I have between 50 and 100 pages of handwritten material that needs to become a clean, searchable PDF. No fancy layout is necessary—plain text only, laid out so the flow of the original pages is easy to follow.

You will receive high-resolution scans as soon as we start. The writing is generally clear, but there are occasional margin notes and strike-throughs that must be captured exactly as written. Accuracy matters more than speed; spelling, punctuation, and line breaks should match the source.

Deliverables
• One PDF containing the fully typed text, page-for-page with the manuscript.
• (Optional, but helpful) a simple .txt or .docx copy for future edits.

Acceptance criteria
• Every page transcribed with an error rate below 1 % on a random check.
• PDF opens flawlessly in Adobe Acrobat and is fully searchable.

Let me know your estimated turnaround time and which tools—OCR, manual typing, Adobe Acrobat, etc.—you prefer to use. I will provide a brief NDA before sharing the scans to keep the content confidential.
