Document Text Extraction & German Translation
Budget: $15 – $25 USD
I have a collection of documents from which I need the full text pulled out accurately and then rendered in natural-sounding German. The raw files are a mix of typical office formats—think PDFs and the occasional Word file—though you may propose another workflow if it speeds things up without compromising quality.
Here is what I expect from you:
• A clean, well-structured text file (UTF-8) containing the exact wording extracted from each source document.
• A second file with that same content translated into German, faithful in meaning yet idiomatic in style.
• A brief note on the tools or libraries you used—whether that’s Adobe Acrobat, Tesseract OCR, Python pdfplumber, or another solution—so I can replicate or audit the process later.
I care most about accuracy (no dropped sentences, no mistranslations) and a straightforward turnaround. If you spot any sections that require manual correction—tables, footnotes, or embedded images—flag them and include your proposed handling in your reply.
Once both files read smoothly side by side, the task is done.
