Why we're building Oathdesk

We started Oathdesk because an independent court reporter we love kept staying past nine on Thursdays to reconcile jobs, transcripts, client instructions, and delivery notes. The calendar was in one place. The transcript was in another. The standing orders lived in memory. None of those three lived in the same software, and the cost of stitching them together was a person’s evening.

This is the first of a short series of notes about what we’re building, what we’re choosing not to build, and the reporters we’re building it with.

What this journal is

• Build notes. Things we shipped, things we tried and pulled.
• Working with reporters. What customers have shown us about how a modern court reporting business actually runs.
• Field reports. Conferences, depositions watched, transcripts read.

It isn’t a content marketing operation. There won’t be a post a week.

If you’d rather see the product than read about it, the demo page is a faster path.
