In the middle of a contentious 30(b)(6) deposition — opposing counsel raising objections on every third question — she didn’t miss a syllable. The rough draft landed in my inbox forty minutes after we went off the record. I’ve worked with reporters for eleven years. This is the standard now.

What Happens
After You Book
The anxiety of the unknown is a tax on every booking. We eliminate it by showing you exactly what happens, step by step, before you sign anything.
You Book
Proceeding type, date, duration, location.
The booking form takes under three minutes. Select your proceeding type, enter the date and estimated duration, specify in-person address or remote Zoom link, and add your case name and any special instructions — technical terminology, multiple parties, confidentiality designations.
Note
Booking confirmed or declined within 1 hour
Confirmation Arrives
Within the hour, every time.
A confirmation email lands in your inbox with the reporter's name, direct contact number, and a pre-deposition checklist — witness pronunciation guide, exhibit numbering convention, and any jurisdiction-specific format requirements. No surprises on the day of the proceeding.
Note
Pre-deposition checklist included
The Proceeding
Three feet from the witness, fingers moving.
The reporter arrives fifteen minutes early. Equipment is tested, the witness is sworn, and the record begins. At 225 words per minute, nothing is missed — not the rapid-fire cross, not the sotto voce sidebar, not the spelled-out exhibit designation. The record is clean because the reporter is present.
Note
225 WPM · zero missed syllables
Rough Draft
In your inbox before you leave the building.
Real-time rough draft option delivers an unedited ASCII transcript within minutes of going off the record. The rough draft is flagged as unedited — it is a working tool for counsel, not the certified record. Ideal for immediate review of key admissions, preparing for cross, or flagging corrections before the final transcript.
Note
Rough draft in 40 minutes · certified in 5 days
Certified Transcript
The official record, delivered on schedule.
The final certified transcript is delivered via secure portal in your selected format — standard PDF with word index, condensed (4-page), ASCII for litigation software, or eSCRIBE/SyncTEXT for video sync. The reporter's certificate is included. The record is complete.

I’ve used Depose for six consecutive arbitration days. The daily copy was in my hands before opposing counsel packed up their exhibits.
