Flawless & Fast Copy Typing Services

Copy typing is retyping existing documents - printed, scanned or handwritten - into editable digital files. The work goes to typists who do this particular job every day, not to a general pool, and each file is checked against the source by a second reviewer before it is sent. This site is built around audio, video and document material in almost any format, including legacy media.

Worth asking for: files come back in Word, Excel, PDF or your own template. It is easier to set at order stage than to retrofit, and it costs nothing on top of the quoted rate when it is part of the original brief. A digital master of the source can be returned alongside the finished file where the original is fragile.

Yes, in 100+ languages, each handled by a native speaker and not by someone working from a dictionary. What copy typing involves does not change with the language, and the same independent check happens before delivery. Older recordings often mix languages, and each one is kept as it was spoken instead of flattened into one.

Typing is quoted per page, with volume pricing once a project passes an agreed size. The quote for copy typing is worked out from the page count, how legible the source is and how much formatting the finished file needs. The source format makes no difference to the rate; digitising legacy media appears as its own line in the quote. Copy typing is quoted per job rather than on a published unit rate, because the cost follows what you need done. Send the material and the figure comes back within minutes.

It depends on length and on how difficult the source is, and the time is in the quote before you commit. Rush delivery within 2 to 24 hours covers the urgent end. Legacy media such as tape, MiniDV, DAT or optical disc adds a digitising step, and that is quoted and scheduled up front. Copy typing is scheduled against the people who actually do this work, not against a general pool.

The standard is 99+%, reached by doing the job twice: one person produces the file, a second checks it against the source. Degraded tape and low-bitrate audio go to people used to that loss, not to software that fills the gaps with guesses. What gets checked on copy typing is the detail a reader would otherwise have to verify themselves: names, figures, terms and anything the source left ambiguous.

Yes. Everyone who touches your material signs an NDA, transfer is encrypted, and access is limited to the people assigned to the job, usually one typist and one reviewer. Copy typing often involves material people would not want circulated, so the file is closed to everyone except the pair working on it. Archive material is often the only copy in existence, so originals are logged, restricted and returned. Your own agreement can be signed before the first file is sent.

You choose: editable Word or Google Docs, a searchable PDF for filing, or Excel where the content belongs in a table. Source material in almost any audio, video or document format is accepted, including formats most suppliers turn away. The format for copy typing is agreed at order stage, so the first delivery is the one you can file, send on or publish. Send a template once and every later order follows it.

Three steps: send the material, approve the quote, receive the finished work by email. Nothing starts before you approve the price, and revisions are free for 30 days after delivery. Say what the copy typing is for when you send it, because a filing, a publication and an internal record are formatted differently.

By card, PayPal, Square, wire transfer or check, or on a monthly invoice where your finance team prefers one. Archives, broadcasters and institutions sending media in batches are invoiced monthly instead of item by item. Copy typing is billed on completion against the approved quote, with no deposit taken up front. Quotes are issued in writing and the invoice never exceeds the figure you approved.
