The right screens for every person in the court
Each person has a role that sets what they may do and which courtrooms they reach. The top bar shows only the pages they may use. Nothing they can’t use is shown or greyed out.
The people who take the record and make it accessible

No courtroom access. Doesn’t listen to recordings.
One person can cover what used to take several
Scheduling, recording, storage, transcript orders and billing all live in one system, so a smaller office can do more.
- Also does: an administrator gives one person more than one role, for example Scheduler, Production and Billing.
- One sign-in, with the screens for every one of their roles and nothing else.
- Much of the routine work is automated: calendar imports, ranking the best reporter, the live rough draft, due dates and overdue flags, deposits and pay runs.
- The Assistant knows all of their roles, and answers from each of their roles’ manuals.
Their permissions are the three roles combined, and each part still follows its role.
Administration and court IT
Controls the system
- People, roles and each person’s rights; courtrooms; settings
- Enroll and manage the courtroom PCs
- Reporters: who they work for, their certificates and CAT systems
- The audit log, backups and problem reports
Reaches everything.
Installs and looks after it
- Install the hub and courtroom PCs on Windows or macOS
- Certificates, the court’s sign-in service and mail server
- Courtroom audio and cameras, the speech-to-text engine
- Nightly backups and health checks
Each person has a role that comes with its usual rights, and can be given other roles too. An administrator can still adjust one person’s rights. Courtroom access is one choice per person: every courtroom, the courtrooms chosen for them, or through their Schedule assignments. Every role has its own user manual.
