Visionary 6.0 is trial preparation software, similar to Sanction, TrialPro and TrialDirector. More and more, legal professionals rely on this technology to prepare compelling trial presentations for judge and jury. These programs help significantly decrease the amount of time required to prepare polished and professional trial presentations. At the touch of a button, an attorney or paralegal can play a vital clip from a videotaped deposition — or highlight key statements in discovery documents for the entire jury to see clearly. This software is changing the way trial attorneys practice law. Visionary measures up to the competition astonishingly well. In a nutshell, Visionary 6.0 organizes multimedia data, arranging information into a streamlined presentation outline. Legal staff can search and organize video, audio, images, photographs and documents. In addition, users can create hyperlinks between transcripts and images. Bar code labels associated with each outlined event can be retrieved and printed easily. If you are comfortable using Microsoft PowerPoint software, then you should have no difficulty maneuvering through Visionary 6.0. A real bonus is the Standard version of Visionary 6.0 is free. This software is painless on budgets of solo practitioners and law firms alike. It gives everyone an opportunity to try out a sophisticated trial presentation program without investing a heap of money. I encourage you to take advantage of this free offer. However, this isn’t just about saving you a little money. Ideas, ideals and great concepts are vital to our system of justice, but there must be more than that — there must be delivery and presentation. Visionary provides an easy method to import, search and annotate your collection of court and deposition transcripts. Visionary’s search engine allows you to use wildcard, Boolean and proximity terms for accurate query results. Any standard, nonproprietary digital file format can be displayed on the system. Demonstrative exhibits displayed by Visionary include scanned document images, graphics, charts, photographs, depositions, full-motion MPEG and other digital video formats, and computer animation. You also can import data stored in LiveNote transcript files. The IssueBuilder outliner and scripting tool provides a functional tool for organizing and presenting the key points of your case. IssueBuilders let you save your important references to transcripts, video clips and notes, as well as third-party programs such as PowerPoint. Basically, IssueBuilders are outlines created and named by you. IssueBuilder outlines allow up to 255 indentation levels. Visionary’s image viewer makes displaying and flagging your documents simple. The program contains a set of tools that let you annotate, highlight, zoom and rotate images. Your changes are saved and automatically recalled when the images are displayed from search results or IssueBuilders. Visionary’s digital transcript to video synchronization technology and its tools for managing video are excellent. You can create and playback synchronized video, video clips and edit MPEG clips for your presentation. Visionary includes an exceptional image database to locate document images based on date, description, deposition exhibit number, trial exhibit number, summary and optical character recognition data. Visionary’s database makes organizing files for your presentation fast and easy. You can locate and display any part of any image, transcript or synchronized video for the judge and jury in seconds. Also, you can integrate with third-party databases such as CaseMap, Concordance and Summation. When you are in the courtroom, CourtViewer allows all of your saved forms of trial data to be displayed and manipulated in a full-screen mode. The commands available in CourtViewer mode are easy to use and easy to hide. This feature lets you to switch back and forth from CourtViewer mode without any difficulty. Whether you are working on a case that involves vast amounts of data, or a small case with a handful of key documents, Visionary empowers you with a sophisticated presentation program and flexible options. The simple interface and seamless method of presentation makes accessing any form of evidence a breeze.
