Where Legacy Meets Innovation in Court Reporting
Roots in Tradition

Long before the age of the cloud and AI-transcription, accuracy in court reporting depended on deep technical mastery, decades of practice, and tools built to withstand the weight of justice. That tradition is carried on today through institutions like ProCAT, whose software, writing tools, and transcription suites have been foundational in the court reporting world. ProCAT has developed over 36+ years of R&D, producing tools used by stenographers, voice writers, closed-captioners, and transcriptionists. Its platforms (such as ProCAT Winner) blend traditional CAT methods, voice recognition engines, real-time formatting, indexing, and editing features that have anchored the industry standards.

Alongside that, CourtAudio has shaped what “digital recording” means in the courtroom and beyond. With multi-channel recording, integrated speech-to-text, synchronized audio/video, and tools like AudioTrax, CourtAudio has made it possible to capture and store court proceedings with clarity, integrity, and a full suite of transcription/enhancement tools.

The Moment of Convergence & DepoDash’s Founding Vision

In recent years, three realities have become undeniable:

Demand across legal proceedings—for depositions, remote/hybrid hearings, and courtroom work—is growing rapidly.
Clients, attorneys, courts expect not just accuracy, but speed, flexibility, transparency, and access (especially digitally).
Technology now allows modes of capture, collaboration, transcription, and workflow that weren’t feasible decades ago—but only if built to respect the standards and ethics of the court reporting profession.

DepoDash was born out of seeing these trends and believing that the future isn’t “one method to rule them all,” but rather a system that can embrace diverse methods (steno, voice, recording) while always anchoring on competence, accuracy, and integrity. It’s purpose-built to serve court reporters, attorneys, and courts in modern workflows—especially hybrid and remote settings—without sacrificing the rigorous standards the profession demands.

What We’ve Built: The Tools, the Mission
DepoDash Platform – A cloud-native court reporting and transcription environment that gives real-time transcript access, secure audio/video/exhibit sharing, annotation tools, encrypted communications, and a web interface that’s zero-footprint and device-agnostic. No heavy downloads, no steep learning curves, but full support for legal workflows.
AI-Assisted Transcription + Human Oversight – DepoDash supports uploading recorded audio, triggers modern speech-recognition and diarization engines for draft transcripts, and leaves the court reporter firmly in the driver’s seat for editing, certifying, and ensuring accuracy.
Integration with Established Tools & Standards – For decades, tools like ProCAT have established what court reporting and transcription features must include: synced audio/video, robust editing and proofing tools, playback, indexing, form-filling, flexible transcript export. DepoDash builds on these standards, ensuring the same rigor but in a more accessible, scalable, and modern package. CourtAudio’s history of clarity in recording (AudioTrax, etc.) underpins DepoDash’s respect for the audio record as a bedrock of truth.
Why It Matters & What Drives Us
Preserving the Integrity of the Record: Every word, every nuance, every objection matters. We build for that seriousness.
Enabling Access & Flexibility: Remote depositions, hybrid hearings, socially-distanced or multi-venue proceedings—these are no longer “edge cases.” They’re mainstream. We want every legal actor to have reliable tools regardless of geography or method of participation.
Supporting the Officer of the Court: Not replacing, but empowering. The trained professionals who carry the responsibility of the official record deserve tools that honor their expertise, lighten unnecessary burdens, and allow them to focus on accuracy and ethical responsibility—not fighting software or logistics.
Our Impact & Forward Look

Since our founding, DepoDash has become synonymous with delivering accurate, secure, and efficient court reporting across platforms. We’ve partnered with legal teams, court reporters, voice writers, and institutions to navigate the changing landscape of litigation, arbitration, and deposition.

Looking forward, our roadmap includes:

Even greater real-time features: speaker identification, better diarization, smarter pre-session setups.
Expanding integrations: secure exhibit management, more flexible transcript formatting and export options, stronger localization (legal terminology, regional accents).
Continual improvement of AI-assisted workflows: reducing turnaround without sacrificing the human verification essential in legal settings.
Our Promise to You

If you engage with DepoDash, you can expect:

A platform built with the legitimacy of ProCAT’s legacy and CourtAudio’s recording fidelity in mind.
Tools that respect all methods: steno, voice, digital audio—whatever combination you need.
