LONG GONE ARE THE DAYS OF THE PEN AND PENCIL IN LEGAL PROCEEDINGS WHEN IT COMES TO THE RECORD. Realtime is a service Appalachian Court Reporting provides in the superior and state courts of the State of Georgia on a daily basis and in the deposition setting when requested. Realtime is a process provided by Appalachian Court Reporting that allows counsel, and in a courtroom setting the judge as well, to view the live testimony on iPads and laptops and computer screens as it is taking place. Gone are the days of the pen and pencil for taking notes when with realtime reporting and viewing it on an iPad or notebook or laptop you can make personal notes within the text coming across the screen, do word searches, make annotations while the proceeding or deposition is actually taking place. Having a hard time hearing? Simply look to your screen to catch every word spoken during the proceeding. In the direct or cross-examination of a witnesses this is a very powerful tool to use whereby their earlier spoken words can be used to examine them on their earlier testimony or to clarify earlier testimony.
