Stenobox

Proceeding type

Telling Stenobox what kind of proceeding this is gets the format right from the start — a deposition comes out in Q./A. from the very first question instead of name labels.

Auto — judge from the recording Deposition / EBT Examination under oath (EUO) Court hearing (a judge presides) Statement (witness not sworn) Context & known participants (improves speaker identification) Number of speakers actually on the recording (recommended)

How many voices are really on this audio — count only who speaks (e.g. a deposition with one examiner, one defending attorney, and the witness = 3). This keeps Stenobox from spreading one attorney across several names. It matters most when a caption lists many attorneys but only a couple attend.

Transcript style Court Standard (Keeps every word, removes "um" and "uh" — recommended) True Verbatim (Strict verbatim, keeps all stutters/fillers) Clean Verbatim (Removes stutters, false starts, and filler words) Interpreted proceeding (transcribe only the English — skip foreign-language speech) Raw transcript only (skip formatting pass)
