The overall price of your project is determined using our price matrix. This involves three characteristics: typeface, legibility, and condition. A text that uses a standard modern or equivalent typeface is easier to digitize than a text that uses an obscure or difficult to decipher typeface or handwriting. Likewise, a text that is clear and uses a minimal number of character sets, or a text on pages that are not marred by physical damage such as smudges, tears, or unusual textual features, will be easier to digitize than a smudged text on worn pages.

A hybrid of window system, shell, and editor, Acme gives text-oriented applications a clean, expressive, and consistent style of interaction. Traditional window systems support interactive client programs and offer libraries of pre-defined operations such as pop-up menus and buttons to promote a consistent user interface among the clients. Acme instead provides its clients with a fixed user interface and simple conventions to encourage its uniform use.
ALTO (Analyzed Layout and Text Object) is a XML Schema that details technical metadata for describing the layout and content of physical text resources, such as pages of a book or a newspaper. It most commonly serves as an extension schema used within the Metadata Encoding and Transmission Schema (METS) administrative metadata section. However, ALTO instances can also exist as a standalone document used independently of METS.
