4.7. Conclusions - Determining factors in effective transcript use


The most important factor determining the extent to which computerised
retrieval of transcript will improve the conduct of complex trials is the
timely provision of transcript in a standardised form which can be used by as
many retrieval programs as possible. Second in importance in the informed
choice of retrieval software by prosecution, defence and the court, and the
availability of sufficient resources and training for each to make
effective use of this technology. Third in importance is the
provision of courtroom facilities for retrieval and 
display of transcript, whether or not real-time CAT is used. A         [PP67]
further factor of general importance is access by the defence
to litigation support facilities.
