What does condensed mean?

A condensed transcript or deposition is a transcript that shows 4 pages of the original transcript on a single page of the document.

In other words, when you print the transcript, each printed page contains 4 pages of the original document in reduced size.

What does Scanned means?

A Scanned transcript or deposition is a PDF file containing "pictures" or "images" of the original document. Usually, the document was printed then scanned into a PDF file.

Therefore it is impossible to search for an expression (a word) in this document because the computers see it as a picture not as electronic text.

Programs called OCR (Optical Character Recognition) are able to translate a picture of a text into its equivalent electronic text. The recognition rate never reaches 100% on large document. Depo© does not support OCR documents.

A segment groups a question, the corresponding answer and the corresponding line and page references.

Segments are the core of Depo's logic. By identifying one segment from another Depo© renders a transcript easier to manipulate.

You can select a whole segment in just a mouse click.Click on the grey square on segments left side. Not clicking on the grey square disregards the segment and will not be included in your finished product.

You can group segments by topics in just one click. Click on the grey square, and the segment is assigned to the current group.
