Global Hearing Platform Replaces Limited Legacy Systems, Bringing Consistency and Cross-Border Support to Virtual and Hybrid Proceedings 

MELBOURNE, 20 May 2026 — Epiq today announced the availability of Epiq Narrate for Australian eHearings. This marks the transition from legacy systems, such as Online Review Book, to a single, secure cloud-based system designed for virtual and hybrid proceedings. The platform standardises how hearing materials and transcripts are organised, shared, and analysed, while delivering a consistent experience to Australian teams working on national and cross-border matters. 

As matters increasingly involve multiple jurisdictions, clients require secure, reliable tools that work consistently regardless of where hearings take place. Epiq Narrate addresses this need by providing a single system of record that offers collaboration across regions, a follow-the-sun support model, and consistent workflows. The platform and its data are hosted in a secure environment in Australia. 

“Epiq Narrate gives legal teams a clear, reliable system to manage hearings, access transcripts in real time, and collaborate without friction,” said Charlotte Pache, Senior Vice President, International Court Reporting at Epiq. “Clients rely on Epiq Narrate to build, refine, and present cohesive case narratives, bringing evidence, testimony, and transcripts together in one connected environment.” 

The Epiq eHearings team has supported hundreds of major hearings across every Australian jurisdiction. Epiq is also a four-time winner of the Australasian Lawyer’s Service Provider Award for Court Reporting, and a 2025 winner for Legal Case Management Software.
