      • Example 2
        • It’s Monday morning and Jonathan Martinson needs a 10 page legal brief translated to present for legal purposes on Wednesday morning.
        • Jonathan doesn’t have the electronic version of these pages—only the hard-copies. Jonathan scans in all of these documents and sends them to The Spanish Group so they can count the total number of words. It turns out that there are 6,700 words in total.
        • Normally, these documents would be returned to Jonathan within 2 business days. Unfortunately, Jonathon needs these documents back in 3 hours. Jonathon decides to expedite his documents and selects Urgent Speed and receives his documents before his 3 hour deadline.
