The problem

The problem is not any one step. It is everything between them.

Trial teams are still managing deposition designations across disconnected tools. Spreadsheets, email threads, marked PDFs, objection lists, court rulings, vendor clip lists and revised cuts all become separate versions of the same testimony.

DepoHub

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 work product without losing control.

Serve designations in a familiar workbook. Bring opposing counsel's objections and counters back into DepoHub. Each side controls its private work until it is actually served.

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

Turn one designation record into every trial-ready output your team needs: 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

Export the entire case whenever you want, in formats your team can use without DepoHub. 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.
