SUBMITTING DOCUMENTS FOR FREE ESTIMATE
- Obtain the clearest copy or scan possible.
- Make sure the complete text appears on the copy/scan. (Sometimes, text is “lost” around the edges during the copying process.)
- Copy or scan complete pages when possible, especially when submitting handwritten materials. A larger handwriting sample is often useful for deciphering unique handwriting styles.
- When copying entries from church registers, always include the column headings.
- Provide place-names and/or surnames associated with documents submitted, when known.
- Photocopies may be submitted by U.S. Mail to the address provided above; scans may be sent directly to: OmegaTranslation@aol.com. When submitting photocopies by mail, please include an e-mail address (if available) in order to expedite receipt of your free estimate.
- Copies of your documents are required, before I can provide an accurate estimate. Cost calculations are based on a variety of factors, e.g. length, language, legibility, subject matter, etc., and thus it is simply impossible to provide an accurate estimate without examining the specific document(s) to be translated.
PAYMENT METHODS
- By U.S. Mail: personal checks or money orders.
- Online: PayPal.
DELIVERY OF TRANSLATIONS
- Completed translations will be returned to the client as Microsoft® Word documents attached to e-mail, when possible. Otherwise, hard copies will be sent by U.S. Mail. Those receiving translations by e-mail can also request hard copies at no additional charge.
- Small projects can generally be completed within a day or two of receipt, larger ones within a week or two. If you have a critical deadline, please let me know when you submit your document(s), and every effort will be made to comply.
