Who we are

This is the site of Hertz Vitoria, a one-person practice working in independent online transcription of handwritten family papers: letters, diaries, recipe notebooks and postcards, read from scans and typed out faithfully as plain documents. Its job is simple: describe what we do, show how to reach us, and put the person behind it on record.

The work we do

Hertz Vitoria works in independent online transcription of handwritten family papers: letters, diaries, recipe notebooks and postcards, read from scans and typed out faithfully as plain documents. Every enquiry from this site lands with a person, who replies with what is possible, the timescale and a price. This website takes no payment of any kind.

How an enquiry works

1. Write to us with what you are after and how to contact you.
2. A person replies with availability, a timescale and a quote in writing.
3. Nothing becomes binding on this page; that happens directly with us, in writing.

What we will not do

This site carries no ratings, customer counts or sales figures, because we could not evidence them. The pictures are illustrations of the kind of work we do, not photographs of specific jobs. And we never ask for card or bank details, here or by email.

Where the name comes from

The name Hertz Vitoria is taken from the person who does this work alone and in whose name hertzvitoriausa.online is registered. The pages are written in English so they can be read by families on both sides of the papers. There is no earlier website behind it: everything here was written for this domain.
