2. Prepare Your Files
Before you begin, there are some very important details to note:
- PDF or TXT files only. Scanned PDF files are not compatible
- Full-length transcripts only (no condensed)
-
No exhibits or attachments
- Complaints are also not currently supported
-
The transcript should look like this example
- Page numbers need to be present and visible
- Line numbers need to be included
- Each deposition needs to be represented in a Q/A format, with Qs & As visible on the left
-
If the transcript has more than one witness:
- They must be sequential with Q/A blocks that focus on one witness at a time
- We cannot support multiple witnesses being deposed in the same Q/A block simultaneously
- A transcript with more than one witness MUST include an index
3. Begin Uploading Your Files
Upload your transcripts by either dragging and dropping them into this box on your SmartDepo dashboard or by using the "click to browse files" link.
*Please note that complaints are not currently supported.
After your file(s) are uploaded, we will begin assessing them to double-check compatibility with our workflow and to evaluate the total cost. Once we have confirmed your files are compatible, you will see details like Transcript, Deponent Name, and Page Count below the upload box. The price total will be visible at the bottom right corner.
4. Submit Your Order
If this is your first order, click the "GET FREE SUMMARY" button at the bottom center of the page to push your transcript into the queue.
If you're a returning customer, click the "AUTHORIZE PAYMENT TO SUMMARIZE" button. Once payment is confirmed, your order will be submitted.
5. Download Your Summary and Memo
Most files are processed within 20 minutes. You may have to refresh the dashboard page occasionally for the status to update. Once your files are ready, you can download your AI-generated Summary or an AI-generated Memo.
