Data Entry Clerk needed on a Project
Budget: $3,000 – $5,000 USD
I have a batch of text-only PDF files that must be transcribed with complete accuracy into our central spreadsheet. All the data is already typed—there’s no handwriting involved—so the work is purely copy-and-paste or re-keying where copy protection prevents direct extraction.
You’ll open each PDF, capture every word exactly as it appears (capitalisation, punctuation, line breaks where they matter) and place it into the matching rows and columns of the template I’ll provide. If a PDF contains headers, footers or page numbers, keep them in separate fields so I can filter them out later.
Speed is welcome, but accuracy is critical. I’ll run random spot checks; anything below 99 % fidelity will need revisiting. To make the workflow smooth I can share the PDFs via Google Drive and the spreadsheet in Excel or Google Sheets—whichever you prefer. Basic familiarity with Adobe Acrobat, OCR tools or similar utilities will help when text can’t be copied directly.
Deliverables
• Completed spreadsheet with every PDF transcribed
• A brief log noting any illegible sections or anomalies
• Confirmation that spell-check and formatting reviews were done before submission
I’m ready to assign this immediately and expect the first milestone (initial five PDFs) within 24 hours so we can confirm everything looks right before you proceed with the remainder.
