vTestify is virtual deposition platform that enables court reporting agencies to provide remote deposition services with an easy-to-use, purpose-built tool that simplifies the workflow for your attorney clients.
Using your computer and webcam, the vTestify platform records remote video testimony and streams the video deposition to the cloud, while allowing you to introduce PDF exhibits onto the record. Both audio and video are encrypted, with the video record available immediately upon completion of your deposition.
vTestify's exhibit management and introduction system allows an attorney, paralegal, or legal assistant to privately upload relevant documents and allows the attorney
to choose if and when these documents become exhibits. Exhibits are digitally endorsed with case details and a date/timestamp once they are introduced on the record.
The quality of the video and audio is excellent. Neither technicians nor viewers will be able to tell the difference between a standard video deposition recording and one recorded via the vTestify platform.
Yes. vTestify video and audio recordings can be exported into standard file types that can be imported into most trial presentation software, including Sanction® and TrialDirector®.
We support up to 5 video participants and 5 audio-only participants per recording. You can also invite up to 30 additional observer streams that are not recorded.
The notice requirements to use vTestify are typically referenced in state and federal civil procedure as depositions by remote audiovisual, video conference, or telephonic means.
Before every deposition we recommend that all parties fully test their equipment. Please login to your vTestify account and click on the "Connection Test" button to automatically test your computer, webcam, microphone, and internet connection.
The vast majority of office firewalls allow our remote video technology to run and record unhindered. If you work behind a particularly robust corporate firewall feel free to call or email us.
vTestify has multiple redundancies in place to protect testimony from poor connections. These include:
Lower bandwidth requirements
vTestify uses the latest video technology which requires less bandwidth for HD video than traditional means.
Video backup
Video is first sent to our servers for storage immediately that way, in the event that a party does not see or hear what is said, it is still saved on the record.
Low bandwidth mode:
In the event that a connection cannot support video, vTestify switches to an audio-only mode for that party. This allows for testimony to continue uninterrupted and video is typically still recorded.
