Handwritten Data to Database
Budget: $2 – $8 USD
I have a collection of handwritten records that mix text descriptions with numerical figures, and I need every line faithfully transcribed straight into my database. Accuracy is critical—names, dates, codes, quantities, and any notes must move over exactly as they appear in the originals.
You will receive high-resolution scans of the documents. Your task is to read each page, interpret the handwriting, and enter the information directly into the database tables I provide (MySQL via phpMyAdmin, though I can export a CSV template if that is easier for you to edit offline).
Key points:
• Mixed content: both words and numbers on almost every line
• Source is entirely handwritten, so a good eye for varying scripts is essential
• I will run spot-checks; any field left uncertain should be flagged for verification rather than guessed
Deliverable: a fully populated database table that mirrors the structure I supply, plus a brief log noting pages or fields you found ambiguous. Once the log is cleared, the job is done.
