Compare DepoDirect vs. Stenobox

Gone are the days of sending emails to obtain links or share exhibits; now, you can receive your Zoom link instantly upon scheduling. You also have the convenience of uploading exhibits either before or during the deposition, making them immediately accessible to the reporter. All interactions and files are securely handled through our TLS-encrypted platform, guaranteeing a level of security that emailing documents simply cannot provide. Additionally, you can say goodbye to unexpected charges related to handling, appearances, or setup, as our pricing is straightforward and up to 50% lower than traditional providers. The single hourly fee for the deposition encompasses witness video, picture-in-picture video, and an aligned rough transcript, making it cost-effective and comprehensive. DepoDirect accommodates all types of depositions, whether they are fully remote, hybrid, or in-person, ensuring flexibility for all your needs. Our unique software streamlines the management and officiation of each proceeding, allowing us to deliver top-notch service and premium features at every deposition.

Stenobox serves as an alternative to MaxScribe for digital and electronic court reporters along with legal transcriptionists. By uploading audio from court proceedings or depositions, Stenobox generates a formatted draft of the transcript that includes verbatim dialogue, speaker identification, and proper court date and case formatting, along with headers for examinations and features for interpreter management. Instead of starting from a blank page, users receive a nearly complete draft which they can review against the original audio before certifying it as the official record. The platform primarily focuses on producing the transcripts while allowing users to verify their accuracy without the need to retype everything. Additionally, there is a built-in review mechanism that highlights areas that may require attention, and clicking on any word directly plays back that moment from the recording for easy cross-referencing. Plans run $129 a month for 25 audio hours, $199 for 50, or $349 for 100, with $25 buying 5 more hours — no per-minute charges — and a 7-day trial is offered for new users to explore the service. The subscription operates on a month-to-month basis, allowing users to cancel whenever they wish. Uploaded audio is automatically deleted after 30 days unless users opt to retain it until they manually delete it, and the recordings are never repurposed for creating any other products. This ensures the privacy and integrity of the user's files throughout their experience with Stenobox.
