Down-line transcription system having real-time generation of transcript and searching thereof
DCFirst Claim
1. A method performed by a computing system during a proceeding in which a transcript representative of spoken words is generated in real-time, the method comprising:
- generating, by a transcription system, a transcript in real time;
communicating the transcript to a terminal;
storing the transcript;
accepting, by a user interface at the terminal during generation of the transcript, a first search request;
identifying, by the terminal, at least a portion of the stored transcript corresponding to the first search request; and
displaying, by the terminal during generation of the transcript, the at least a portion of the transcript identified.

Abstract
A context sensitive searching front-end is disclosed for use in a deposition or trial proceeding wherein a computer aided transcription terminal provides real-time transcribed text down-line to attorney terminals. The terminals may thereafter use the transcribed text and any other text currently being displayed to formulate searches with little or no typing interaction required. Other text which may be used as a basis for searching includes communications from other attorney terminals, from artificial intelligence objection messages, and personal notes. Searching may be conducted on natural language or boolean front-ends which provide virtually instant feed-back as to the value of a search formulation before and after any "searching" actually occurs. Graphing of search results, including individual search word contribution, is provided for modification and selection of the documents to be reviewed. Library selection for searching is provided by analyzing the context from which the search originated, and from the actual words selected for searching. A database structure is also disclosed for providing backward referencing into the actual locations of search words without having to search the text files.
