Questions and answers
My handwriting is messy. Will it work?
If a person can read it, so can we in most cases. Words we are unsure of are marked [?] instead of guessed.
Can you turn the notes into a summary?
This service types what is on the page. A summary or study guide is a separate service.
How should I photograph the pages?
In daylight, from straight above, one page or one spread per photo. Up to 5 photos per order.
