Hypertext Transcript Formatting Software for Court Reporters and
Attorneys
This program takes Court Reporter Text files and puts them into HTML format. It
works with the output of the eTranscript software, by expanding your capabilities.
All for a one-time charge of only $49.00. We offer a
Free Trial of one court case document which we will email to you, to see how useful it is.
You can choose from 1 to 3 columns:
1. Line number
2. Text of the Transcript
3. Comments and Links
In a courtroom situation, the attorney with the information at his fingertips has the
advantage. You and your opposing attorney may have the same transcript, but the
clarity of the format can make all the difference in someone's life.
The HTMLegal program adds a new major format for your Court Reporter transcript
documents. Court reporters have been able to provide you ordinary ASCII (American
Standard Code for Information Interchange) Text or Word documents. Now, this adds the
power of the Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML) to the court room.
HTML is the format that evolved into the standard for the World Wide Web because of its
power and flexibility in displaying a wide variety of information. You can use this during
the trial, with the transcript available on your laptop computer for fast, efficient
searching and access.

Additional Benefits of using HTMLegal format
- With the pagination, you can more easily tell where you are in the transcript.
The screen looks like the paper copy.
- You can find information more quickly during a trial, by having this document on your
laptop
- You will be less likely to forget an important point to bring up during the trial
- Saves hours of time in putting into columns manually yourself, even with cutting and
pasting.
Every line number would have to be taken into another column, and a comments column
created line by line!
- You can have the Transcript in HTMLegal format for fast access during the trial on your
Laptop or Palm computer.
No more fumbling around papers and notes for specific sections.
- If large computer monitors or projector screens are allowed in the court room, you can
clearly display certain sections to the jury or judge.
- Cost Effective: All for a one-time charge of only $49.00 - pays for
itself on the first transcript, as compared to the time a secretary would need to reformat
the line numbers and text of hundreds of pages into separate columns. Few attorneys
used HTML because it was so tedious to convert. Now it is a snap!
