E-mail your transcript,
in ASCII or plain-text format, to transcripts@optidep.com. A trained specialist will run it through an in-house version of our software. Out comes a digest, with the highlighted full text below a footnote line. You receive an approval version. If you decide to order the digest, pay the specialist and receive the actual digest.

You can also download the free version of our software. Watch your transcript on the screen, at one second per page. In electronic form, you get a condensed transcript, a highlighted transcript and an index -- plus a transcript that is masked as to proper names and the like, for sending to us instead of the original. When you receive the digest, use the software again to unmask it.

DOWNLOAD

The downloaded version of the OptiDep software is free.  It is a permanent resource, and not a mere trial edition.

The software operates upon an electronic transcript of a deposition or trial, in plain text (ASCII or ANSI) format.  This electronic transcript is obtained from your reporter or from opposing counsel ― by e-mail, or on CD or diskette.

Watch on the screen.  The software yields condensed, highlighted and masked transcripts, plus an index.

With no obligation, send us the masked transcript.  We assign the transcript to a transcript specialist, who will run it through an in-house version of the software.

Out comes a digest.  The digest includes words that connect the highlighted words.  It resembles an affidavit.  We send you this digest to replace the highlighted transcript that you already have.

First, you receive the digest blanked as to masks.  If you approve, pay the specialist, and you receive the complete digest.  Use the software that you downloaded to unmask it.

{Q} Why is it free? {A} Because we want you to keep us in mind.
{Q} How do I unmask it? {A} Use the software again.
