For deponents and the lawyers who prepare them
Your errata sheet, built from the audio.
You asked to read and sign. Upload the transcript and the recording; we listen for ourselves, show you every place the transcript disagrees with what was said, each with its page and line and a play button, and build the errata sheet from the rows you pick.
Free account and free summary. The finished sheet is a one-time $12.
Rows the way you will see them

Real disagreements from our published benchmark of a purchased transcript of Supreme Court argument No. 25-197, public record, so anyone can check.the transcriptwhat the audio says
Upload the transcript and the audio
The transcript exactly as the reporter delivered it (PDF, DOCX, or TXT) and the recording of the deposition.
We listen for ourselves
The audio goes through our multi-engine transcription, and the reporter's transcript is aligned against ours word by word. Where our own engines are unsure, the spot is left out rather than charged.
You pick, we build the sheet
Every disagreement plays, with its page and line. Tick the ones that belong on the sheet, say what the line should read, and download the errata sheet as PDF or DOCX. The summary is free; the sheet is a one-time $12.
What an errata sheet is
- The read-and-sign window
- After a deposition, the witness can review the transcript and note corrections on an errata sheet. Under Federal Rule 30(e) that window is 30 days from the reporter's notice that the transcript is ready; state rules set their own.
- Page, line, reads, should read, reason
- Each correction cites the page and line, quotes what the transcript reads there, says what it should read, and gives a reason. Misspelled names, misheard words, and dropped words are the ordinary reasons; the audio is the referee for all three.
- What happens to the sheet
- The signed sheet goes back to the court reporter, who attaches it to the original transcript and sends copies to counsel. The transcript itself is never rewritten; the sheet travels with it.
Questions
What does it cost?
Creating an account, uploading, and reading the summary with a few sample rows is free. Unlocking every disagreement and the sheet builder is a one-time $12 per transcript. No subscription.
What formats come out?
A PDF and a DOCX of the errata sheet: page, line, what the transcript reads, what it should read, and the reason, above the deponent's certification and signature lines. Edit the DOCX freely.
Who signs it?
The deponent. The sheet is the statement of changes FRCP 30(e) describes; sign it, and return it to the court reporter the way the reporter's notice explains. Your lawyer should look at it first.
Does this work for state court depositions?
The sheet's shape (page, line, reads, should read, reason) is the same almost everywhere. Deadlines and the exact form vary by jurisdiction and by stipulation, so check the reporter's notice and your rules.
What happens to my files?
They stay on your account until you delete them, are used only to build your report and sheet, and never train anyone's models. The full policy is on the privacy page.
We are a software company, not a law firm. The sheet is a draft built from what the recording says and the rows you chose; you and your lawyer decide what to submit. Deadlines and forms vary by court and by stipulation, so read the reporter's notice. Nothing here is a verdict on the reporter: every row is a disagreement you can play, and where our own engines were unsure we say nothing at all.
