Copy Typing Services

We provide accurate, professional copy typing services from handwritten, printed, or scanned originals, converting your material into a clean, editable digital document.

Our work often involves documents that are old, fragile, complex, or unique, and we approach every project with care, patience, and attention to detail.

What We Can Copy Type

We regularly copy type from a wide range of source materials, including:

  • Handwritten documents and notes

  • Old typed manuscripts and reports

  • Scanned documents and PDFs

  • Printed books and book extracts

  • Diaries, journals, and personal records

  • Historical and wartime (including WWII diaries), including historical defence and MOD-related documents, including legacy records and archived material

  • Church sermons and religious texts

  • Manuals, guides, and instructional material

  • Meeting notes and content captured from whiteboards

  • Research notes and working papers

If your document exists only on paper — or in a format that’s difficult to edit or share — we can help bring it into a usable digital form.

Handling Historical, Personal & Sensitive Documents

Many copy typing projects involve personal, historical, or sensitive material. We understand the importance of accuracy, discretion, and respect when working with documents such as diaries, correspondence, sermons, and family records.

Where required, we can:

  • Retain original spelling, grammar, and formatting

  • Modernise layout while preserving original wording

  • Flag unclear handwriting or damaged text

  • Maintain consistency across longer or multi-part documents

We’re happy to discuss how closely the finished document should mirror the original.

From Rough Originals to Usable Documents

Your finished document can be supplied in a format suitable for:

  • Editing and revision

  • Printing or sharing

  • Archiving or preservation

  • Submission to publishers or organisations

We ensure documents are clearly set out, consistently formatted, and easy to work with.
