Should I clean up a rough before I send it out?

I know that a rough is exactly that a rough! But there were some parts where the witness was a lil fast and I know for sure I dropped here and there, and in one page I dropped about 2 questions.  Should I go through the transcript before I send it out?   How about my untranslates, do I global those?

This is my very first rough order :/ 

Thank you!

I do not include the swearing in clause on roughs either.  My roughs start with Direct-Examination, By S0-and-So, Q.  I do not put a certificate page.

Here's is a copy of a disclaimer I include with all roughs:

UNOFFICIAL DRAFT TRANSCRIPT
This is an unofficial draft transcript

Notes:
     The following file is not an official transcript.  It is intended only to aid in case preparation.  It cannot be quoted from or used to perjure a witness.  The final transcript will be different from this rough draft in terms of Q/A/Colloquy formatting, page and line numbers, and substance, where there are computer mistranslations or where there has been cross-talk or difficulty with speed or audibility during the deposition.  The final transcript will be edited, proofread, and quality-checked.
    This draft transcript is supplied to you on the condition that, upon receipt of the certified transcript, this draft and any copies thereof (in condensed format or otherwise) will be destroyed.  The certified transcript is the only official transcript which may be relied upon for purposes of verbatim citation of testimony.
        

Dear rrcsr, if you have the time, reflecting on what I've done in the past, try to clean it up as much as possible.  Yes, global untranslates that you want to go into your dictionary.  Your droppage, if the testimony is in an audible recording, go back to that and insert it in your rough.  You never know when a rough can be used in comparison to the finished transcript, and that could reflect negatively on the credibility of your certificate page on the completed transcript.  Do not include a title page nor a certificate page on your rough.  Don't worry about putting in exhibit parentheticals.  Designate your speakers with a global.   And smile!  :-) 

Agree with everything above.  I was also taught not to put page numbers or line numbers on it.  I love Iheart's disclaimer.

I'm guessing you mean a court transcript.  I'm a freelance reporter and to me a rough copy just means an expedited copy.  There's no way we can hand them in with translates.  Although, I only have a year's experience and I think I only had a rough copy ordered once.

Thanks to all of you for taking the time to help me out on my rough question.  It was really helpful :)

I used to spend almost a whole sleepless night over roughs, cleaning them up so the attorney would love it.  Now I am beginning to realize that these attorneys are getting the word that they can get an (almost perfect) "expedite" at a fraction of the price.  Why clean it up so much?  Now I even leave in a few steno untranslates.  Won't they have fun with those?  Hey, they ordered a rough!  And punctuation is another thing.  Without punctuation, some things become almost unreadable.  Oh well.  They ordered the rough.  Am I being too hard-hearted?  Maybe.  I just don't like getting paid for a rough when I have spent the exact amount of time that I would on an overnight expedite.  I do clean it up some, but not that much anymore, and I always always put the disclaimer at the bottom of each page.    

When I had my first rough order, I cleaned it up quite a lot.  My agency owner asked me to leave my roughs "more rough" and to leave some untranslates throughout to make it crystal clear that it is, indeed, a rough draft.  If it was a tough job where I think I may have some drops, I might check it a little more thoroughly, though.

Just sent off a rough.  Very easy transcript.  Cleaned up the untranslates, put in the speaker i.d.

But there was one mis-stroked word that I had to leave alone.  My sick sense of humor, dontcha know.

Internal Revenue Services translated as "in terrible revenue service."

Classic!  I'll see those attorneys again tomorrow.  I hope we get a good laugh, if they caught it.  :)
