When a proceeding will be expedited and the interests of the parties will not be prejudiced substantially, evidence may be received in written form. The prepared testimony of a witness upon direct examination, either in a narrative or question and answer form, may be incorporated in the record as if read or received as an exhibit, upon the witness's being sworn and identifying the same as a true and accurate record of what his testimony would be if he were to testify orally. The witness shall be subject to cross-examination, and his prepared testimony shall be subject to being stricken either in whole or in part.
