Create and export formatted Impeachment Slides from TranscriptPad to TrialPad to prepare and control your cross-examination presentation.
Use the Impeachment Slides report in TranscriptPad to prepare cross-examination materials that can be quickly presented in TrialPad. Each slide includes the testimony designation, deponent name, deposition details, and source page/line information—formatted for courtroom use.
How to Create Impeachment Designations
-
As you review a transcript, tap the blue line numbers to select the start and end of a designation.
-
Tap the Flag button with the plus icon.
-
Optionally, add a Note—this could be a reference, reminder, or a draft of your cross-examination question.
Best Practice:
Use Flags (instead of Issue Codes) to ensure each designation remains a separate slide, even if they appear consecutively in the transcript.

Tap Reports, then choose PDF Detail.

Turn on only the Flags and Flag Notes options.

Tap Create Report to preview a text-based summary.
