LOG NOTE SYSTEM FOR DIGITALLY RECORDED AUDIO

摘要

A system which is primarily of use for lawyers, judges and electronic court reporters operates to correlate personal log notes with digitally recorded audio proceedings. The notes may be made in conjunction with the computer actually recording the courtroom proceedings; or they may be made on personal computers separate from the computer recording the court proceedings. Identification of the proceedings is made on both the digitally recorded proceedings, as well as on the log notes (280) so that they are correlated. Each time a note is entered, the time at which the note is entered is placed as a time stamp (278) in conjunction with the note. When the log notes are synchronized with the recorded court proceedings, reference subsequently to that note time stamp allows direct immediate access to the same running time on the court proceedings, for subsequent review of either the recorded audio or a transcription made of that audio carrying the same time references.
