LiveNote Stream™ Transmits Live Video, Voice and Text via the Web
Remote Litigators, Experts and Clients Can Participate More Effectively than Ever Before
(NEW YORK) February 14, 2006 - At the 25th Annual LegalTech Show, LiveNote, Inc. unveiled its new technology for streaming live deposition media to any remote participant with a broadband Internet connection. The next generation of LiveNote’s longstanding Internet Realtime Service™, LiveNote Stream™ is the most robust application to broadcast video, voice, transcript text, and instant messages among legal teams. Developed in response to the industry’s growing adoption of technology as a means to both reduce discovery costs and gain a strategic advantage, LiveNote Stream enables all authorized parties to follow important litigation events from any location.
Offered in partnership with Courtroom Connect®, LiveNote Stream is available for use with any deposition, conference, or court proceeding worldwide. Litigation teams simply request LiveNote Stream when they schedule depositions with their court reporting agency.
"I am very excited and extremely supportive of the new partnership between LiveNote and Courtroom Connect,” said Joe Spinozzi, Senior Vice President of LegaLink. “The ability to now remotely view live depositions with full audio and video, coupled with LiveNote's powerful digestion, puts litigators using this tool at the tip of the spear. Access to information is power; instant access is the winning edge.”
As a strategic resource, LiveNote Stream gives its users the upper hand by enabling on-site attorneys to receive valuable input from both on-site and remote attendees – experts, paralegals, second chair attorneys – and immediately modify their line of questioning. LiveNote Stream lowers overall deposition costs by substantially reducing the need for travel, enabling legal teams to instantly gain consensus on strategy, and eliminating the need to debrief supporting team members on what transpired.
Mark Reichenbach, Director of Litigation Support at Milberg Weiss Bershad & Schulman said, “Here at Milberg Weiss we find streaming the video of a live deposition is a valuable tool for key partners and associates in preparation for further depositions and their prosecution of the case. Every morning before an important deposition we set up the streaming for partners so they can be ready to view as soon as they arrive. The streaming interface allows the litigation team to scroll back to review any portion that was missed or just to re-read text from earlier in the day. Courtroom Connect and LiveNote have partnered to provide a wonderful tool with wonderful service.”
Participants require only a broadband Internet connection and Microsoft Internet Explorer® to attend, although additional features and benefits are available to users of other LiveNote technologies. LiveNote SR™ desktop software users are able to mark and annotate the realtime transcript text as it is received. After the conclusion of the broadcast, the transcript and synchronized video can be uploaded to RealLegal iBinder™ for on-demand web access, or imported into LiveNote SR or RealLegal Binder™ for further review and summarizing. RealLegal iBinder and RealLegal Binder are LiveNote brands.
Spinozzi continues, “Every case has significantly different needs; at LegaLink we view our approach to the market as solution providers. When adding this to our arsenal we feel we can craft the best solution to suit our clients’ needs.”
LiveNote and Courtroom Connect staff members configure the broadcast before the start of the deposition and provide technical support during the event. LiveNote Stream is an Engate Compliant™ service, yet requires no realtime tokens.
