About SoniClear Court Recorder

The software includes capabilities for multichannel digital recording, note-taking, and transcribing for accurate production of certified transcripts.

These notes improve accuracy during transcription and can also be used to locate questions or answers during court hearings or depositions for performing readbacks.

Soniclear in the Civil Market

I have been using it for more than 15 years. I think I was one of the first customers that used it in the civil market. They have always responded to my suggestions and have worked on adapting it outside of the court system. It has been reliable over all the years. Support has always fixed any issue, usually something that was changed in the settings due to Windows updates.

PROS

Soniclear has a relatively easy learning curve. The notes can be exported to word processing programs. The program interfaces with SpeedType where you can build a dictionary to speed up editing. They are working on a translation program to convert the audio file to text. The support people are very knowledgeable. Open to feedback and adding features that are requested.

CONS

It was originally developed for the court systems and the company has been slow to incorporate features that would be helpful to the civil market. In the past couple of years they have been working on that. The translation program is somewhat unreliable. If you transcribe your work, it's faster to type it out than to edit from a translated file. It can sometimes take some time (hours not days) to get a call back from support.

Reasons for switching to SoniClear Court Recorder

Lack of support by BIS. The BIS equipment was bulky and heavy to transport. Soniclear was recommended to me as an alternative.

Excellent long-term relationship

I've been using SoniClear since 2018 and I would highly recommend it.

PROS

SoniClear Court Recorder is very user friendly and easy to navigate. Also, the SoniClear team has always been very helpful any time issues have come up with my system, whether it be a computer crash, hardware issues, or updates.

CONS

The only thing that could remotely be a downside is that since the company is based out of California they are two hours behind me in Louisiana. Luckily, any emergency calls I've had to make to them were answered immediately or within the hour.

Inexpensive and Effective

Soniclear has been a great product and we will continue using it for the foreseeable future. We also use the GovRecorder product and love it as well.

PROS

Soniclear is incredibly easy to install and use. We have provided little to no training for our end users and they seem to pick up on it very quickly. The product is also priced very well and the support is fantastic.

CONS

It would be nice to have global settings that are effective for every user that logs onto the computer.

Reason for choosing SoniClear Court Recorder

Soniclear is a superior product with more functionality and it ties into our sound system very well.

Reasons for switching to SoniClear Court Recorder

FTR disappeared for some time and we couldn't even purchase a new license when we moved to a new sound system and PC.

SoniClear & CRC De México

In general, I am happy with the relationship with the company and its work team, excellent people with a great ability to listen and resolve any issue.

PROS

The Software application is very easy to use, this allows users to not require further knowledge.

CONS

It is necessary to have greater capacity in the API to allow integrations with other applications, for example, starting a session, calendars, room reservations, etc.
