How accurate is the transcription?
We use advanced AI tools to assist with transcription and carefully review the results to preserve the meaning and structure of your writing. While handwriting styles vary, we work to produce the most accurate digital record possible.
What if my handwriting is difficult to read?
Many journals contain a variety of handwriting styles. Our process works well with most handwriting, but extremely difficult or faded writing may require additional review.

Journals are stored in a clean, climate-controlled environment and kept in protective containers when not actively being processed.
