OnCue
OnCue is Windows courtroom presentation software for legal professionals.
What OnCue is
OnCue is Windows courtroom presentation software for legal professionals. It lets users build and reuse unlimited workspace layouts, then switch among them instantly. On-Air Mode displays intended content without controls or toolbars, with click or hotkey operation, and the software can manage multiple monitors with different content on each display. For deposition work, its video editor can refine designations, edit transcript text, link documents to video, and edit audiovisual clips. ProSync synchronizes transcripts with video locally, so users can access testimony by page and line without an internet connection. OnCue stores case folders locally rather than in the cloud; the maker says synced materials stay under the user's control. It resolves naming conflicts during import, standardizes names, and searches across case databases. OnCue is Windows-only, with no native macOS version, though Mac users can run it in a Windows virtual machine. Plans range from $50 a year to $100 a month, and a fully functioning 30-day demo is available by email request.
