FAQs

Quick answers about our manual services. Have a question we haven't covered? Get in touch.

How is the manual service different from AutoTranscript / AutoTranslate?

Our software services run instantly and are billed per minute or per word at a flat rate. The manual service is performed end-to-end by trained legal staff, with rates that vary by turnaround and language. Choose manual when accuracy, certification, or sensitive content demands a human in the loop.

How do I send my files?

You can send files directly via WhatsApp (011-1052 1714) or email (enquiries@lexup.com.my). After we confirm your quote, we can also share a secure upload link, and for larger jobs we can arrange a dedicated transfer.

Is my data confidential?

Yes. All staff are bound by confidentiality, files are stored on access-controlled infrastructure, and we'll sign an NDA on request.

Can you certify the translation?

We can arrange certified translations on request — please mention this when you enquire so we can quote correctly.

How is payment handled?

For manual jobs, we issue a written quotation and invoice. We accept bank transfer; other payment methods are available on request.

What if my turnaround is shorter than what's listed?

For rush jobs outside the listed turnarounds, please contact us directly — we will check capacity and quote on a case-by-case basis.
