Last year, the Readback Team took a trip down to Nashville to introduce Active Reporting at Clio Cloud Con 2022. But we figured we could do more than simply tell the world about this game-changing service. Why not show it off to as many people as possible? Mix in an impromptu deposition with your favorite zoo animal, and voila . . . Clio Cloud Con had a front row seat to the future of deposition reporting.
Well-dressed elephants aside, the experience of Active Reporting was the real star of the show. So let’s take a moment to appreciate what Readback’s Active Reporting has to offer.
The AI
Readback’s parent company, InfraWare, has an established track record in speech-to-text technology and four US patents. Having acquired a court reporting company with over six decades and 67,000 depositions worth of experience in 2017, InfraWare prides itself on being uniquely situated to bring deposition reporting into a new era. Through state-of-the-art technology, Readback is able to capture the record as it is being spoken.
The Guardian
Make no mistake about it, although our AI is the driving force behind Active Reporting, Readback understands the importance of having an actual live person steer the ship. That’s where the Guardian comes in. The Guardian conducts the proceeding and ensures that the process runs smoothly. If the parties are speaking over each other, if counsel wants to show an exhibit, if there’s a need to read back part of the testimony, the Guardian adds that interactive, human touch most expect when they sit for a deposition.
The Viewer with Near-Time Text
Active Reporting is a remote service, meaning parties can access the proceeding anywhere through videoconference. But more than the audiovisual dynamic, Active Reporting offers the Viewer to monitor the transcript in near time, meaning you’ll see the testimony unfold on the Viewer within seconds of being spoken. Consider that benefit. Did you miss a response to a question? Want to retrace your steps? Is there a dispute over something said by the witness? No problem. The Viewer is a powerful tool to take control over your deposition experience.
The Multi-Intelligence Service Team (“MIST”)
We get it. AI alone is not enough to ensure top-notch accuracy of the record. But what if we told you there was a team of human transcriptionists with a live feed of the deposition simultaneously checking the record for accuracy as it’s playing out? Well, that’s exactly what you get with Active Reporting. The MIST pairs technology with a team of human transcriptionists to add yet another personal touch to our powerful AI-driven deposition experience. In less than a minute, the testimony has not only been captured by AI, but has also been screened by levels of human transcriptionists ensuring a truthful and accurate record. As described by InfraWare’s Chief Operating Officer Bob McClelland, Readback’s MIST approach to deposition reporting reflects a belief that forward-thinking attorneys shouldn’t have to choose between accuracy and expediency:
“Such accuracy is particularly crucial in federal cases and intrastate appeals. Given the complexity and the high stakes, you can’t afford any errors or delays. With Active Reporting, you can rest assured that the record will be accurate and readily available, facilitating a smoother litigation process and potentially improving outcomes for your clients.”

Active Reporting offers certified transcripts in one day, rough drafts in one hour, and near-time text in seconds during the proceeding all at low, flat rates.
