Prompt Engineer & Developer for Custom ChatGPT (myGPT) for OCR Error Correction in Long Documents

Job ID: 38672039

Budget: $30 – $250 USD

We are looking for an experienced freelancer to develop, test, and refine prompts for use in ChatGPT that will assist in correcting OCR (Optical Character Recognition) errors in large historical documents. Additionally, we require the freelancer to create a custom ChatGPT (myGPT) to which we can upload scanned documents (PDF) and the OCR-generated text file for error correction.

This project focuses on creating workflows and a custom tool that allows ChatGPT to correct OCR errors across large historical texts, ensuring smooth processing of long documents without random skips or crashes. The custom tool should allow us to upload the original scanned book (PDF) and the OCR-generated Word document, with outputs generated in clean MS Word format.

The problems we have encountered in ChatGPT are:

1. ChatGPT will stop working as soon as we step away from the computer (these tasks take several hours to complete)
2. ChatGPT will assure us that they will continue working without the need for further interaction, but work will be paused regardless
3. ChatGPT will be able to generate a MS Word file sometimes, but not every time
4. Breaking the project down into very small sections (eg 2 pages) results in unnecessary work piecing the files back together manually.
5. ChatGPT will skip random sections
6. ChatGPT will pause work and ask if we want it to continue generating despite our instructions not to do so.

Responsibilities:

Prompt Engineering: Develop and test ChatGPT prompts to streamline OCR error correction in large documents.
Custom ChatGPT Development: Build a user-friendly "myGPT" tool that allows for direct document uploads of scanned PDF files and OCR-processed Word documents.
Implement mechanisms to ensure ChatGPT handles text in sections, outputs completed sections in MS Word files incrementally (up to 20 separate files), and does not skip or stop unexpectedly.
Ensure the custom ChatGPT can work in the background without needing constant supervision.
Test and refine the tool to ensure efficient processing of large documents, avoiding common issues like skipped sections, halting mid-process, or formatting errors.
Incremental File Output: Ensure that the tool saves progress as it works, outputting each completed section of the document as a separate MS Word file for real-time monitoring. This should allow up to 20 file outputs in total, based on the document size.
Documentation: Provide clear instructions on how to use the custom myChatGPT for future OCR correction tasks, including how to upload files, use the prompts, and download the corrected output.

Skills Required:

Experience with ChatGPT prompt engineering, particularly for long-document processing and error correction.
Strong skills in AI tool development and customization, especially in creating user-friendly tools for non-technical users.
Knowledge of OCR processes and common challenges in converting and correcting text from scanned documents.
Programming experience to build a custom ChatGPT interface that integrates with file upload and output functionalities.
Familiarity with Microsoft Word for document formatting, file handling, and output requirements.
Problem-solving skills for ensuring smooth operation of large text processing with minimal intervention.

Deliverables:

A custom myChatGPT tool that allows for uploading scanned PDF files and OCR-processed Word documents for correction.
A set of well-tested ChatGPT prompts optimized for handling OCR error correction tasks on large documents.

Project Timeline:

Completion within 3-4 weeks.

Budget:

Please provide your rate for developing the custom myChatGPT tool, prompt engineering, and testing, along with any associated costs for ongoing support.
