Convert two binders of typed documents (with light handwritten annotations) into fully formatted, print-ready Word documents. Volume 1 (303 pp): OCR draft exists — must be checked line by line against the scans and corrected; apply all handwritten edits. Volume 2 (331 pp): Create OCR from the scans, then verify word by word; apply all handwritten edits. Source Material Volume Current form Work required Pages Vol. 1 PDF scans + rough OCR draft Verify against scans; apply annotations; correct OCR errors 303 Vol. 2 PDF scans (typed originals + annotations) OCR → full verification; apply annotations; correct OCR errors 331 Requirements Language: UK English; preserve historical spellings unless annotations correct them. Layout fidelity: Recreate original headings, spacing, indents, line breaks, and page breaks; only reflow within a paragraph when necessary. Letters/correspondence: Keep line numbering/line breaks for address blocks, salutations, etc. Original page numbers: Do not carry over or mark original pagination. Annotations: Apply all handwritten annotations into the main text and log them. Names/consistency: Fix OCR/name errors using context across both volumes; flag uncertainties. Tables/figures/stamps: Recreate as native Word where practical; embed images if exact reproduction is required. Indexing: Create a new index for both volumes (no “one-line per entry” rule). Where entries are truncated in the source, locate the referenced item by old page number and reconstruct; flag uncertainties. Deliverables (DOCX only) Vol. 1 & Vol. 2: DOCX with Track Changes (all corrections and applied annotations visible). Clean print-ready DOCX (accepted changes). Change log (DOCX table): page/paragraph, original, change applied (handwriting/OCR correction), note if uncertain. Issues list (DOCX): any [illegible] or unresolved queries with page references. Acceptance Criteria 100% of pages verified against scans; all annotations applied. High fidelity to original layout; only intra-paragraph reflow. UK English; historical spellings preserved unless corrected by annotations. All non-trivial edits traceable via Track Changes and the change log. Any [illegible] items listed in the Issues list. What to include in your bid Brief on similar “scan → OCR → verified Word” work and QA workflow. OCR tools/process you’ll use (your choice; responsible for quality). Proposed timeline for completing both volumes. Fixed price (preferred) or hourly with a cap. Availability for quick Q&A during the job. Admin Confidentiality/NDA: Not required. Deadline: Bidder to propose. Budget: Bidder to propose. Files provided: PDFs for both volumes + the existing OCR draft for Vol. 1 (shared after award).
