What it is
DepoFlow syncs deposition transcripts with video, supports testimony designation, and renders trial-ready clips on the user’s machine. Its local speech recognition aligns transcript words with video moments, and each completed sync gets a color-coded quality score. In the Review app, transcript and video appear side by side, with page-line navigation, full-text search, and line selection that jumps to the corresponding moment. Users can arrange page-line ranges into designation sets, add ranges in bulk, or import opposing counsel’s lists from TXT, CSV, XLSX, and DOCX files. Exports include stitched MP4s, designation PDFs, and page-line exchange lists, with targets such as TrialDirector, Sanction, Summation, LiveNote/Case Notebook, RealLegal, AMICUS, and OpenDVT. A standalone HTML viewer opens synced video and transcript in a browser without installation or internet. After installation, the desktop app can sync, designate, and render clips offline. DepoFlow offers free viewing and paid options, including sync credits at $7.50 per credit and designation and clip exports at $99.00 per transcript. It runs on macOS, Windows, and web browsers.

DepoFlow in depth
Read the full write-up
DepoFlow is deposition software for turning recorded testimony into searchable, designated trial materials. It suits videographers and litigation teams that need transcript-video work in a desktop workflow. The main trade-off is a focused tool with charges tied to sync hours and transcripts.
Overview
DepoFlow links deposition transcripts to video, then carries selected testimony into clips and paper exports. That makes it a practical fit for preparing recorded testimony, not a broad case-management system. Its standalone HTML viewer can also give clients synced transcript and video to review in a browser without installation or internet access.
Video, audio, and transcript text are processed locally; account sync carries job details and billing information instead. Device traffic uses TLS, stored cloud objects use provider-managed encryption at rest, and records are scoped to each firm. Firms requiring current SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certification should look elsewhere: DepoFlow holds neither.
Key features
Sync and review
Local speech recognition aligns transcript words with moments in video, and each completed sync receives a color-coded quality score. The Review app places transcript and video side by side, supports page-line navigation and full-text search, and jumps to the corresponding video moment when a user selects a transcript line. That combination is useful for locating testimony precisely; the quality score also gives users a quick indication of sync quality.
Designations and exports
Users can group page-line ranges into designation sets, add ranges in bulk, and import opposing counsel’s lists in TXT, CSV, XLSX, or DOCX. Exports include a stitched MP4, designation PDF, and page-line exchange list, with targets for TrialDirector, Sanction, Summation, LiveNote/Case Notebook, RealLegal, AMICUS, and OpenDVT. This is a strong workflow for turning selected testimony into trial materials, though the product’s focus remains deposition preparation rather than wider litigation management.
Offline work
After initial installation, desktop users can sync, designate, and render clips without internet access. Job status and billing reconcile when the account reconnects, which is useful where connectivity is unreliable but does not remove the need for an account connection eventually.
Pricing
The free Viewing plan costs nothing and allows litigators and support staff to view and search synced depositions on Mac and Windows. It does not include the paid designation and clip-export unlock.
Videographers pay $7.50, paid once, billed at $7.50/ credit. One credit covers one hour of video time on a sync job; the free account and desktop app are included, credits never expire, and there is no subscription or per-seat license. This suits occasional or variable workloads better than a recurring seat fee, but costs rise with each hour synced.
Litigators and support staff pay $99, paid once, billed at $99/ transcript, for a one-time unlock covering everyone at the firm. It includes designations, stitched MP4, designation PDF, and page-line exchange list. That firm-wide scope avoids per-seat licensing, but teams working across many transcripts should account for repeated unlocks. Custom pricing is available for videographer volume pricing or firm-wide litigation-team plans; custom plans also include priority support and onboarding.
Platforms
DepoFlow supports macOS, Windows, and web browser access. Videographer and Review offerings are for Mac and Windows; the standalone viewer works in a browser. In-person support and transcript coordination are also available.
Who it's for
DepoFlow is best for videographers, court reporters, litigators, attorneys, paralegals, and trial techs who need to sync deposition footage, manage designations, and produce trial-ready exports. Its offline desktop workflow and firm-wide transcript unlock are useful for teams with those specific needs. It is a weaker fit for buyers seeking a general-purpose case-management platform or requiring current SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certification.
Pros and cons
Pros: Local processing and offline desktop work keep core sync, designation, and rendering tasks available without an active connection.
Pros: One transcript unlock covers everyone at the firm, avoiding per-seat charges for designation and export access.
Pros: Exports span common trial software targets and include both video and paper formats.
Cons: Sync charges accrue by video hour and designation/export charges by transcript, so frequent use can mean repeated costs.
Cons: DepoFlow does not currently hold SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certifications.
Alternatives
For other options, see Legal Deposition Software. Choose Remote Counsel when streaming depositions across Android, iOS, Mac, web, or Windows is the priority; its pricing requires at least one connection per event, with no setup fees for transcript-only streams. AgileLaw is another paid option, with a free trial and a Starter host-session plan. eDepoze offers complimentary witness and attending-guest sessions on iOS and web. Filevine is a custom-quote option for matter and document management, with optional deposition packages. DepoDash offers pay-as-you-go and subscription plans, with exact prices not shown. MyVeritext is a complimentary client portal on Android, iOS, and web, though court reporting and other services may cost extra. ExhibitSuite offers a monthly Classic license with one attorney, one support staff member, and one deposition included. Depositions.com offers a free month-long trial that includes its platform and first video.
Verdict
Choose DepoFlow if your work centers on syncing deposition video, organizing testimony designations, and producing trial exports, especially when offline desktop work matters. Its local processing and firm-wide transcript unlock make that focused workflow compelling. Look elsewhere if per-hour and per-transcript charges do not suit your volume, or if current SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certification is a requirement.
Verdict
DepoFlow combines transcript-video sync, designation management, and trial-oriented exports, with offline desktop work after installation. Review the per-credit and per-transcript charges and note that the listed SOC 2 roadmap is not a current certification.
