I have a printed manuscript that alternates between English paragraphs and their Tamil equivalents. I need every word transcribed into a clean, editable Word document while preserving the original language order, page breaks, and any italic or bold emphasis that appears in the source. Accuracy is crucial—especially for Tamil diacritics and punctuation—because the file will move straight to a designer once it leaves your hands. You may work from high-resolution scans or the physical pages, whichever you find easier; I can supply both. Please proof-read as you type so the draft is ready for layout without a second pass. Deliverables: • A DOCX file with identical pagination to the print version • A matching PDF export for quick reference • A brief change log noting any illegible words you could not verify I will review your first ten pages within 24 hours of receipt to confirm style and accuracy, then you can proceed with the remaining pages.

The task requires direct transcription and careful proofing of bilingual content with attention to Tamil diacritics and formatting. I will prepare the Word document preserving original pagination, styles, and language sequence, producing a reference PDF and change log with notes on unreadable text. Quality checks will ensure project-ready output for designers without rework. My approach balances precision in language handling with efficient page layout replication. What is the typical manuscript length and preferred method for receiving the high-resolution scans or physical pages?

Hello, I am a native Tamil speaker from Sri Lanka with experience in Tamil and English transcription. I have completed similar projects for authors and students, including scanned and printed documents. I will manually type and proofread every page, preserving the original English-Tamil order, page breaks, bold/italic formatting, punctuation, and Tamil characters accurately. I will not rely only on OCR, especially for Tamil text where OCR can produce errors. I am available to start the project. Please send the sample pages so I can review them and start immediately. Thank you.
