I have a set of Tamil-language PDFs that need to be turned into clean, Unicode text. Your task is to reproduce every word exactly as it appears, preserving basic headings and paragraph breaks so the output is easy to read. Accuracy is critical—missed characters or spelling slips won’t pass review. You may use whichever Tamil typing tool you prefer—Bamini, Latha, Google Input Tools, etc.—so long as the final text is delivered in UTF-8-encoded .docx or .txt files. Turnaround expectations • I send batches of roughly 30–40 pages. • Each batch should come back within 48 hours. • Let me know your realistic daily capacity when you apply. Deliverables • Page-by-page Unicode Tamil text matching the source PDF • A note listing any words that were illegible, marked with the relevant page number • Final files in both .docx and .txt formats I will audit the first batch within 24 hours; steady accuracy of 99 % or better will lead to ongoing work. If you have prior examples of Tamil transcription from PDFs, feel free to share a short sample. Looking forward to working together on this.

Hello, I am a native Tamil speaker from Sri Lanka with experience in transcription, data entry, and converting scanned documents into editable text. I have completed similar transcription projects for authors and students with a strong focus on accuracy and consistency. I will not rely only on OCR. I have worked with many documents where OCR could not recognize Tamil text correctly, so I manually verify and type the content to ensure 100% accuracy. I will preserve headings, paragraph breaks, and formatting, and I will clearly flag any illegible words with the relevant page numbers. Please message me with the PDF files so I can review the scope. Once I see the number of pages, I can confirm my daily capacity, timeline, and pricing and start immediately. Thank you.
