Optical Character Recognition, or OCR, is the process of recognising text within images and digital documents in order to transform it into a machine-readable format. An OCR Developer, therefore, works to build software to recognise text from within an image or document. This can be extremely useful when it comes to recognising text from a range of documents, such as bank checks, photos and other files, allowing quick and easy data collection and management, as well as data extraction for a range of purposes.

No tables to preserve and no special column mapping—just a clean, continuous list of the text exactly as it appears. Accuracy is my top priority, so I’ll do a quick spot-check once you’re done; feel free to use any reliable OCR or manual copy-typing approach that keeps errors to a minimum. You’ll deliver one .xlsx file containing all extracted text in a single column. Let me know your turnaround time and any clarifying questions you might have before you start.
I have a collection of handwritten Hindi notes that I now need in an editable Microsoft Word (.docx) file. The pages are clean, clearly written, and easy to read, so the main task is accurate Hindi typing rather than deciphering poor handwriting. A few lines include special elements—occasional superscripts, underlines, and small symbols—so those must appear exactly as they do in the originals. You may use any Unicode-compliant Hindi keyboard layout you prefer (InScript, Remington, Google Input Tool, etc.) as long as the final document opens flawlessly in Word with standard fonts such as Mangal or Nirmala UI. Automatic OCR won’t capture everything cleanly, so manual verification is essential. Deliverables: • A neatly formatted .docx file that mirrors the original st...
Project Overview We are seeking an experienced Full-Stack Developer or Development Team to design and build a modern, AI-powered, multi-tenant web application for commercial driver recruiting, pre-qualification, application processing, and onboarding readiness. This is Module 01 of a larger transportation management and compliance platform. The application must be highly customizable, scalable, mobile-friendly, intuitive, and designed to minimize manual data entry. Our objective is to develop an innovative system that automates repetitive recruiting tasks, maintains permanent driver histories, improves recruiting efficiency, and prepares applicants for regulatory qualification and onboarding. Core Features & Requirements 1. Recruiting CRM & Permanent Driver Records - Search e...
I have fewer than ten PDFs that contain text-only tables and paragraphs which must be transferred into an Excel workbook. Accuracy is paramount: every character from the source files has to appear in the spreadsheet exactly as written, without typos or omissions. I will provide a sample file and a template that shows the exact column order, cell merging, font style, and header formatting I need. Follow that layout for each remaining file so the final sheets line up perfectly for later consolidation. The workflow I expect: • Open each PDF, copy or OCR the text if required, and paste it into the designated Excel columns. • Apply the template’s styles—headings, bold labels, wrapped text, and any conditional formatting already built into the sample. • Double-ch...
I have a batch of English-language documents that were scanned and saved as PNG files. I simply need the written content lifted out of each image and returned to me as clean, editable text—free of line-break quirks and obvious OCR errors. Accuracy matters more than speed; please proof what the software gives you so the final copy matches the source word-for-word. A straightforward text file (or one Word document per image) is all I’m after. If you already work with Tesseract, Adobe Acrobat, or a similar OCR tool—and you’re comfortable tidying up the output—I’d like to hear from you.
I have a handwritten Hindi manuscript that has been scanned into a single PDF. I need every page typed in Hindi and returned to me as a new PDF that mirrors the look and layout of the original. Headings, paragraph breaks, page numbers—everything must stay exactly where it is now, only in clean, selectable text. You will receive: • One source PDF containing the handwritten pages. I expect back: • A final, fully-typed Hindi PDF whose formatting matches the source page for page. Unicode fonts such as Mangal or any standard Devanagari font are fine as long as the output displays correctly on any system. Feel free to use OCR for speed, but every character must be proof-read; accuracy is critical.
I have a collection of PDFs that hold unstructured paragraph text only—there are no tables or images involved. I need every page converted into fully editable Word files (and, where it makes sense, plain-text columns in Excel) with no styling carried over; simple, clean text is all I’m after. Accuracy is critical: any OCR slips, missing characters, or broken paragraph breaks will require revision, so please proof your output before delivery. Deliverables • One Word (.docx) file per source PDF, containing the plain text in the original reading order • A matching Excel (.xlsx) sheet when the text naturally separates into rows or sections (otherwise leave Excel blank) I will supply the PDFs as soon as we start and would like the first converted sample back q...
I need a clean, accurate Excel sheet created from a stack of handwritten notes that mix numbers with descriptive text. Customer names, addresses, order quantities, prices—everything must be transcribed exactly as written and placed into clearly labeled columns. Timing is critical. I’d like the first complete draft within the next 24–48 hours so I can review, then a swift final pass for any tweaks I mark up. Please keep the original order of the notes, standardise dates, retain leading zeros, and avoid auto-formatting that could alter the data. Deliver the finished workbook in .xlsx format only. Acceptance criteria: • Every handwritten entry appears exactly once. • Text and numeric values match the source 100 %. • File opens error-free and contains no...
I have a batch of scanned documents that need to be turned into clean, editable text. All content is purely textual—no tables or numbers—so the focus is accurate transcription and basic formatting that matches the original layout (paragraph breaks, headings, line breaks where obvious). The workflow is straightforward: • Open each scanned file (images/PDFs supplied after award), either run your preferred OCR tool or type manually. • Proof-read every line; I expect at least 99 % accuracy and no omissions. • Deliver the compiled text in a single Word file (docx) or, if you prefer, a plain-text file with clear section breaks. Before hand-off, please spot-check for spelling, obvious scan artefacts, and stray line endings. Feel free to use any OCR software&mdash...
I have a batch of digital PDF files that hold mixed information—text fields alongside numerical figures—that must be faithfully transferred into a structured spreadsheet (Excel or CSV, whichever you prefer). Accuracy is paramount: every character and number must mirror the original, with columns clearly labeled and totals untouched. You will receive the PDFs in organized folders; simply read, key in the data, and return a clean, well-formatted file ready for immediate use in our internal reporting. A quick turnaround is welcome, but not at the expense of precision. If you use tools such as Adobe Acrobat, OCR utilities, or data-capture macros, let me know; I’m open to any workflow that guarantees reliable results. Deliverable: one consolidated spreadsheet containing ...
I have a batch of PDF files that need their text content lifted out and saved as clean .txt files. The most important pieces for me are the headings and titles—those must be captured accurately and appear first in each output file—followed by the remaining text in the order it appears in the source. Scope • Open each supplied PDF. • Copy-paste (or use a reliable extractor) to pull every line of text. • Make sure each new PDF generates its own plain-text file with the same base filename. • Headings/titles should be clearly separated—either by an empty line or a simple label—so I can spot them instantly. • No images, tables, or formatting tags are needed; just raw, readable text. Acceptance criteria • One .txt file per PDF, ...
I have around 400 pages of handwritten notes and PDFs in Hindi that span the full Arithmetic and Advanced Mathematics syllabus for Railway exams (NTPC, Group D, ALP, etc.). I need every page turned into a professional, print-ready manuscript. Use either MS Word with the built-in Equation Editor or, even better, LaTeX if you are comfortable with it. All equations, fractions, step-by-step solutions, shortcuts and multiple-choice questions must appear exactly as in the source, laid out cleanly so the files can go straight to a publisher without further rework. Deliverables • A fully typed file (.docx or .tex) plus a compiled PDF. • Consistent chapter and sub-heading hierarchy, question numbering, and margin settings suitable for standard book trim size. • Equations that...
J’ai un document PDF de plus de 51 pages rédigé en français et composé quasi exclusivement de texte. Je souhaite recevoir une version .docx entièrement éditable qui respecte la structure d’origine : titres, sauts de paragraphe, gras/italique, numérotation et en-têtes ou pieds de page éventuels. Vous devrez : • effectuer l’OCR si le texte n’est pas déjà sélectionnable ; • vérifier que les caractères spéciaux et accents restent corrects ; • livrer un fichier Word stable, sans éléments déformés ni images déplacées. Je n’attends qu’un seul livrable : le fichier Word final prêt à ê...
I have a set of handwritten class notes that include several sketched-out tables. I need everything turned into a single, clean PDF that is both searchable and visually faithful to the originals. Here is exactly what I’m after: each page should show a clear scan of the handwritten content while the underlying layer contains accurately transcribed text, so the document can be searched, copied, and indexed. Whenever a table appears, I want it rebuilt as an editable table—no flat images—so I can later adjust numbers or copy rows directly out of the PDF. In short, every table needs to behave as a normal table once the file is opened in Acrobat or any modern reader. Accuracy matters more than speed; line breaks, headings, and any underlining should be mirrored so the final P...
I am looking for an experienced freelancer to convert PDF documents into editable Microsoft Word files while maintaining the original content and formatting as accurately as possible. Requirements - Convert the provided PDF files into editable Microsoft Word (.docx) documents. - Preserve the original text, headings, paragraphs, tables, numbering, and overall document structure. - Maintain formatting such as fonts, alignment, spacing, margins, and page breaks wherever possible. - Ensure that no text is missing, duplicated, or incorrectly converted. - Carefully proofread the converted document against the original PDF. - Check tables, bullet points, numbering, headers, footers, and other important elements. - If the PDF contains scanned pages, OCR may be used, but the output must be manually...
I have a batch of unstructured PDF files in which every page is basically a screenshot that contains text. I need the text pulled out with basic accuracy, organised into a simple, query-friendly data store, and returned so I can run searches and filters on it later. Here’s how I picture the workflow: • Run OCR on each screenshot page (Tesseract, Adobe OCR, or any tool you trust) and capture whatever text the engine can reliably identify. Because I only require basic accuracy, occasional missed or garbled characters are acceptable as long as most of the content is captured. • Push the extracted text into a straightforward structure—CSV, SQLite, or MySQL are all fine. One row per page with fields for file name, page number, and the raw OCR output will meet my needs. ...
I need the text pulled from a set of PDFs that are laid out in multiple columns and pasted into an Excel workbook. Only the words matter—no images or tables—so you can ignore any non-text elements entirely. Because this job is mainly about speed, I am comfortable with a few typos or column misalignments as long as the overall content lands in the correct rows and sheets. Feel free to use whichever combination of OCR tools or manual copy-paste you prefer, as long as you deliver a single, clearly structured .xlsx file containing all of the extracted text.
I have several PDFs filled with unstructured, free-form text that need to be converted into clean, reliable records ready for direct import into my database. Your task is to extract every relevant piece of text accurately, normalise it where necessary, and deliver it in a structured format (CSV or Excel) that maps neatly to the fields I will provide. Because the source files are not organised into tidy sections, you will need solid experience with OCR tools or advanced PDF extraction techniques, plus a sharp eye for detail to spot line breaks, merged words, and other quirks that often appear in free-form layouts. A light amount of data cleaning is expected so the final sheet is free of duplicates, obvious typos, and inconsistent capitalisation. I will supply: • The PDFs • A f...
I have a PDF made up of scanned, non-editable pages. I need every word re-typed, not OCR-scraped, into a plain .txt file while keeping the same line breaks, spacing, and paragraph flow you see on the original pages. Accuracy is everything—spelling, punctuation, and the page-by-page structure must match what’s on the scan. When you finish, send back a single UTF-8 text file that mirrors the original layout so I can drop it straight into my workflow without extra cleanup. Let me know how quickly you can start and your estimated turnaround for the full transcription.

I have a collection of scanned PDF files that contain purely text content and need every word transcribed into an editable digital format. The scans do not allow copy-and-paste, so each page has to be either re-typed or passed through OCR and then meticulously proof-read. Accuracy is paramount; I will spot-check against the originals. Here’s how I’d like the work delivered: • One Word or Google Doc per PDF, named to match the source file. • Original paragraph breaks, headings, and basic emphasis (bold/italics) retained. • No added or missing text, including page numbers and footnotes when they appear. Please tell me how many pages you can handle per day and whether you prefer straight manual typing or an OCR-plus-edit workflow. I’m ready to start as s...
I have a collection of paper-based legal documents that must be brought into the digital age. The job is straightforward but detail-critical: each sheet needs to be scanned at high resolution, run through reliable OCR so the resulting PDF is fully searchable, and then filed chronologically. Accuracy of the text layer is essential because these files will feed directly into our internal search system for future legal reference. Here is how I see the flow: • You receive (or I can securely transfer) the paper originals. • You scan them, apply OCR—Adobe Acrobat Pro, ABBYY FineReader, or an equally accurate tool is fine—then export to PDF with the text layer embedded. • You name and sort each PDF strictly by date so the final folder tree mirrors the original tim...
I have a collection of scanned books and need their text transferred into an editable document while preserving the original layout, headings, bold/italic emphasis, footnotes—everything exactly as it appears on the page. The task is straightforward copy-paste typing, yet accuracy is critical because I want the final file to look and read just like the source. You will receive high-resolution scans (PDF). Your job is to extract the text—whether you re-type it or run OCR and then proofread is up to you—but the delivered file must retain the same formatting. I’m looking for clean, error-free text in the same order, with page breaks, paragraphs, and any special characters intact. Please tell me how quickly you can turn around each book and what tools or methods you pr...
I have a batch of text-based material that now has to live in Excel for easier sorting and analysis. The source files arrive in mixed formats—some clean digital pages, other scans that may need light OCR, and the occasional handwritten line that still reads clearly enough to be typed. Here is what I need from you: take every legible piece of text I provide, enter it into an Excel workbook, and keep the information consistent in spelling, capitalisation, and column order. I will give you a brief key that shows which fields belong in which columns; everything else follows naturally from the source. If a note is unreadable, simply flag it in a separate “Issues” column so nothing slips through unnoticed. The finished workbook should open in the latest desktop version of...
I have a collection of scanned PDFs that contain a mix of printed and handwritten text. I need every word from each page captured faithfully in a single, well-structured Excel spreadsheet. Accuracy matters more to me than speed, so please double-check any OCR output and re-type anything the software cannot read—especially the handwritten sections. Deliverable: • One Excel file, neatly organized (one row per record or per page—whichever proves most logical), with no stray line breaks, merged cells, or missing characters. If you have solid experience combining OCR tools with careful manual proofreading, I’d like to hear how you plan to tackle the handwritten portions and maintain consistency throughout the sheet.
I need several PDFs that contain only text re-typed by hand into an editable file. Copy-and-paste tricks or OCR can miss characters, so manual entry with a careful eye is essential. You’ll receive the source PDFs as soon as we start. Please reproduce every word, keeping paragraph breaks, headings, and simple emphasis (bold or italics) exactly as they appear. No need to recreate images or complex layouts—clean, accurate text is what matters. Proof-read your work against the original before delivering and flag anything that is hard to read. You may return the finished content as a Word document, Google Doc, or plain TXT—whichever suits your workflow—as long as the text is fully selectable and editable. I’d like to review the first file within 24 hours to conf...
I have a small batch of scanned pages—no more than ten in total—that I need turned into a clean, typed PDF. The job is straightforward: read the images and re-type the content exactly as it appears. I am not asking for elaborate layouts or design; just “normal typing” with basic paragraph breaks so the document is clear and easy to read. Accuracy is critical, so I’ll be checking spelling, punctuation, and line breaks against the originals. Once the text is typed, please export it to a searchable PDF and send that file back to me (a Word copy is welcome, but optional). If you have experience with manual data entry, basic OCR cleanup, Microsoft Word, and saving to Adobe-compatible PDF, this should be a quick turnaround.
I have a batch of PDF files and need every relevant detail copied accurately into a well-structured Excel workbook. The PDFs contain a mixture of text and tables, arranged in a fairly predictable way once you see a couple of examples. Your job is to read through each file, lift the information without error, and place it into the spreadsheet template I will provide—one row per record, columns matching the original labels. Quality matters more than speed. Figures, dates and names must be transferred exactly as shown in the source, and numeric fields must remain usable for calculations once they land in Excel (no stray spaces or hidden characters). I’ll spot-check several random entries before approving the file. Deliverables: • Completed Excel file populated with all da...
I have a set of PDF documents that each contain contact information presented as straightforward lists. Every entry in these lists must be transferred into a structured Excel spreadsheet so the data can be searched, filtered, and shared with colleagues. The job is simple but demands accuracy: each contact’s name, phone number, email address, and any other details shown in the PDFs need to line up in clearly labeled columns in Excel. No re-formatting of the source files is required—just precise data entry. If you prefer to use OCR to speed things up, that’s fine so long as you manually verify every field for typos or mismatches. Deliverable: • One Excel (.xlsx) file containing all contacts, fully cross-checked against the source PDFs. I will supply the PDFs immedia...
I have a series of scanned PDFs that contain purely text content. Your task is to transcribe every word with absolute accuracy and deliver it back to me in an editable digital format. The scans are clean but still require a careful eye; automated OCR alone will not meet my quality bar, so I expect you to review and correct any recognition errors before submission. A clear, consistent layout that mirrors the original document is important to me. Deliverable: • A final, proof-read text file (Word or plain TXT—let me know which you prefer) that matches the PDFs exactly. I will share a small test page first so we can confirm style, turnaround time, and accuracy. Once approved, you’ll receive the full batch.
I have several short, printed-text documents—each no more than five pages—that I need turned into clean, searchable PDFs right away. Every page must mirror the original layout, with all images or small graphics in their correct spots and the text accurately reproduced (OCR or manual entry is fine as long as the result is selectable). Here’s what I expect from you: • A separate, high-resolution PDF for each source document • Embedded images/graphics positioned just like the original pages • Consistent fonts, headings, and paragraph spacing so the files look professional • Delivery of the final PDFs plus the working files you used (Word, InDesign, or similar) in case quick edits are needed later Speed matters on this job, but I won’t sacrif...
I have a set of images containing neatly printed handwriting that I need converted into clean, searchable text and returned to me as finished PDF files. Because the writing is printed, accuracy should be high, and I expect the PDFs to preserve the original layout while allowing the text layer to be selectable and copy-friendly. You are free to choose the recognition engine or workflow—Tesseract, ABBYY, Google Vision, or any other tool you trust—so long as the final result meets these simple acceptance criteria: all characters legible, no missing lines, and the PDF opens without errors on any standard reader. Turnaround time and any interim checkpoints are flexible; just let me know what you need. Once you receive the images from me, you return a single merged PDF (or individu...
I have a series of scanned images that contain purely textual information. Your task is to reproduce that text exactly as it appears, free of errors, in a digital format I can edit—Word or Google Docs is fine, as long as spelling, line breaks, and any simple formatting (bold, italics, headings) match the source. Accuracy is everything here; I will run a quick spot-check against the originals, so please proof-read carefully before submitting. If you have OCR tools in your workflow (Adobe Acrobat, Tesseract, ABBYY FineReader, etc.) feel free to use them, but make sure to manually verify the output. When you apply, link me to similar text-only transcription jobs you have completed so I can gauge quality. A short sample page will be provided once we begin, and I will release payment wh...
I need several scanned PDFs turned into perfectly matched Excel workbooks. Each source file contains images of tabular data, so solid OCR skills alone are not enough—I also expect meticulous manual proof-reading to guarantee zero transcription errors. You may use Adobe Acrobat Pro, ABBYY FineReader, Tesseract, or any other combination of tools, as long as the finished spreadsheets reproduce the original layout, numerical values, and text exactly. Deliverables • One .xlsx file per PDF, named to mirror the original • 100 % text and number accuracy, including headers, footnotes, and currency symbols Acceptance criteria • Random spot-checks show no discrepancies • Column order and calculated totals match the scan precisely If you have a proven track record...
