Manual Web Content Extraction and Formatting
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
Project Proposal: Manual Data Entry and Document Formatting
Project Description
I am looking for a reliable and detail oriented freelancer to manually extract text from a specific website and compile it into a clean and well organized Microsoft Word document. Because the webpage contains multiple sidebars, ads, and navigation links, I am strictly looking for manual copy and paste work. I do not want an automated scraper used, to ensure absolute accuracy.
Source Website
All content is located on this index page: https://torah.org/series/ravfrand/
Task Breakdown
Navigate the Index: The provided link is organized by categories (like Bereishis, Noach, and Lech Lecha). Each category contains a list of article links.
Extract the Content: For every single article link on that page:
Click into the article.
Copy only the main body text of the teaching.
Strictly exclude all website headers, footers, sidebar links, "Donate" buttons, and audio player snippets.
Format in Word: Paste the extracted text into one single continuous Microsoft Word document.
Use "Heading 1" for the main category name (example: Bereishis).
Use "Heading 2" for the specific title of each article (example: A Tale Of Two Wives).
Insert a page break before starting a new main category.
Table of Contents: Once all articles are compiled, generate a clickable Table of Contents at the very beginning of the Word document using the built in Styles feature.
Scope of Work
I have already counted the exact number of links on the page. There are precisely 1,259 individual articles across 54 main categories and several holiday sections. This means you will be manually opening and copying exactly 1,259 links.
Deliverable
One Microsoft Word document containing all cleanly formatted and manually extracted text, ready for reading and printing.
Questions for the Freelancer (Please answer when applying):
What is your estimated timeline to complete this manual extraction of 1,259 links?
What is your flat rate for the entire project?
Can you provide a quick 3 page sample using the first few links under the Bereishis category so I can verify the formatting and text accuracy?
