibits on-screen and ensuring proper labeling
- Providing live technical assistance to attorneys, witnesses, and experts
- Monitoring transcript quality and coordinating with our transcription team
- Facilitating transcript delivery and confirming all post-depo requests
Why Human Oversight Matters
While other digital reporting platforms rely solely on automation or ask attorneys to manage logistics themselves, Readback believes legal professionals deserve better. The Guardian model ensures your time is spent on what matters most: preparation, strategy, and effective questioning instead of troubleshooting or administrative tasks.
When your deposition is supported by a Guardian, you don’t have to worry about missed exhibits, recording issues, or delays. You can trust that the details are handled by someone whose sole job is to keep the proceeding running smoothly.
More Than a Feature. A Standard
Every service tier at Readback includes Guardian oversight. It’s not an upgrade or an optional add-on, it’s how we operate.
Because remote doesn’t have to mean unsupported.
Every deposition conducted through Readback is overseen by a Guardian. Our Guardians are certified, trained professionals who support the proceeding from start to finish. Guardians ensure smooth operations, coordinate logistics, and offer live technical support to attorneys and witnesses throughout the session.
