Overview: Transcripts

Eclipse SE offers users a dynamic platform for working with transcripts. Cases may include transcripts from such events as depositions, hearings, or court proceedings. If you have the appropriate privileges, you can import, view, and/ or annotate transcripts in Eclipse SE Administration and Eclipse SE Desktop. For more information on working with transcripts, see Review a Transcript.

Annotation Basics

Eclipse SE Desktop gives users the ability to view, search through, and annotate transcripts with ease. Furthermore, users can distinguish transcripts by type, link review documents and external files to specific locations in their transcripts, add customized notes, and run reports. For a brief overview of some of Eclipse SE's annotation tools, read through the following table:
