• Binder Is Well Bred. Jack-of-all-trades products often cripple productivity with their myriad of complicated features and add-ons. Conversely, RealLegal Binder masters transcript and exhibit management and allows you to seamlessly integrate with other best-of-breed litigation support and trial presentation solutions.
• Binder Is High Powered. RealLegal Binder is powered by the latest in litigation technology. Optical Character Recognition (OCR), Web collaboration, synchronized video, and bundled imports of transcripts, documents and video are among its cutting-edge assets.
• Binder Is Pure and Simple. RealLegal Binder does not require intense training to put it to work. Its interactive control panes, modeled after the familiar Microsoft Outlook interface, keep active discovery, reports, annotations and issues within easy access.

• Annotating – Users simply ‘swipe’ text to launch the Annotation Dialog Box, then apply issue codes, written notes, chronology, and more. The transcript margin displays an annotation icon to indicate that a written note is present.
• Custom Issue Codes – The broad color palette allows users to mix custom colors for their issue codes. The appropriate issue code can be chosen directly from the toolbar, the Issues Pane, or the Annotation Dialog Box.
• Unparalleled Searching - Users choose to perform full-text searches on all transcripts, on the current transcript, or on groups of transcripts. Boolean and proximity operators help pinpoint key testimony. The search functions are accessible from multiple locations - including the patented Hyperlinked Global Word Index. Previous searches are automatically stored for future reference. Ask about Optical Character Recognition (OCR).
• Robust and Custom Reports – Search results are automatically returned within a convenient report format. The complete properties and criteria of each report can be saved within the Project Tree for later use. The powerful report tool is perfect for transcript digesting.
• Simplified Browsing – The automatically generated transcript Table of Contents, bi-directional sort functions, and the patented, Hyperlinked Global Word Index accelerate and simplify transcript navigation. Forward and Back arrow buttons on the main toolbars help users easily move through the project's contents.
• Transcript-to-Video Synchronization - Not only can audio, image and text exhibits be attached to RealLegal Binder projects, but users can also import XML documents containing video tags to view video playback that is synchronized to a transcript. This allows users to view a video deposition while annotating the corresponding transcript.
• Project Synchronization – Valuable notes are retained when working on-the-go! Synchronization of transcript notes and annotations between laptop and network occurs automatically. RealLegal Binder also offers network capability for transcript collaboration within a firm.
• E-mail Convenience -- Transcripts (with annotations and issue codes optionally included) and reports (in HTML or XML) can be e-mailed directly from the RealLegal Binder interface. The received materials can be imported directly into another copy of RealLegal Binder or viewed with just the recipient's Internet browser.
• Printing - RealLegal Binder provides options for full or condensed printing on transcripts, annotations, search results, reports and the Hyperlinked Global Word Index.
• Q&A Pairing – The number of question and answer pairs to be returned in search results and reports can be specified. Users can also choose to apply bold settings.
• Batch Imports - The multi-transcript import function saves time and eliminates hassles. Transcripts can also be seamlessly exported to other litigation support software.
• Reliable Foundation - The RealLegal Binder technology framework is based on the popular RealLegal E-Transcript format that is transforming the industry.

• Annotate Imaged Documents - Issue coding and annotating in RealLegal Binder extends to the documents in a Binder project, making documents and transcripts equally manageable from a single interface. All annotations made for transcripts and documents can be quickly retrieved from the All Annotations item on the project tree or displayed within a report.
• Search and Link - RealLegal Binder dramatically accelerates the process of linking documents to specific reference points in the transcripts. It takes just seconds to simultaneously establish hyperlinks to documents from every mention in the transcript. If preferred, court reporters can provide RealLegal Publisher Bundles with the hyperlinks already established at each exhibit introduction point.
• OCR and Searching Documents - With RealLegal Binder, keyword and Boolean searches are no longer limited to transcripts, but instead, can be conducted with all OCR'd documents in the project. The scope of a search can be limited to those items placed into a Search Group. Search results display excerpts from transcripts and documents/exhibits containing the specified word. The RealLegal Binder OCR Engine converts scanned documents into fully searchable content.
• Improved Video Playback - RealLegal Binder offers enhanced viewing of video depositions that have been synchronized to the transcript. As the video plays, the corresponding portion of transcript text is highlighted on screen so that Binder users can follow along and annotate the transcript on-the-fly.
• Import Imaged Documents or Exhibits – Scanned images (.JPG, .TIF, .GIF, .BMP, .PDF) can be imported into RealLegal Binder projects or automatically loaded via RealLegal Publisher™ Bundles provided by court reporting agencies. All exhibits are stored within a designated folder on the main Project Tree for easy access and bi-directional sorting.
• Hyperlink to Exhibits – Bi-directional hyperlinks can be established between pertinent excerpts in the transcript and corresponding digital exhibits. If preferred, court reporters can provide RealLegal Publisher Bundles with the hyperlinks already established at each exhibit introduction point or any other specified alias.
• Exhibit Viewing – The embedded Real Image Viewer™ allows RealLegal Binder users to review digital exhibits side-by-side with pertinent testimony. They can select an exhibit from the Project Tree or access them via a transcript hyperlink, which automatically launches the Real Exhibit Viewer. The viewer contains functionality to zoom, flip orientation, modify properties, print, and advance through multi-page exhibits.

• Reconnect -- Realtime transcripts can also be disconnected and reconnected with RealLegal Binder 6.0.
• Easy Connections - Realtime proceedings are simplified with RealLegal Binder's single universal connection.
• Annotation Management -- As always, users QuickMark or AutoMark during the session. With the version 6.0 enhancements, all realtime annotations are conveniently stored in the Transcript Details Pane.
• Synchronize -- Final transcripts imported into RealLegal Binder are synchronized with the annotations made in Realtime Mode so that no work is lost.
