When faced with a stack of paper, it’s easy to grab a marker and black something out (even if it doesn’t always work out quite as intended). Our Discovery Cloud offering (available publicly last month) aims to make the process even simpler, faster, and cleaner – and certainly not as permanent. Along with blocking out [...]

With many upload formats, we can auto-detect and set standard metadata fields for your deposition & courtroom transcripts, but what about when the format isn’t playing nice? It can be mildly annoying to manually key the data for a single transcript, but doing it for a larger set can be downright frustrating. Not a problem; [...]

Applying stamps to documents and exhibits has, historically, been a painful task: put a stamp on every page in this file cabinet.

The inability to go “full screen” while browsing on the Mac has been a pet peeve of ours for a while. Nowhere is it more apparent than while using Theater in court (demo video here) — Get that menubar off the top of my projection screen!
