Which version of the transcript is referred to as the expedited version?

The expedited version of a transcript is referred to as the preliminary version. This type of transcript is produced quickly to provide parties with a record of the proceedings before the final version is completed. The preliminary transcript typically highlights the essential content and is often used for immediate reference by legal teams while a more polished final transcript is being prepared.

This contrasts with other versions such as the rough transcript, which is an unedited version capturing everything that was said but may contain numerous errors and lack formatting. The final transcript, on the other hand, is meticulously reviewed and corrected, offering a reliable and complete account of the proceedings. An updated transcript, if referenced in the context of revisions made post-production, would not qualify as expedited but rather signifies later improvements or amendments to earlier transcripts.
