Human typists typing your manuscript
“Copy typing” or “Typing” = human typists accurately typing handwritten or typed text into a new document that may include headings, dot points and tables. Accuracy guaranteed to be at least 98%.
We specialise in typing manuscripts, both handwritten and typed. We also type other sorts of documents.
We have a team of copy typists who:
- Are 100% human
- Copy type handwritten and typed/PDF documents
- Type manuscripts, intended for editing, design and publication. Correspondence, statements, case notes, reports. Handwritten workshop notes (butcher’s paper or PDF documents)
- Capture data (type data) into Excel, Access and other formats, creating spreadsheets when required
- Type, into Word documents, your handwritten corrections on either hardcopy documents or PDF documents
- Either type exactly ‘as is’, or type the document with spelling corrections where we notice the errors – noting however that our typists will not be doing any editing outside those spelling corrections.
Note: our typists are experienced in a broad range of handwriting, including doctors’ and elderly people’s handwriting. The messier the handwriting, the longer it will take to type so the more it will cost you. So please, make sure the handwriting is as neat as possible.
How we work out your typing needs, and do the job
- Free consultation: we will clarify what you need and your timeline. We will provide you with a quote. If you accept the quote, we will type the document as per the agreement
- If your original document is handwritten, or typed with handwritten corrections, we may consult with you to clarify indecipherable words and/or editing symbols, before completing the task and submitting the document
- If requested, we will correct spelling errors as we go (although we do not attempt to do any other ‘editing’ while typing a manuscript).
- If requested, we will create headings using Word Styles, and a Table of Contents (TOC), within your manuscript, so all the headings are linked to the TOC. (This will make the next stages of editing the manuscript easier.) Strictly speaking, this is “formatting” – for more information, go to: Formatting in Word.
- If you have asked us to type a PDF document, we will first review the document to see whether it can be converted, or whether it needs to be typed by a human. We test it to see whether the PDF can be converted into an accurate or almost-accurate Word document.
- Converting a document that has been “saved as a PDF” back to a Word document sometimes works well. On the other hand, converting a document that has been manually scanned and saved as a PDF document often results in a Word document full of errors, that has to be retyped or corrected.
