Digitize Manuscript into Editable Word

I have a 50-100 page manuscript that needs to be converted into an editable Microsoft Word file. Accuracy is critical—I want the body text transcribed exactly, while headings, chapter breaks, and any special elements should reflect the look of the original where it makes sense. For everyday paragraphs, feel free to apply clean, standard Word styles so the document is easy to navigate and update.

Scope of work
• Transcribe or OCR the entire manuscript into Word.
• Retain original page breaks, headings, and unique formatting cues that give the text its character.
• Apply consistent, professional paragraph and style formatting for the main body text.
• Proofread for obvious typos introduced during digitisation.
• Deliver a single, fully editable .docx file ready for further edits.

I will supply high-resolution scans or photos of the manuscript once we get started, along with a short sample so you can gauge layout decisions. Familiarity with Word styles, OCR cleanup, and light proofreading will help you move quickly.

Let me know your estimated turnaround time and any relevant experience with historical or complex text digitisation.
