Colibri Legal provides real-time rough transcript drafts for depositions and court reporting. It can record and transcribe audio and video from remote proceedings, with or without a court reporter. Professional legal transcriptionists can prepare final transcripts with a stated 24-hour turnaround; those transcripts are billed only when requested. Colibri says it can arrange a Certified Deposition Reporter, with appearance fees applying only when a reporter is brought in. Its searchable transcript library finds material by participants, case names and numbers, or spoken words, and synchronizes transcript text with audio and video playback. During depositions, users can mark moments, add notes, and preload questions for display and check-off as they are asked. The Zoom app displays live transcription, identifies speakers, and can stream captions to colleagues outside the proceeding. Colibri also suggests the service for hearings, meet-and-confers, mock trials, and internal meetings. Features are cloud-based and require nothing to install. Pricing is on request; final transcripts and reporter appearances are optional charges.
