Were the final copies of Shakespeare's plays written by hand?

That is, after Shakespeare handed them in, they would have been rewritten and stored.

Were they handwritten by scribes? The inconsistencies appear only slight, it seems almost impossible.

And if they were handwritten, would it have taken a person very long to do so?
