I have a batch of clear smartphone photos of handwritten notes that need to become clean, editable digital text. The handwriting is generally legible but varies from page to page, so accuracy is more important than speed. A manual revision pass is essential; feel free to accelerate the workflow with OCR tools such as Adobe Scan, Google Vision, Tesseract, or Microsoft OneNote, provided every file is human-proofread and free of mis-recognised characters.
All images will arrive as JPEGs in a shared Google Drive folder. When the work is finished, I should be able to search, copy, and edit the content easily. A Word document (.docx) is ideal, though a well-formatted PDF or plain .txt file is also fine—let me know which format you prefer and I can adapt.
Turnaround for the first batch is three days from the moment you receive the files, with a quick progress update halfway through if the volume grows.
Deliverables
• One editable text file per source image, named to match its photo
• (Optional but appreciated) a single consolidated file containing every page
Acceptance criteria
• At least 99 % accuracy when compared with the originals
• Original paragraph breaks, headings, and bullet points retained
• No stray line breaks or hidden characters in the final files
If you have experience transcribing handwritten material or converting scanned documents, this assignment should be straightforward. I’m ready to share sample images as soon as we agree on the details so you can confirm legibility and quote the final timeline.
