Job ID: 38671934

Budget: $250 – $750 USD

We are looking for a detail-oriented freelancer experienced in correcting OCR (Optical Character Recognition) errors, specifically using AI tools. The project involves reviewing and correcting the text from a 600-page scanned book on Bermuda's flora. The text has been processed using OCR software, but many errors remain due to the book's age and formatting.

Responsibilities:

Review the OCR-processed text of a 600-page book.
Correct all OCR errors to ensure the text matches the original scanned book, focusing on accurate botanical terms, names, and symbols.
Use AI tools (like ChatGPT, Grammarly, or other text-editing software) to expedite corrections while ensuring accuracy.
Pay special attention to formatting, such as footnotes, italics, botanical nomenclature, and symbols used in measurements.
Ensure the final document is clean, well-formatted, and consistent with the original structure.

Skills Required:

Strong attention to detail and experience with proofreading and editing.
Familiarity with OCR software and AI-assisted text correction tools.
Knowledge of botanical terminology is a plus.
Ability to work with MS Word and deliver the corrected text in .docx format.

Deliverables: A fully corrected, accurately transcribed version of the book in MS Word format, matching the original scanned version.

Project Timeline: Completion within 2-3 weeks from the start date.

Budget: Please provide your rate based on the entire project, including any AI tool usage fees.
