ProTEXT is the trade name for a transcript condensing and indexing software used by legal professionals to save paper when printing legal transcripts. Originally created in 1994 by Val Patterson, it featured a graphical user interface that allowed the user to view the finished condensed print on screen before printing.
A Court Reporter (for example) can make an ASCII file from court proceedings or depositions, then use the ASCII file in ProTEXT to print anywhere from 1 to 256 pages per sheet of paper. This saves a lot of paper when printing court documents.
The earliest version of this program (1991) was named 'Court Reporter Pro' and worked only with Microsoft MS-DOS. After Windows 3.1 was released, the program was updated to a Windows version that allowed many more features.
The programs ProEDIT and ProDEX are associated programs also produced by ETS Inc. (Electronic Transcript Software)
