Verbatims to be avoided

Entreprises

  1. “At this stage, we shouldn’t have to put up with any more careless mistakes!”
  2. “We read and reread but couldn’t find all the typos.”
  3. “Sorry Sir, we didn’t have time to look again.”
  4. “I’m so worried about important publications and even emails that my company’s image suffers because of grammatical and spelling mistakes.”

 

Individuals

  1. “All that time spent on a document and left so many mistakes?”
  2. “An annual report full of mistakes – how bad is that for a company quoted on the stock exchange? What will shareholders think? … It reveals a lot about their management. Should I continue to trust them? “
  3. “The large number of mistakes and the lack of punctuation have even changed the meaning of the sentences… how negligently!!!”

Frequently Asked Questions

It’s essential to manage your image, because every time you write or publish something, you put it on the line. Having your documents proofread and corrected gives you some perspective and an external eye you lose by writing your own texts.

Our deadlines depend on the number of pages, the type of copy and the complexity of the document. Once we have studied your project, we will send you a quote indicating the deadline for approval. We adapt our rates to your deadlines.

It takes 3 days for 10 pages, 5 for 11 to 50 pages, 8 for 51 to 100 pages and 12 for 101 to 150 pages. These are standard working days. For more volume, please refer to the quote.

Yes, indeed. However, it’s a fact we usually have to go back and forth on the text. The author’s availability is therefore key to complete the proofreading.

Proofreading is performed using computer word processing.
The author receives two corrected versions of his manuscript: one showing all the amendments to the text. The other displaying only the comments requiring the author’s action.

These are generally suggestions for replacing repetitions, awkward sentences, pointing out inconsistencies, deletions, etc.
These comments give rise to exchanges between you and us.
The number of round-trips depends on the amount of proofreading and correction work to be done.

Due to the large number of formats and fonts, we work according to the following guidelines to ensure harmony and consistency: – Document reception format : Spacing: 1.5 – Fonts for Word: 12: Calibri – Times – Arial.

Our rates are degressive and depend on your deadlines. For urgent tasks, we can send you a specific price list on request. In addition, a complex document will cost more than a less complex one.

In order to send you the most accurate quote, we first analyze the document in order to evaluate the real workload to be accomplished and then valuate it, before communicating the quotation to the customer for approval.

Only a human can tell you if a word is missing from your sentence, for example. The most delicate nuances will not be provided by the AI, which will most of the time provide the basics and possible solutions.
