I have a PDF file (it is an old book which is in the public domain), which you can actually see here: [login to view URL] Since this book was published in 1919, there are obviously no digital copies of the text, however that is what I would like. I would like someone to type or OCR the book and return to me a copy of the text. (If you do OCR there will need to be manual correction afterwards because I know OCR is error prone). Please note that this is probably a larger project than the average one on freelancer. The book is 115 pages long (I don't need the appendix, index, or introduction). There are also the occasional stray words in Hebrew in the text. If you can't type in Hebrew, you will need to cut and paste the characters one by one from a Hebrew keyboard online (google translate has one that works well). In terms of formatting, I want everything in plain text. That means formatting should be handled with tags (I don't care if you use XML or something you make up). For example, here's how I would do the beginning of page 1:
<title>psalm 1</title>
<line>1</line>
<bold>Happy the man!</bold>
<text>The word אשרי is always used in the plural, the reason being that man is not pronounced "happy" for one good which is found in him, or for one piece of good fortune which befalls him,...</text>
Since this is a large project I'm happy to pay in pieces as you deliver it to me. In fact I would prefer this because I will want to make sure things are going well. There is not a big time crunch for this - I'm much more concerned with the overall cost than with doing this quickly.
Requirements:
1 - I need the text from all 115 pages of the book, and it must be 100% accurate. This includes punctuation and words in Hebrew.
2 - I need the final product to include some sort of markup in plain text format that indicates which words were in bold, which words were titles, and which words were the line numbers.
Dear Employer,
>>To prove you have actually read the project description, please explain how you plan on handling the Hebrew words in your response.?
Ans: Google "Derash in Hebrew translation" will give the Hebrew translated word.
***[login to view URL] - will give the translation***
>>Quality: I will do manual typing all the words instead of using OCR
>>I would like to say that the bidding amount is **NEGOTIABLE** (I have reduced to 250$), as I am willing to take up the project.
>>NOTE: I am interested to take this project as I can involve myself fully into this project and its part of my devotion and I will do it whole hearty
>>About Me:
I am good in handling various Microsoft Office tools such as MS Word, Excel & PowerPoint - worked in various major versions.
I am interested and have ability in handling large volume of data more accurately.
>>BELIEVING THAT I WILL GET THE PROJECT, I HAVE STARTED MY WORK :)
Thanks,
Anto

Hi! I understand your need. I have three good reasons why you should get me as your writer.
First, I'm a teacher by profession and a writer by passion. I taught English and Social Sciences. So, when it comes to writing a lot of topics it would just be as easy as pie for me since I know a lot of resources. I'm a writer by passion, which means I really love writing; even though, I know I still need to learn more.
Second, I'm an open-minded person. I accept corrections and I am very glad to hear constructive criticisms regarding my work.
Third, I'm a person with dignity. I do my job in an honest way and I guaranty you that I'm a 100% real person.
With these reasons, I think you have already found the right person for your task. Send me a message as soon as possible. I hope to work with you soon. Thanks!

Hello, there!
I have been part-time typist for over 5 years, and I could ensure my accuracy.
1. Firstly, I have Hebrew input method in my computer and I know how to use it.
2. I am experienced in formatting so that I could work it out as same as the scanned file.
3. I am doing relevant research in University of Sydney, and I am familiar with this field.
4. It will take me 10-15 days to do it at least in order to ensure 100% accuracy in the end.
5. I will be thankful if you could pay it in pieces.
I will be appreciated of your choice.
Cheers, Ronggang
Hello!
You're right, it is a big project. However, the text looks to be in great shape and is not hard to decipher whatsoever. I would not OCR the book as the programs pick up every stray mark and would wreak havoc with the Hebrew. More trouble than its worth When it comes to the Hebrew, I would copy and paste from the original as I don't always trust the translations, etc.
I'd appreciate the opportunity to complete this job for you on your terms and schedule.
Thanks,
Pamela Mortimer
I can run a script that takes all of these images and then outputs the text in OCR without error. Each page would then be formatted and proofed with HTML tags in dreamweaver, HEBREW OCR will be used to gather each screen shot of each word on each document. I live in Los Angeles, speak perfect English and have only the best reviews on freelancer.com
To Whom It May Concern;
For Hebrew characters I will use Google translation or other translation sites to insert any characters that I do not have already downloaded onto my system.
Based on your project description, I believe my experience, skills and knowledge are a good match to complete your job tasks.
I have 25+ years of experience in copy, audio and video transcription, as well as 10+ years as a Typesetter/DTP Operator, and for the last 12+ years I have been working within the legal and judicial sector, which requires a great deal of accuracy, confidentiality and commitment.
Please let me know if you require any additional information.

Coleen Stevens
