manuscript, typescript
A manuscript is a letter, document, or book written by hand; it is writing as distinguished from print. Manuscript comes from Latin words meaning "written by hand," but the term is now applied to an author's copy of a work, whether in longhand or typewritten, that is used as the basis for typesetting. Typescript is a typewritten copy of a composition; it refers to such matter as distinguished from handwritten or printed material."This manuscript is written in pencil." "The typescript of this short story is twenty pages long."
