OCR processing of old magazines
$30-250 USD
Paid on delivery
We need to process existing PDF files of old magazines - they must be OCRed and converted to clean HTML. Please find enclosed sample of what you will be dealing with. If you are interested in this job, please submit a processed result of the attached sample.
Please also state what OCR software you use and what version. You MUST use an OCR software, no typing is allowed.
The result MAY NOT contain headers, footers and page numbers from the magazine, just clean text with only very basic formatting - such that would be suitable for publishing on a web site i.e. bold, italics, underline should be preserved, paragraphs, headings, basic tables, uppercase, lowercase, upper index and lower index should be preserved, every other formatting (text flow, columns, weird fonts, page numbers etc.) should be discarded. The desired result is clean readable text with clean formatting.
The result must be in clean HTML (such as that produced by [url removed, login to view] - you can use that if you wish or anything else you prefer) and separated into single concise articles.
The most important consideration - the result should be as typo-free as humanly possible. You are not supposed to check for grammatical correctness, just that the recognized text is the same as in the source file. You MAY correct an obvious typo in the original text, but don't have to.
IMPORTANT:
Bid as if for 400 pages of text (the actual sizes of the files vary). Maximum acceptable price is $0.12 per page as in the included example. If your price is higher than this, please DO NOT BID. In order to qualify, you need to submit processed sample file (in clean HTML) AND your price must be less or equal $0.12 per page. No negotiations. Offers not meeting these criteria WILL BE IGNORED.
We will select several providers for this job as we have many files to process. This can turn into a long-term job for you, if you can deliver.
Thank you for looking!
