I have a collection of scanned PDF documents containing only text that must be converted into an editable digital format. The job is pure transcription—no numbers, tables, or complex layouts—so accuracy and careful proofreading are essential.
You may use OCR to speed up the process, yet every line must still be reviewed manually to ensure the final files match the originals exactly. I will share the PDFs in batches via Google Drive; for each source file, return a clean Word document (or plain .txt if you prefer) with the same file name and basic paragraph structure preserved.
Deliverables
• One editable text file per PDF
• 100 % text accuracy, with any illegible sections flagged in a log
• A brief completion sheet noting pages processed and issues found
The first batch is 100 pages and I’d like it back within three days, after which further batches will follow once quality is confirmed. Let me know your experience with text data entry from scanned PDFs and how quickly you can start.
