How SmartDepo Works
Upload a transcript. Get a summary in under five minutes. Then question every deposition in the case and trace each answer back to the record.
Three steps, from summary to strategy
The deposition is only the starting point.
01
Upload the transcript
Depositions, hearings, trials, examinations under oath, arbitrations — PDF or TXT files. We handle complex formatting and timestamps.
02
Get the summary
Delivered in under 5 minutes, with hyperlinked page/line citations, reviewed by a legal professional before it reaches you.
03
Analyze the whole case
Ask questions across every transcript, build custom memos, and surface contradictions with each answer cited to the exact page/line.
Every transcript in the case, working together
Every summary you complete joins the case. Ask your own questions, build memos around your issues, and pull what you need straight into the brief you're writing.
Ask Across Case Testimony
Ask what you'd ask an associate who had read everything. Every answer carries a citation you can open and check.
Contradiction Finder
Divergence between two witnesses, or one witness across sessions. Both passages shown, both cited.
Evasive Or Hostile Testimony
Flags hedging, deflection, and non-answers. Often where the cross material is.
Objections Analysis
Objections identified and categorized with citations, for preparing designations.
Custom Memos
Tell it the case type and the issues you're building. The memo organizes around those, not a template.
Key Admission Heat Map
Testimony scored by significance and shown visually, so you know what deserves a close read before you open it.
Exhibit Extraction
Every exhibit cataloged and linked to where it was introduced.
Transcript Viewer
The full transcript beside your work, with synced highlighting and search.
