Transcribe Your Registers & Personnel Records
Transcribing your registers gets you another important step closer to making your records digitally searchable, and protects against loss of valuable information through deterioration or disaster. Your registrar’s handwriting can be tricky to decipher but our transcription service can capture the handwritten data within your digitised archive and convert it to be machine readable, supporting the quick and accurate location of information.
Why transcribe registers & records?
Ease of Access
Transcription removes the need to physically handle your heavy, comprehensive records, making them easily and entirely accessible without the physical effort usually associated with manual searching.
