I have a PDF of printed text that runs well past the hundred-page mark, and I need every word retyped into an editable format. The scan quality rules out reliable OCR, so I’m looking for accurate manual entry that mirrors the original spelling, punctuation, paragraph breaks and simple formatting such as headings, bold or italics.
The source is clean text—no handwritten notes, no complex tables—so the focus is on speed and precision rather than design recreation. A light proofread as you go is essential; I don’t want to chase stray typos once the file reaches me.
Deliverables:
• A single, fully typed Word or Google Docs file that matches the PDF text.
• Pagination or clear section markers so I can cross-reference with the source quickly.
• A brief log of any illegible spots or uncertainties you encounter.
I’m flexible on milestones—sending batches of 25–30 pages for review works well—but the entire document should be complete within a mutually agreed timeline. If you’ve handled large-volume retyping projects before, feel free to mention it when you respond.
