Stenograph’s iCVNet iPad app provides attorneys and judges instant viewing of realtime deposition and trial transcripts on an iPad. Court reporters using Case CATalyst software can send the realtime text via a wireless network. Attorneys and legal professionals can connect to the reporter’s secure WiFi network to receive, view, mark, search and email the transcript. Once connected, the entire transcript is displayed, even if connecting after testimony has started. The connection is password protected and controlled by the court reporter. The app also uses SSL security to ensure that the realtime data is secure. The court reporter has instant notification of the client’s connection status. Any corrections or edits, big or small, made by the court reporter are automatically refreshed in the transcript. This provides the viewer with the most accurate copy of the transcript possible. Users can easily scroll through the transcript with their fingertip to review previous testimony or use the Search feature to find specific text. They can also tap to mark lines in the transcript if further review or questioning is needed. To return to the current testimony, just tap the Follow Realtime button. When done, email the transcript file to yourself or an associate. Open the file in the free full PC version of CaseViewNet for additional features.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: TrialPad at 4.5 against iCVNet's 3.3. TrialPad also leads on update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 9 months) and ratings volume (378 vs 6). iCVNet's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and review sentiment (93% vs 65%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TrialPad sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $600.00 per year. iCVNet asks for nothing beyond the download.
TrialPad holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TrialPad has 378 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 93% of iCVNet's written reviews are positive against 65% of TrialPad's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
iCVNet ships an update every 9 months, TrialPad every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on July 27, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
