About
About Our Proofreading and Revision Services
Anyone who writes and creates texts is probably familiar with the old adage: the devil is in the details. Producing high-quality content and translations therefore often require a second pair of eyes, especially if you have not created the content in your mother tongue.
Having your own content such as academic papers, brochures, web content or other texts that you want to publish checked by a multilingual content provider such as Seprotec can therefore be a great added value.
Be it to assure translation quality or grammatical and stylistic accuracy of original texts written in your native or a foreign language such as English.

Helping to improve your document quality and readability so that your content becomes your “business card”.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What are proofreading services?
Professional proofreading involves an experienced proofreader who is knowledgeable in the language and relevant subject field carefully reviewing a manuscript or other written texts for errors in grammar, spelling, punctuation, clarity, syntax, and overall readability. This process also includes making sure that the document follows the company’s style guidelines or general scientific standards, such as APA format for academic writing. Professional editors offer proofreading and editing services for a wide range of content and business documents, improving the quality of the source text through corrections.
-
What are revision services?
A revision or editing is a process where bilingual texts are compared by a linguist that is knowledgeable in the relevant subject field to ensure that the source and target texts contain the same information. This is relevant, for example, when a text has been translated.
It usually involves experienced professionals who are proficient in both languages and cultures revising the texts to ensure that the message of the source is conveyed correctly, there are no typographical errors and terminology is consistent.
This process is also defined in the ISO 17100 standard, which specifies requirements for translations to ensure their quality. -
Are revision and proofreading the same thing?
Both services are often used interchangeably, but they are actually quite different. But what’s the difference? Proofreading is a monolingual linguistic check of a text or translation. The proofreader is a native speaker and a specialist in the subject field like electrical engineering to make sure that there are no grammatical or spelling errors, the style and tone is consistent with a corporate style guide, and appeals to the target audience.
Revision or review on the other hand is a bilingual comparison of the target against the source text. It is usually conducted by a professional linguist, who is a native speaker in the target and proficient in the source language, and is knowledgeable in the subject field. The objective of a review is basically to make sure that the information was conveyed correctly in the translation process and the text is grammatically and stylistically accurate.
As an expert in the field of providing multilingual solutions, Seprotec has an extensive network of professionals providing services in a variety of subject field and text types. -
How much does a proofreading cost?
The costs for professional proofreading can vary and depend on several factors like the language (or the language pair in case of a revision), text type, subject area and service level. The basis for pricing is, however, generally a price per hour. On rare occasions costs are calculated per source word/line or page.
If you would like to find out the price for a specific document, please contact us and we will provide you with a free, non-binding quote. -
How long does it take to proofread 1,000 words?
The turnaround time for a proofreading usually depends on the availability of the right resources, the complexity of the text, and the aspects that need to be checked (grammar and style, compliance with the corporate style guidelines, etc.).
In principle, professionals can proofread 8,000 words a day. Accordingly, they need roughly one hour for 1,000 words. However, as already mentioned, this can vary greatly and proofreading can take much longer or be much faster.
