Paper Data Entry and Transcription
Budget: $50 – $0 USD
I need a detail-oriented professional to turn a collection of paper documents into clean, searchable digital files. The bulk of the work is straightforward data entry—typing names, numbers, and short notes into an Excel or Google Sheet exactly as they appear on the page. Whenever the papers contain paragraphs of free text, I’d like those sections transcribed verbatim into a Word document (general transcription, no medical or legal jargon involved).
You will receive high-resolution scans of the paperwork. Accuracy matters more than speed, so please keep original spelling and number formats intact and flag anything that’s hard to read.
Deliverables
• Formatted spreadsheet containing all tabular data
• Word file with the transcribed free-text sections
• Brief log of any unclear or illegible entries
If you already work with OCR tools such as Adobe Acrobat or ABBYY FineReader to speed things up, that’s great—just double-check the output before submission. I’d like to review an initial batch within 24 hours of kickoff so we can align on style, then proceed with the rest.
Let me know your anticipated turnaround time and the steps you take to guarantee accuracy. I’m ready to start as soon as you are.
