Pricing
You will appreciate that the time taken to transcribe a document depends heavily on style and clarity of handwriting, condition of the original and quality of the image provided to us.
Our quotes are based on the length and perceived difficulty of each document, so before we can provide even an estimate, we need to see at least a representative sample of images of the document.
