I have a batch of printed documents that have already been converted to high-resolution scanned images. Your task is to extract every word from those scans and enter it verbatim into a structured text file (Word or plain-text) while preserving paragraph breaks and basic formatting. No numerical tables or mixed data—this is purely text transcription, so accuracy in spelling, punctuation, and line order matters most. You will receive a shared folder containing the scans. Feel free to use any reliable OCR tool—ABBYY FineReader, Adobe Acrobat, or Google Vision—but please proof-read the output and correct mistakes before submission. Manual typing is equally acceptable if that gives cleaner results; the final file just needs to be 100 % faithful to the source pages. Deliverable: • One clean text document matching the sequence of the original pages. I will review for completeness and accuracy page by page; any discrepancies must be fixed before sign-off.

Hello, I am a native Japanese speaker, and I also have experience transcribing scanned texts. May I ask what language the scanned text is in? Is it Japanese or English? I have placed a bid of IND760 for now, but I can provide an accurate quote after reviewing the scanned documents. I would like to ask you a few more questions, so please feel free to contact me.

Hi! I can handle this transcription job. I'll use OCR (Adobe Acrobat/ABBYY) to get a fast first pass, then proofread every page manually against the scans to catch misreads, spelling, punctuation, and line-order issues before delivery — so the final file is 100% faithful to the source, not just raw OCR output. I'll preserve paragraph breaks and basic formatting exactly as they appear, and deliver as a single clean Word or plain-text document in the same page sequence as your scans. Since this is billed hourly, my estimate depends on page count and page density (how much text per page, print quality, etc.). A few questions to help me quote accurately: Roughly how many pages/images are in the batch? Are the scans clean/high-contrast, or do some have handwriting, stamps, faded print, or unusual fonts that might slow OCR down? Any specific formatting rules (e.g., preserve headers/footers, page numbers, indentation style)? Once I know the page count, I can give you a solid time estimate and total cost upfront rather than an open-ended hourly guess. Happy to start as soon as I get access to the shared folder.

This project immediately caught my attention because it is exactly the type of work I do best. I understand the need for "accurate" transcription of "high-resolution scanned images" while maintaining "paragraph breaks and basic formatting." Precision in spelling and punctuation is crucial, and I can ensure a "clean" final document. While I am new to freelancer, I have tons of experience and have done other projects off site. My expertise includes using reliable OCR tools and manual typing to achieve the best results. If this sounds like what you're looking for I'd love to hear more about your project.

Hi, I can convert your scanned pages into one clean Word or UTF-8 text document while preserving the original page order, paragraphs, punctuation, and basic formatting. My process is straightforward: • extract or type the text page by page • compare every page against the source • correct OCR and spelling errors manually • flag unclear words instead of guessing • run a final completeness check before delivery Before confirming the exact hours, please share the total page count, document language, and one representative scan through Freelancer. For a small batch of clear pages, same-day delivery should be possible; I will confirm the exact turnaround after reviewing the sample. My bid is ₹750 INR per hour. I can begin once the files and payment verification are in place. Best regards Broco Development Services

Hi, I read through your brief since the deliverable is a single clean text file matching the original page order, verbatim accuracy and consistent proofreading are the real bar here, not just OCR software choice. I'll be upfront: my background is in banking/credit analysis and running an MSME food business, not dedicated OCR/transcription work. What's directly relevant is that my past roles required careful document handling and compliance-grade accuracy in written reporting but I haven't done this exact task type professionally. If you're open to it, I'd like to transcribe 1–2 sample pages from your scans first (no charge) so you can judge accuracy and formatting fit before committing. If it meets your bar, I'd propose ₹900/hour, billed against actual pages completed, with a short check-in after the first batch so you can flag any formatting adjustments early rather than at final sign-off. One question: roughly how many pages/scans total, and do the scans include any handwritten sections or is it all printed text? Happy to start with the sample whenever you're ready.

Hi, I can accurately transcribe your scanned printed documents into a clean Word or plain-text file while preserving the original page order, paragraph breaks, spelling, punctuation, and basic formatting. The best solution is to first review the scan quality, then use ABBYY FineReader, Adobe Acrobat, Google Vision, or manual typing depending on which gives the most accurate result. After extraction, I’ll proofread every page against the original scan and correct any OCR mistakes before submission. I’m comfortable with scanned document transcription, OCR tools, proofreading, Word formatting, plain-text preparation, image-based text extraction, and high-accuracy data entry. Deliverables will include: * Complete text transcription * Original page sequence preserved * Paragraph breaks and basic formatting * Accurate spelling and punctuation * OCR correction and proofreading * Notes for unclear text if found * One clean Word/plain-text document * Corrections for any verified mismatch I’ll focus on accuracy and completeness so the final document matches the scanned pages faithfully and is ready for immediate use.
