Project Description
I have a stack of printed forms that must be keyed into a digital format with complete accuracy. This is strictly manual data entry—no OCR or automated scraping—because the forms contain handwritten fields and variable layouts that automated tools struggle to interpret.
Scope of work
• Review each printed form and enter every field exactly as shown into the spreadsheet template I will supply (Excel or Google Sheets, your choice).
• Maintain the original field order so my downstream scripts map correctly.
• Flag any illegible or missing information so I can verify it later.
Deliverables
1. Completed spreadsheet containing every record from the forms.
2. A short log noting any unclear characters or anomalies you encountered.
Acceptance criteria
• 99%+ transcription accuracy (I will run spot checks).
• Consistent formatting of dates, currency, and numeric fields as per the template.
• All data delivered within the agreed timeframe in the same file structure provided.
If you are meticulous and comfortable with repetitive manual entry from printed documents, this task should be straightforward and quick to turn around.
