Depositions.com vs Remote Counsel

Depositions.com is a web-based service for storing, sharing, and streaming files and video for legal matters and claims. It is designed for lawyers, law firms, insurers, and others in the legal industry. Accounts can contain depositions, clips, transcripts, exhibits, reports, photos, audio, and other files. Synchronized transcripts support searching video text and displaying captions during playback, and users can make clips without an outside editor. Videos and clips can be downloaded to supported mobile devices for playback without data or Wi-Fi. Expiring links provide a way to share content with people outside a firm. The product page states that the service uses 256-bit encryption, is HIPAA compliant, and is password-protected; its FAQ says stored content is on HIPAA-compliant cloud servers and accessible to authorized users and people they share it with. The free trial lasts one month and includes the first video, streaming, team collaboration, clip editing, and uploads. Business and Enterprise pricing is available by contacting the company. The service runs on web, iOS, and Android.

Remote Counsel provides software, services and support for court reporting firms managing depositions and other legal proceedings. Participants can join by video or audio, follow streaming video and text, annotate and chat privately or in groups. Remote Realtime lets viewers search and mark up streamed text in a browser, while exhibits can be shared and annotated without uploading them. Users can organize multiple depositions for a case in one place, monitor reporter connections and review logs of connected participants. Reporters can stream from CAT software; Case Catalyst setup and CAT Shuttle for other applications are listed. Clients can view streams in a browser without downloading software. Events can be scheduled independently or with concierge assistance, and White Glove support provides an operator for technical needs, breakout rooms, text streaming and exhibits. Training is offered live online, on demand or in person. The company says it has served court reporters since 1996. Pricing is available on request; the FAQ directs customers to contact staff for current per-connection pricing.
