I have a manuscript that contains both handwritten notes and printed passages. I need every word transcribed accurately and supplied back to me as a clean, text-only PDF. Please mirror the original line breaks and paragraph spacing but do not add headings, styling, or images—the goal is a plain, readable document that faithfully represents the source material without visual extras. Accuracy matters more than speed; unusual spellings, strike-throughs, or marginal comments should be reproduced exactly as written. When you finish, deliver the final PDF and, if convenient, the editable text file you worked from so I can make future tweaks myself.

Your priority is a faithful text-only PDF that preserves the manuscript’s wording, line breaks and annotations. I propose a $20 paid first batch of up to five clear pages, capped at 1,500 words, with the scope agreed after reviewing one representative non-sensitive page. I would check the transcription against the source, flag unclear text rather than guess, and deliver the PDF plus an editable text file, including one consolidated correction round. Please confirm the total page count, language, and how you would like strike-throughs and marginal notes represented. Would you allow AI-assisted transcription and a script for PDF generation, with source-by-source checks? My proposed turnaround is two days after the files, notation rules, permitted workflow and funded milestone are agreed. The $20 covers only the agreed first batch; any additional work would require approval before starting.
