There are different formats that transcripts can be ordered in from your court reporter.  The one that we will be talking about in this blog is E-Transcript. 

RealLegal is the maker of E-Transcript.  E-Transcript files ensure page/line integrity.  The court reporter can even attach a signature on the certification page.

First, to view the transcript, you need to go to:  E-Transcript Viewer  to download the free viewer.

Once you've been sent an E-Transcript, they're fairly easy to use.  You can save it in different formats:  ascii, RTF, Summation, or Sanction.  You can also print a full-size transcript or a condensed transcript.

On the right-hand side, you will have a word index that will hyperlink to the transcript.  This way, you can easily find a word, click it, and it will take you right to that portion of the transcript.

You will never have to ask for an E-Transcript from Legal Media Experts.  We send an E-Transcript, ascii, condensed PDF, and full-size PDF with every order.
