Designate. Object. Exchange.
DepoHub is one workspace for deposition designations, from first review through final trial cut.

Built on live BlueBear matters · Now in use by outside litigation teams
The problem
The problem is not any one step. It is everything between them.
Trial teams have been managing deposition designations the same way for years. Spreadsheets, email threads, marked PDFs, objection lists, court rulings, vendor clip lists and revised cuts all become separate versions of the same testimony.
One record instead of eight handoffs.
Built for complex cases where deposition testimony becomes trial testimony.

01 / Designate
Work in the transcript, not around it.
Highlight testimony to designate it. Build multiple sets and versions. Tag issues. Add counters. Trim to the word. Preview synchronized video without leaving the witness.
02 / Object
One record of every objection, response and ruling.
Track objections against the testimony they apply to. See what remains unresolved. Record responses, meet and confer outcomes and court rulings without maintaining another spreadsheet.
03 / Exchange
Exchange the work without giving up the work product.
Serve designations in a familiar workbook. Bring opposing counsel's objections and counters back into the same record. Each side controls its private work until it is actually served.
Private until served. Shared once exchanged.
Take it to trial
The work is already done when your trial tech gets it.
The same designation record becomes whatever the courtroom needs. Nothing is retyped, and nothing is cut by hand from a page and line list.
Keep the courtroom tool. Fix everything upstream of it.
DepoHub does not replace your trial presentation software. It makes what you send to it better.
Your trial team still presents in OnCue. DepoHub hands it the finished cut, and takes your trial tech's tuned XML back so the whole team sees one version.
Why DepoHub
Built differently because deposition work is different.
Built around trial team logic
Not generic document review software adapted for depositions. DepoHub follows the way designation work actually moves toward trial.
Unlimited seats
Bring in the full case team and counsel from other firms without managing seat licenses.
Court ready output
Move directly from the designation record to OnCue, TextMap, exchange workbooks, reports, clips and final video.
Work product stays separated
Plaintiff and defense groups control what remains private and what has actually been served.
No hostage data
Take the entire case with you whenever you want. No conversion project, and no call with an account manager first.
BlueBear behind it
The same team that runs trial presentation and courtroom support built the workflow upstream. The people who answer the night before trial already know your case.

Built by BlueBear
Built by the people who have to make it work at trial.
DepoHub did not start with a software requirements document. It came from years of watching designation work move from lawyers to paralegals to opposing counsel to vendors to trial techs and finally into the courtroom. We built the system we wanted those teams to have.
