Overview We need accurate copy typing of scanned book pages into Microsoft Word. This is straightforward typing work — no formatting design, no layout, no rewriting. What's on the page goes into the document, exactly as it appears. Volume: 500 pages Format: Microsoft Word (.docx) Source: Clear scanned pages (provided as PDF/images) The Text The source material is a religious book containing both English and Latin text. Critical requirement: accents and special characters must be reproduced exactly. The Latin text contains many accented characters (á, é, í, ó, ú, æ, œ and similar). These are not optional and cannot be skipped, substituted, or approximated. A missing or wrong accent counts as an error. Spelling must match the source exactly — including older spellings and unusual words. Do not "correct" anything. If the source says something that looks wrong, type it as it appears. What You Need to Do Type the text from each scanned page into Word Reproduce all accented and special characters accurately Maintain paragraph breaks as they appear in the source Mark anything illegible with a clear placeholder rather than guessing Keep page order and page boundaries clearly identifiable What You Do NOT Need to Do No design, styling, or layout work No proofreading or correcting the original text No image handling No InDesign or design software required — Word only Quality Standard & Testing Procedure Please read this carefully before applying. Submitted work will be verified against the source pages. First submission — if verification finds more than 10 errors, the work is returned to you for correction and resubmission. Second submission — work is verified again. There is no third attempt. If the second submission still exceeds the error threshold, the engagement ends and no payment is released. Accents, special characters, spelling deviations, omitted words, and skipped lines all count as errors. We apply this consistently and we are clear about it upfront so there are no surprises. If you are not confident about reproducing Latin accents accurately at volume, this project is not a good fit — and that's absolutely fine. Who This Suits Fast, accurate typists with strong attention to detail Comfortable with accented/diacritical characters Able to work steadily through volume without quality drift Reliable communication and honest turnaround estimates To Apply Please tell us: Your experience with copy typing from scanned documents Whether you have typed text with accents/diacritics before (any language) Your rate per page, and your realistic daily page output Confirmation that you have read and accept the two-attempt quality procedure above We will select a small number of freelancers for this work.

Hello, I can accurately copy type your 500-page scanned religious book into Microsoft Word, preserving the source exactly as shown without rewriting, correcting, or interpreting the text. I can assist with: • Accurate transcription from clear scanned PDF/image pages • Careful reproduction of Latin accents, diacritics, æ, œ, and other special characters • Preserving original spelling, including older or unusual forms • Maintaining paragraph breaks and page order • Clearly marking genuinely illegible text instead of guessing • Keeping page boundaries identifiable for easy verification • Thorough page-by-page checking to reduce omissions and transcription errors I understand that accents, special characters, spelling differences, missing words, and skipped lines all count as errors. I also understand and accept the stated two-attempt quality verification procedure and would prioritize accuracy over rushing through the volume. I can provide a realistic daily output and per-page rate after reviewing a sample of the scanned pages, since scan clarity and Latin character complexity can affect both. I’m ready to review a sample and begin with the required workflow.

500 pages of English/Latin with old spellings and diacritics that's the kind of job where most typists start strong and lose accent accuracy by page 100 out of sheer fatigue, not skill. I work directly beside the scan, not from memory, and never "fix" a spelling that looks odd. My process is type a page, then a second pass just checking accents and unusual words before moving to the next, so mistakes get caught early instead of piling up. Anything unreadable gets a bracketed note, no guessing. I've handled accented text before and I'm genuinely fine with the two-attempt rule, I'd rather walk away upfront than hand in weak work. Rate is $0.50/page, around 25-30 pages a day realistically. Want a sample page done first so you can check my accuracy before committing to the full 500?

Daily output: 15–20 pages, depending on scan quality. I’ve read and accept your two-attempt quality procedure and understand the importance of accuracy. I’d be happy to type a few sample pages first.

Dear Client, Manually typing 500 page at this budget is not feasible. But I can perform OCR to fetch text. I will make sure all text is fetched correctly. I never compromise on client requirements, you will receive error free word documented. Looking forward for your text, kindly share your file over text. As you mentioned the source file is clear, then OCR will work best. Regards

I have 10+ years of experience in copy typing data entry, scanned-document transcription, Microsoft Word, and accuracy-focused document work. I’m comfortable working with large-volume projects where the requirement is to reproduce the source exactly as written rather than edit or “improve” it. I have worked with multilingual text and accented/diacritical characters, and I understand that in this project characters such as á, é, í, ó, ú, æ, and œ must be reproduced exactly. I will not modernize old spellings, correct unusual words, or guess at unclear text. My process will be: Manually type each scanned page into Word Preserve exact spelling, accents, special characters, and paragraph breaks Keep page boundaries clearly identifiable and in the correct order Mark genuinely illegible text with an agreed placeholder instead of guessing Compare each completed page against the scan before considering it finished Perform an additional check specifically for Latin diacritics, omissions, skipped lines, and spelling differences Rate: $0.5 per page, negotiable depending on a sample page and overall density. I have carefully read and accept your two-attempt quality procedure, including the requirement that the second submission must remain within the stated error threshold. I’m available to start immediately and can complete a small sample first so you can verify my accuracy before assigning the full 500 pages. Best regards Aaqib
