Remote Counsel,
a provider for remote participation in depositions and the
courthouse, and eDepoze,
a market innovator for paperless deposition solutions, have formed a
partnership to integrate technology platforms to create robust
remote participation capabilities for depositions.
Remote Counsel will add eDepoze’s electronic exhibit platform
into its court reporter case management platform to offer attorneys a complete
remote participation experience. Similarly, eDepoze will integrate Remote
Counsel’s streaming solution to offer its customers a more complete experience.
By combining Remote Counsel’s extensive remote participation features, including
video conferencing and video streaming, realtime transcript streaming, and
private group chat, with eDepoze’s end-to-end electronic exhibit solution,
attorneys and remote participants are able to fully participate in depositions
like they are in the conference room. The combined offering also reduces
deposition costs by minimizing travel, printing, and shipping costs.
By the end of the year, Remote Counsel and eDepoze will have an
initial integration complete, which will allow attorneys to participate using
either platform to use both services at the same time. Attorneys should ask
their court reporters how to get started, and court reporters should contact
Remote Counsel or eDepoze to implement the service. Contact:

WHICH SEARCH ENGINE TO USE? Although Experian Hitwise reported in their recent survey of 10 million Internet
users that Google's share of all searches in July 2011 was 66 percent while
Yahoo and Bing accounted for 14.49 percent and 13.19 percent of all searches.
Both Bing and Yahoo had better search success rates. Over 81% of Yahoo's searches
and over 80% of Bing's resulted in a visit to a web page, while only about 67%
of Google's searches resulted in a page visit. A search engines' success
rate is a critical measure of how well a search engine is doing its job.
Google may be big, but it may not be the best choice for busy legal
professionals. For more information on this extensive study and other Hit

A BOLD STATEMENT? UPDATE: June 2, 2011 From Jim DeCrescenzo's "Lawyer Approved Blog"
on Visionary's Expo 2011 product introduction -
"Finally, it is interesting to note that after travelling across the
country to view the voice recognition software rollout, the live
demo never occurred because the system failed at the hands of the
experts in the field." to view
Jim's complete review go to
http://lawyerapproved.blogspot.com/
Many companies have tried to perfect
speech recognition technology with the results being less than
perfect. Most have announced their new "Promising" products
with much fanfare and bold statements of how they where about to
change the future. Now Visionary Legal Technologies is set to
introduce their Visionary Speech Transcript (VST) tools at their
Expo 2011 event in Dallas on May 21, 2011. Information is
sketchy at this time but their web site boasts, "Now, experts are
saying that Digital Reporting and Voice Recognition for this
industry is still years off. But, they don't know what we know!
We have nailed it! We have the tools and are ready to change
the industry ...." They appear to be claiming that VST,
when used in conjunction with their Visionary Digital Recorder (VDR),
will produce a transcript. They even invite videographers to handle
"reporting for events outside the standard deposition work."
But they seem to back off their "We have nailed it" claim by
saying at the end of their web page that what this software really
produces is a rough draft and not a final transcript. Since
the term rough draft is subject to many opinions, you have to ask -
How rough a draft? Have they really overcome the problems of
Speech Recognition that have plagued other speech recognition
products, such as speech patterns, speed, and regional dialects, for
example? Obviously, these questions will be answered with the
release of their new product. Contact Visionary Legal
Technologies for more information.
