Pricing guidelines<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Transcription of texts in S\u00fctterlin or Kurrent script<\/a> into modern script plus translation into modern English:
For short texts, I usually take 0.18 \u20ac per word, 10 \u20ac minimum per order. German transcription only, without English translation: 0.12 \u20ac
For longer documents or several similar texts I set an individual price per page (typically between 10 \u20ac and 15 \u20ac), depending on legibility, length, and the type of text. Please ask me!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have more than just a few documents, I can have a look at them first, screen them for information you’re interested in, and then only transcribe and translate – or summarize – those parts.
Screening: from 2.00 \u20ac per page (depending on the kind of documents and their legibility)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your translation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Unless we have agreed otherwise, I will send you your transcription or translation by email, in the form of a pdf and a Word file. Whenever possible, I will use the same line breaks as in the original document. Words that I am unsure about will be marked with [?]<\/em> – but don’t worry, there are usually very few such words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If I notice anything worth mentioning, for example a place that has a different name today, I will point it out to you in a footnote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On bigger assignments (e.g. a diary or a collection of letters) I like to work with LaTeX<\/a>. Advantages are that the layout is prettier – it can be easily configured in a way that allows you to print the file and bind it as a book, with a table of contents and everything – and, without too much effort, I can add a name index to the file. Especially for diaries, a name index will be very helpful. However, a downside is that you will only receive a pdf from me as a result, and won’t be able to change the contents by yourself (unless you happen to have experience with LaTeX). So I will leave this decision to you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
