Drop a transcript and I'll condense it.
Condensed Transcript
Condense a deposition or hearing transcript into a mini-script — two, four, six or eight pages laid out on each sheet, for the binder or the deposition kit.
Good to know
- Four-up is the standard mini-script; two-up stays readable without a magnifier.
- Pages are scaled to fit their tile, so mixed page sizes still line up.
- The text stays text — this is a re-layout, not a screenshot, so it remains searchable.
Your files stay on your machine
This tool runs entirely inside your browser tab. Nothing is uploaded, stored, or sent to a server — close the tab and every trace is gone.
These are the free ones — see the full suiteHow big a file can it take?
There is no upload, so there is no upload limit — but the work happens in this tab, which means your browser’s memory is the budget. Nothing here will refuse a file for being large; a big enough one simply gets slow and, eventually, reloads the tab. The figures below are rules of thumb on a desktop browser, not enforced caps. On a phone or tablet, expect a good deal less.
- Transcripts are long by nature and every page is thumbnailed, so this is one to watch — comfortable to around 500 pages, sluggish past 1,500.
- Each source page is embedded into its tile, so the condensed file is built from the whole original rather than from the preview images.
Password-protected PDFs are declined whatever their size — unlock the file first. If a run does die on a long document, splitting it into volumes and working through them one at a time is the reliable way round it.
