Automatic Synchronization for Videotaped Depositions
SANTA CLARA, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- January 30, 2007 -- YesVideo, developer and licensor of the industry-leading YesLaw deposition video products and services, announced the release of a new voice recognition synchronization service within the widely used YesLaw Generator software. This new upgrade feature of YesLaw Generator will be announced at the LegalTech Show in New York City on Jan. 30th. Starting in Spring 2007, YesLaw Generator users will be able to choose YesVideo's 100% accurate synchronization services or the new low-cost automatic synchronization with very good accuracy.
"This new option will further automate production, making YesLaw Generator the most complete, cost-effective and efficient solution for legal service providers," says Greg Ayres, Chief Operating Officer of YesVideo. "We serve a broad spectrum of professional video service providers. Some of our clients desire the speed and cost-effectiveness of automatic synchronization tools and others, who don't have time to quality check the synchronization, require 100% precise synchronization."
The YesLaw Generator software enables YesLaw resellers, made up of court reporting, legal video, and litigation support firms, to author YesLaw products in-house, by encoding the deposition videos and using the YesLaw Generator software to produce discs that contain the embedded YesLaw application for viewing and editing. YesVideo provides the YesLaw Generator software to their resellers at no cost. Resellers pay only for the synchronization and licensing fees per usage.
"We have been anticipating this auto synchronization offering from YesVideo," says Jeff Cobb, a current YesLaw Generator user and owner of Yamaguchi Obien Mangio, LLC Court Reporting & Video firm. "Our clients often approach us with tight deadlines and this solution helps us toward the immediate turnaround they have come to expect."
