We cannot name the exact price, because there are many nuances. Firstly, would you like to get your Russian handwritten text only translated into English or transcribed in Russian as well? Secondly, the handwriting style really matters. One text can be perfect. Another one can be difficult to read or even unreadable – chicken scratch. So, we do need to look at the whole document.

We normally charge £13 / €15/ $17 per 1 standard Word.doc page (250 words or less) of a target text in English.

We will let you know the final cost and the turnaround time.
Step #3 Make a prepayment for the project
Once we have discussed all the details, we issue an invoice for a deposit. After a partial payment (50% of total project price) is made, we start working on your translation project.
Step #4 Russian handwriting recognition
In case you also need to convert your Russian handwriting to text in an editable format, we will type its Russian copy as well.
To start with, Russian handwriting is not an easy thing to decipher, especially for a non-native speaker. We are all different people and will have different handwriting styles. Despite the fact that all modern Russian people are taught to write properly at schools, you can meet like dozens or hundreds of different handwriting in Russian.

Did you know that Russian doctors are infamous for their bad handwriting? The following examples of their texts do prove that!
As you can see, deciphering Russian cursive can be tricky even for a native speaker. For that reason, we hire only native Russian linguists with university degrees. In addition, our experts are not only experienced in dealing with handwritten Russian texts but are also proficient in translating from Russian into English and vice versa. So you can be sure we will do our best to convert your Russian handwriting to text.
Furthermore, if the text was written with ink the words or letters may be blurred over the years. So to distinguish every single letter and word we have to see the whole text and consider the context in addition. Moreover, sometimes some research work is needed to check out, for example, some personal or geographical names, or even some historical data.
Please let us know what file format suits you best. We can copy the text into Word Doc, PDF, TXT or any other file type and deliver your digital document to you shortly.
