Scrolling Deposition Text

All trial presentation software has the ability to display the transcript testimony while the video deposition is playing.  The text “scrolls” in a synchronized fashion with the spoken word on a line-by-line basis.  This feature can be turned on or off depending on the preference of the litigators or the judge.  There are many options available for scrolling text.  The trial presentation consultant can review these with the trial team to determine which option works best for the team.  Scrolling text is ideal for playing back a video deposition where the witness has a strong accent or is difficult to understand.  In situations where the demeanor of the witness is as impactful as the testimony, the trial team may opt to turn off the scrolling text to retain focus on the witness.

Common scrolling text options:

• Text on/off option
• Font size
• Page/line on/off
• Highlighting of lines of text
• Number of lines of text
• Color of text/highlighting
• Background color of scrolling text window
• Position of scrolling text
