I am Looking for a product that is comparable to Etranscript or RealLegal. Is there anything out there new or used?

[Charles P. Carmody]

Hi,

 

 

is anyone aware if even if such an animal exists.

 

I have an older version of RealLegal/Etranscript which I paid a lot of money for and the company will no longer support.

 

I do not know the exact price, but I had someone from my office call and they wanted something along the lines of $175/mo.   We did not get any follow-up info in the mail, although we were told that we would receive it.

 

I would be interested in purchasing an older version or if there's a competing version that I'm not aware of, please, if someone wants to be a good samaritan and enlighten me, you would make a new friend.

 

Thank you so much.

Bust!  Any other recommendations?

Cindy, try Alan at Otec.  I think it's $10.

Hi.  My name is Cindy.  I just joined this site and ran into your posting.  I would highly recommend MinuScript.  It is a wonderful program.  It offers everything that E-tran and the like offer.  You can send files in a pdf format to your clients, as well as ASCII format, Summation, etc.  You also have the ability to attach and link exhibits to your electronic files.  They now offer a repository, as well.  It is fairly priced and they have a great technical support system.   Their website is www.minuscript.com

 

Hope this was helpful!

Another reporter recommended this product/website (I think he posted on this forum; can't find him to thank him.)  It looks amazing.  I'm going to call them tomorrow.  It seems to do everything that Etran does, including linking transcript with video and scanned exhibits.  Check it out.

Hi, Dennis.

Not sure, but that might have been me that recommended Clarity Legal -- if not here, then on some other forum.  I like the fact that it runs under Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.

Feel free to report back here on your experience!

[Dennis Zambataro]

Glen, have you tried Clarity yet?  It looks pretty comprehensive and the price is realistic. It looks like it does everything that Etran can do but at a fraction of the price.

Hi, Dennis.

Alas, I'm still a student, so I have only played with the demo.  I did hear nice things about it from the folks at The Mac Lawyer, though ....

[Cindy Boedy]

But does it work with Summation?  That's why a lot of attorneys I know require the Etrans.

[Dennis Zambataro]

Do not contact OTEC for an etranscript.
