In a hearing last Friday at 9:00 a.m., counsel asked me to mask a minor’s name in the realtime output going to two iPads, while keeping my transcript verbatim. I prioritize accuracy and strict confidentiality, but I’m uneasy about altering the live display — do you treat this as a sealed portion, use on-the-fly aliasing in your CAT, or decline and handle redactions only in the final?
I use a realtime-only alias dictionary so the feed shows ‘Minor A’ while my working transcript stays verbatim, with a one-stroke toggle in case counsel changes course — belt-and-suspenders… If they won’t stip on the record to that setup, I treat it like a sealed portion and pause the feed instead; does that fit your court’s protocol?
Building on @nash_jones91, I route the iPad feed through CaseViewNet with a viewer-only dictionary that aliases the minor while my transcript stays verbatim, and my macro inserts a timestamped note like “[alias on 09:02]” for the record. Small caveat: if they start waffling, I pause the feed for 5–10 seconds to confirm on the record before switching back.
