Real Time Reporting

Real-time reporting is a service that only professionally-trained stenotype court reporters can provide. Great Plains Reporting will assign only the most experienced and skilled reporters for your case and provide you with the cable hookup. We can provide web-streaming of the transcript or connect to your laptop by using a serial port connection.

With interactive real-time, your computer, laptop or tablet can receive the text output from the court reporter’s stenography machine while testimony is ongoing. You can navigate through the unedited text via a series of easily learned commands that mark and save text, insert notes and issue codes, perform searches of text, and more. Once the deposition is concluded, all text and annotations can be saved for later use. With streaming real-time, you can virtually attend a deposition that is taking place anywhere in the world. The deponent’s testimony will appear in writing on your screen as he speaks. We can simultaneously provide a video stream of the deposition.

Upon request, we’ll provide you with an “uncertified” rough transcript, available on CD or via e-mail download. Of course, an uncertified rough transcript is no replacement for the official certified transcript, but sometimes you need the convenience and speed that a “serviceable” uncertified transcript provides. Deaf or hearing-impaired individuals are instantly involved in a proceeding. In multi-day hearings, review today’s transcript in preparation for tomorrow’s proceedings. Correct misheard words immediately, before they are entered into the official transcript. It is also more efficient to use real-time if an interpreter is being used for the deposition. As always, we will provide the most highly skilled court reporters in the industry to make your real-time experience a positive one. Let one of our highly skilled Omaha court reporters provide realtime at your next deposition.
