This is an option for recording that worked flawlessly with my county government. Given Covid19 has closed county offices to the public as well as the personal kiosks options to record shrunk dramatically. I recommend Deeds.Com for your recording needs.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

Fairly easy to use process and somewhat reasonably priced. Printed guide and sample filled in can be very helpful, too.

Whomever "KCH" is, that person was of great help. It took me several tries due my inexperience with ADOBE SCAN, but that certainly is no fault of yours!! KVH was very patient with me, and in fact resolved the things I was doing wrong for me, without my even requesting the assistance.
Thank you!

Amazing service. Immediate responses at all hours of the day and prevent late in the evening! Patient and friendly. I will say that Adobe scan did not work well for me. Notes app for IOS has a scan feature and that seemed to work best.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!
