MyDepo vs Remote Counsel

MyDepo is a web application for organizing deposition proceedings and their associated records. It covers deposition calendars, transcripts, exhibits, video, and other documents. Users can schedule, review, and change current or future proceedings online. A dashboard links the user’s calendar, jobs, cases, job details, and case jobs. Calendar views can be filtered by case, deponent, or job number and shown by week or month. Completed transcripts and exhibits can be viewed or downloaded in major formats. Colleagues in the same firm can receive shared access to cases, jobs, calendars, and invoices. Optional email notifications can flag scheduling changes and transcript uploads. Invoice searches support case, client matter number, or job number, with totals by case or client matter. The vendor says desktop and mobile devices can be used for scheduling, calendar management, and transcript downloads. Remote depositions, in-person support, exhibit management, and transcript coordination are listed. The service is free, but an account must be requested from the vendor.

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.

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.
