FAQ
Can you transcribe very poor or faded handwriting?
Yes, absolutely! Thanks to my 2 years of professional company experience processing complex historical archives, I am highly trained in reading difficult, faded, and ancient cursive scripts (Paleography). However, please send me a sample image before ordering so I can confirm its readability.
Do you use AI or automated software for the transcription?
Never. Old historical handwriting is too complex for automated AI tools, which often generate errors. Every single word of your document will be read, deciphered, and keyed manually by me to ensure 100% accuracy.
How do you handle words that are completely unreadable or destroyed?
If a word is entirely illegible due to ink stains or damage, I will format it clearly as [illegible] or [faded] in the final file, along with the exact line number so you can track it easily.
Will the digitized file look like the original document layout?
Yes. I perform exact layout matching. The final MS Word or Excel document will mirror the original layout line-by-line, including margins, headers, and column structures, making it very easy for you to cross-check.
Is my sensitive genealogical data kept confidential?
Your privacy is my top priority. Coming from a corporate tech background, I maintain strict professional confidentiality standards. Your documents will never be shared with anyone and will be permanently deleted once the project is completed.
