Realtime. By bringing a laptop computer to the job site:

1. Attorneys may read the testimony instantaneously.
2. Browse back and forth.
3. Allow interpreters to read the testimony and thus do a better job interpreting.
4. Allow the hearing-impaired to read the testimony.
5. Allow the testimony to be shown on a large screen or multiple smaller screens so that all in the room may hear and see what was said, for meetings or large conferences/depositions.
6. If laptops are provided with the proper software, they may be hooked up to the server and networked thus allowing note taking simultaneously and alleviate re-reading the transcript later.

Unedited Disks:

1. A disk can be provided consisting of the testimony which is unedited or un-proofread, but appears very readable because of realtime reporting. A good use is to put it into ASCII language thus usable for abstracting or media usage, (when used for meetings).
2. The testimony may be disked out at any time during the proceedings. A person called a "Scopist" can be brought along to the job site to edit testimony as it is happening for an edited version - to be proofread later and approved by the court reporter.
