Questions, answered straight.
Eight short answers. Anything else, ask in the form below.
Can you read any document?
Most, yes. Sharp, undamaged pages read best; faded or torn ones less so. I test a few of your pages first, and anything unreadable is marked, never guessed.
Can you read handwriting and old letters?
Yes. The 1867 letter above is one. Clear handwriting reads well; faded ink and crossed-out words are flagged for a person to check, and the original image stays one click away.
What languages?
Spanish, Portuguese and English, including old spelling. Ask about others. I keep the original text and any translation separate and linked.
Can audio and video be searched?
Yes. Speech becomes timed text you can search and jump to, and I can add what is on screen. Sound quality decides how much review is needed.
What do I get at the end?
What you need: a searchable collection, Word documents, transcripts, spreadsheet or data files (CSV, JSON, XML), or material for a book, podcast or documentary, plus your original page images, each with a stable ID. We agree it before I start.
How much does it cost?
It depends on the number of pages or hours, their condition and what you want out. I look at a sample first and then give you a clear quote.
Who owns the data, and is it private?
You keep your rights in your material. I can sign an NDA before any files are shared, process everything on your own machines or cloud account, keep it in your country, and delete every copy when the work is delivered or whenever you ask. Please don’t send sensitive files through this page.
Is this website running live AI?
No. Everything here is real output saved from my two archives, shown as a replay. Nothing you do here calls an AI service or sends your data anywhere.
What’s waiting to be found in your collection?
Describe the material and what you’d like to do with it. I’ll tell you what search could find in it.
Business records and case files too. I can sign an NDA before any files are shared, work on your own machines or cloud account, keep the data in your country, and delete every copy when the work is delivered.
