I have a handwritten Hindi manuscript that runs well beyond 200 pages. Every page needs to be accurately re-typed in clear, error-free Unicode Hindi (Mangal or an equivalent mainstream font) and then laid out so the finished work looks like a professionally published book. Scope of work • Transcribe each handwritten page exactly, preserving original spellings, punctuation, shlok numbers and any embedded Sanskrit where it appears. • Apply clean hierarchy for chapter titles, section headers, verse/paragraph breaks, footnotes and page numbers. • Insert a generated table of contents that updates automatically. • Proof each chapter for typing mistakes and uniform formatting before moving on. Final deliverable A press-ready, searchable PDF that mirrors the handwritten source in content and sequence, with consistent margins, line spacing and chapter starts on new pages. Acceptance criteria • 99 % text accuracy when compared line-by-line with the original notes. • No orphaned headings or broken words at line ends. • All text embedded as Unicode (not outlines) so it remains copyable. Please keep your workflow in Word or Google Docs so I can leave comments if revisions are needed, but only the polished PDF needs to be delivered here.

Two things about this manuscript decide whether you get your 99%. The first is that handwritten Devanagari cannot be OCR'd to that standard. Conjuncts, matras and the Sanskrit passages defeat it, and shlok numbering comes back scrambled. Anyone quoting you a fast turnaround on 200-plus handwritten pages is almost certainly running OCR and cleaning the output, and it will fail your line-by-line check on exactly the passages you care most about. This has to be typed by hand and proofed by a second pass. I will not pretend otherwise to win the job. The second is the font. Mangal is fine on screen but it is a legacy face, and at print sizes its conjuncts and matra placement are noticeably weaker than a modern OpenType Devanagari such as Noto Serif Devanagari. Both are Unicode, so your PDF stays searchable and selectable either way. You asked for Mangal or a mainstream equivalent; I would show you a sample page in both before committing the book. On price and scope, honestly. Over 200 pages of manual typing, proofing, layout, generated table of contents and a press-ready PDF is not deliverable at the posted figure, and I would rather say that now than discover it at page 60. What I propose: a funded first milestone of 25 pages, including the chapter hierarchy, footnote handling and the TOC mechanism, delivered as a sample you check line by line against the original. If the accuracy holds, we agree a per-page rate for the remainder.

A handwritten manuscript of this length is a different job from typing printed pages, and I would rather say so plainly than quote a comfortable number and slip on it later. Handwriting means every character is read and typed by eye — there is no OCR shortcut that stays honest on matras, verse numbering and Sanskrit passages. So I would like to begin with a paid five-page sample, taken from the middle of the manuscript rather than the easiest pages. You judge it against the originals; if the accuracy is not where you want it we stop there and you have risked almost nothing. If it is, the remainder is funded as one milestone and I work through the book in numbered batches so you can watch it progress instead of waiting until the end. What you receive is Unicode Hindi in Mangal or Noto as an editable DOCX plus a press-ready PDF, with a table of contents that regenerates, consistent chapter and verse hierarchy, and page numbering that maps back to your source. To check it, I include an index pairing every manuscript page with its page in the output, and you pick any ten pages at random — each should match the original within a couple of character-level slips, and because the text is genuine Unicode you can search any word from the manuscript and land on it. Two questions before I commit to the schedule: how many pages is the manuscript exactly, and at full resolution are the scans clear enough to read the matras throughout, or are some pages faint or crowded?
