Summation Blaze features Summation Realtime, a tool for viewing, searching, and annotating realtime depositions. With Summation Realtime, attorneys can have access to deposition testimony on their laptop PC seconds after a court reporter has keyed it in. The instant a question is observed to hit a sensitive nerve, testimony can be marked for later annotation, without losing focus on the proceedings. During a break in the deposition, realtime transcripts can be searched and further annotated. Attorneys can take an electronic draft of the deposition away with them after the proceedings. See the below links for more information.
