A fair comparison
Start with the job your firm needs done
YesLaw, acquired by Stenograph in 2018, is a proven tool for producing full and condensed PDF transcripts, synchronized video, linked exhibits, and online delivery. Its production workflow remains centered on Windows software, with YesLaw Online available for hosted access and collaboration.
CaseMark Source is a browser-based production and delivery platform. It combines certification packaging, exhibit indexing, automatic video sync, captioned clip creation, legal workflows, and a branded client portal. Where YesLaw is strong, this comparison says so. The question is which operating model fits the way your firm wants to work now.

View the published agreementWhy teams choose CaseMark Source
Production, work product, and delivery stay connected
01
One certification. Twelve deliverable formats.
Source prepares certified PDF, court reporter TXT, condensed PDF, DOCX, a word index, and seven litigation-support formats as one organized package with a manifest. If one format fails, successful files remain available and production can retry without recertifying.
02
Describe the testimony. Receive named, captioned clips.
Your team can select transcript words or describe one or more clip ranges in plain language. Source proposes the matched testimony for review, then creates separately named MP4s with the caption choice, speaker labels, and timestamps preserved.
Nothing to install or maintain
Production, review, and delivery happen in a modern browser, so Mac, PC, and tablet users work from the same matter without tracking a desktop installation.
The record stays reporter controlled
Automation prepares the work around certification. The reporter previews the pages, controls the certificate language, and approves the record.
A delivery portal that can generate revenue
Your branded portal can offer summaries, chronologies, transcript analysis, and clips as client-requestable services. Your firm controls availability and client-facing pricing.
