The work involves copy typing pages from a number of 17th century English volumes. These have been scanned to provide images of the pages at 600 dpi (though this can be reduced if necessary). I have tried using OCR software but the old style script and the inconsistencies in the font mean that the results are very poor. The words are perfectly readable but to someone unused to the old script and spelling it will take a little time to familiarise oneself with it. We require the text on a computer in a wordprocessor format (MS Word for Windows preferably) for later typesetting. A sample page is attached at 150 dpi is attached. As the work is extensive - we have at least 13,000 pages to processes, I would be happy to give training for the recgnition of the peculiarites of the old fonts used.
The project price depends on the number of volumes eventually contracted, but I would like quotes for processing 1,000 pages containing the same amount of text as the sample. The sample page image attached is typical.
Hello,
We have good knowledge in e-conversion so taking up your job will not be a problem. As we had worked on Math copy writing so we are familiar with all the font styles. Pls check PM for more details. Thanks.
my bid US$0.50 per page, 1,000 pages written in 30 days, guaranteed 100% error-free. simply provide the scanned pages and we will e-mail to you (or any addressee) the rewritten forms.
the sample is easily understandable and clear there should be no problem transcribing it into plain modern English words.
My bid is for 1000 pages. A quick type and very familiar with the old script text, I would be a perfect match to your project. Please review your PMB for more details.
Hi,$1 per Page. I think it is a realistic price. Please let me know about your time frame. It can be done in less time if the contract can be extended to 13k images. Please reply. I have posted a message in PMB to initiate communication. Thanks,(Naeem)
We can help you type your project at US$0.98 per page or a total of US$980 per 1,000 pages. If time is crucial to you, we can assign more staff on the project.
