I've worked as an audio transcriber and I currently do copy editing, so I'm a capable and accurate typist. I've checked the sample of your handwriting and can read it fairly easily, though I might need the spellings of some names checked. I am very familiar with using Word and 1 month is very doable for 6 months of diary pages. English is my first language and I have keep a diary myself for most of my life, using cursive writing in the past. I would prefer to be paid a lump sum for the project rather than keep a record of the hours spent, and I suggest USD300, though I'm open to negotiation.

Hello there! Are there any specific instructions or preferences you have regarding the transcription, aside from the lack of specific formatting or arrangement? Is there any specialized terminology, names, or terms in the diary that might require additional context or clarification during transcription? Are there any particular concerns or considerations regarding privacy or sensitive information in the diary that I should be aware of? Would you prefer the transcription to capture the exact wording and spelling from the handwritten pages, or should I make corrections for clarity and readability? Are there any specific details or events in the diary that you would like me to pay extra attention to during transcription?

Greetings of the day! Honestly, I think I might be the perfect fit for this job. First of all, I am a professional translator/transcriber with an excellent command of English and 8+ years of experience. Second, I have already participated in various projects related to the transcription of personal texts, meaning I do have the necessary knowledge on the subject. I am particularly good at deciphering handwritings, no matter how difficult or perplexing they might be. One of my biggest strengths is perfectionism - I am attentive and have a keen eye for detail, which is why the final result is going to be no less than spotless. And last but not least, I am responsible and always respect deadlines, so you will have the transcribed diary back as soon as you need it. Please feel free to reach out so that we could discuss the project in further detail. Best regards, Anastasiia Vakula
