Convert Handwritten Documents to Text with Virtual Assistance
Introduction
Taking notes is critical for retaining and documenting all that goes on in situations where you need to remember at a later date what happened. We do not always have a computer at the ready to take notes using a word processor for easy availability and sharing, so pen and paper is still a widely used strategy for taking notes in a wide variety of situations. Getting these notes into a format that you can easily send out however, can be a pain as you need to rewrite everything that you previously written and make out any quickly written words that may not be as easy to read going back. With the assistance of Byron, we can take photocopies of your handwritten notes and transcribe them into word documents that you can easily share
Preparing Instructions
Before you send off your request, you will need to prepare some basic instructions on how exactly you would like your notes to be transcribed. You may have written your notes in a specific format or way that helps you to keep your thoughts organized, so specifying up front if you would like these notes to just be converted straight into paragraphs or broken up into bullet points or arranged in a specific order on the page.
Also an extra step you can take to help speed the process along is to provide a scan of a handwritten page of the alphabet in your own handwriting to pass along to your assistant. It sounds like an unnecessary step, but this will help your assistant decipher some of the more difficult to read words if your notes were quickly written. Providing this is not necessary but if it’s possible, it will go a long way.
Providing Resources
With your instructions, you will obviously also want to provide the notes that you would like to be transcribed in your request. They can be in any format, as long as your assistant can see the words so that they can write them down. If there are multiple files you will need to send over to your assistant for transcription, please be sure to compress them into a .zip file so that they can easily be passed along.
