Litigation accepts TXT, PTF, PTX, PDF, LEF, CMS, or ZIP formats for your transcript files.
A description of each is outlined below:
| Extension | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| TXT | Text Files are “raw” transcripts—text-only files and are considered universal. | |
| PTF | Portable Transcript Files are created with RealLegal E-Transcript software. Unlike EXE files, PTF files are not blocked by firewalls or virus protection software. They are also smaller than EXE files, so a preferred file format for many. | |
| PTX | E-Transcript files have their proprietary .ptx file type. PTX files are small and easy to email and contain the transcript in full-sized and condensed forms as well as the word index. | |
|
Portable Document Format is a file format which can be viewed on any type of computer. Note: We make a best-effort attempt at processing PDF deposition transcripts, but not all PDFs will be correctly converted. If possible, we suggest using one of the other supported transcript file types. |
||
| LEF | LiveNote evidence format enables transcripts with related evidence seamlessly integrated and ready for import (e.g., exhibits already scanned and hyperlinked in the text). | |
| CMS | A synchronized transcript in the native TrialDirector .cms format. Can be paired with video files for synchronized viewing. | |
| ZIP | Multiple transcript files can be compressed into a .zip file and imported at the same time. Nextpoint will unpack and process all included files. |
