What is esumry?

esumry is an AI deposition assistant that greatly reduces the time, effort, and cost of reviewing and summarizing deposition testimony. It assists with tasks such as preparing deposition digests, pretrial designations, and summaries for use in mediations, motions, and trials. esumry is powered by GPT-4, a large language model from Open AI.

How do I use esumry?

esumry is accessed from your internet browser. You can use it from anywhere you have internet service. Simply choose a deposition transcript to upload and analyze. You can enhance your analysis with multiple search terms, even phrases. esumry reads the transcript and displays the full text with powerful filters for faster review. You can instantly summarize portions of a transcript using GPT-4 from Open AI.

Do you have a mobile app?

Not currently. Our platform is optimized for desktop use in Chrome and Edge browsers.

How do you manage security and privacy?

We are SOC 2 Type I certified and take data security and privacy very seriously. Your data is encrypted using enterprise best practices for data at rest and in transit. Documents are not available except to the authenticated account user. esumry uses Open AI's GPT-4 API for automated summarization. Data processed by Open AI is not used by Open AI for service improvements and is not retained after it is processed (zero data retention). See our Terms and Conditions for details.

Our information security policy is available upon request.

How soon can I get started?

You can start as soon as you are notified that your account is approved, usually within one business day of signing up for esumry.

Can I annotate the transcript on my screen?

Yes. In addition to AI-generated summaries with GPT-4 from Open AI, you can make your own annotations to the transcript as you read along, all in one screen.

Does it work with MS Word?

Yes, esumry automatically creates a Word (.docx) file that you can save to your computer.

How does the full text summary generated by AI (artificial intelligence) work?

There is an optional function that will provide a high-level narrative summary of the entire deposition. It is a beta feature so, if you use it, we encourage your feedback. Please send it to features@esumry.com.

How long does it take to process a deposition?

It usually takes less than a minute to read, index, and highlight a transcript. If you choose the "Include AI Summary" option, it can take several minutes, depending on length. For example, a 400-page deposition can take over 15 minutes to process with AI; most depositions will take considerably less time.

Do you store my depositions or other information?

We store the deposition transcript, summaries generated, and any notes or excerpts you make for the purpose of allowing you to save your work and come back to it later. Depositions are saved when you first analyze them, every few minutes while you are working on them, and when you click "save" or "download."

We give you control over the storage of your depositions. You can delete them at any time from your library. Once you delete a deposition, it is permanently removed from our servers and cannot be recovered.

We store identifying information about you when you register as a user for authentication purposes. We also log each user, the file name of the document processed, keywords, and date/time to help with continued development and bug fixes. You can check out what we store about you in our Terms and Conditions.

What type of deposition file formats are supported?

esumry can only be used to process .txt files (like Notepad). It will not work with condensed or mini-script transcripts, pdf files, or e-Legal™ formats, or with files converted to text files from any of those formats.
