DepoDash vs eLitigateZE

DepoDash is a cloud-based court reporting and transcription platform for court reporters, agencies, law firms, and courthouses. It supports remote, in-person, and hybrid proceedings with real-time transcripts, and can turn uploaded audio and video into formatted, timestamped transcripts for editing and proofreading. Tools include speaker identification, transcript search, private annotations, live readbacks, exhibit sharing, and rough drafts. Its workflow covers editing, proofreading, certification, and secure storage. DepoDash says video, audio, and exhibits are protected by 256-bit encryption in transit and at rest, with role-based access controls; it endeavors to comply with applicable data protection regulations, including HIPAA and GDPR where relevant. Access is available through a web browser without installing software, and supported platforms are web, Windows, and macOS. Pricing is available by request; subscription options are month-to-month or a 12-month commitment, with exact prices disclosed at purchase. BlueLedge students are offered four free hours before pay-as-you-go pricing.

eLitigateZE is a cloud platform for remote and hybrid depositions, integrated with Zoom as an embedded Zoom App. Case teams can upload, search, preview, stamp, annotate, present, and reuse exhibits across linked depositions. During proceedings, Testimony Tools provide testimony streaming, playback, bookmarks, issues, and notes; the plan says these tools require an Esquire digital reporter. Afterward, searchable ASR testimony can synchronize with audio and video when video is ordered and a videographer is present. Users can download a formatted PDF rough transcript in speaker-designated or Q&A format and create MP4 testimony clips synchronized with written testimony. A deposition supports up to 500 participants. Current Chrome, Safari, and Edge browsers are supported, but Firefox is not. Mobile access uses Zoom on Android and iOS, Safari on iOS/iPad, or Chrome on Android. Media traffic uses AES-256 end-to-end encryption, web traffic uses TLS 1.2, and case files are encrypted on AWS. Audio and video files require screen sharing instead of direct in-app presentation. Pricing is available on request.
