Questions
Yes - old scripts are the reason this tool exists. Names and dates are the hardest part of old documents, so anything uncertain is flagged for your review instead of silently guessed.
2 credits per page, whatever the page is. Human transcription services charge $10–80 per page for difficult scripts - a 50-letter shoebox here costs less than one letter there.
Processed on our own servers, never used to train any model, deleted 7 days after your job completes.
