About this Gig

Send me a scanned PDF and I will return clean, searchable text, or a proper Excel table.


What you get:

- Text extracted page by page, no broken lines in the middle of a sentence

- Tables rebuilt into real Excel rows and columns, not one big text block

- Headers, page numbers and footers handled so they do not pollute the data

- A short note on anything that was unreadable


Good fits: invoices, bank statements, old reports, printed forms, book scans.


Limits, stated up front: I do not touch handwritten text, low-resolution photos, or anything that needs a login to open. If a scan is too poor to read reliably, I will tell you before starting rather than guess at numbers.


How it works:

1. You send one or two sample pages.

2. I check readability and tell you what is realistic.

3. You approve the price, I process the batch, you get the files.

【中文說明】


掃描 PDF 交給我,回傳乾淨可搜尋的文字,或真正排好的 Excel 表格。


你會拿到:

・逐頁擷取文字,句子中段不會被硬切

・表格還原成真正的 Excel 列與欄,不是一大坨文字

・頁首、頁碼、頁尾自動處理,不污染資料

・無法辨識的地方會另外列出來


適合:發票、對帳單、舊報告、印刷表單、書籍掃描。


先講清楚限制:手寫字、低解析度照片、需要登入才能開的檔案,我都不接。掃描品質差到無法可靠辨識時,我會在開始前告訴你,不會隨便猜數字。


流程:

1. 你先給一兩頁樣本。

2. 我確認可讀性,告訴你實際能做到什麼程度。

3. 你確認價格,我處理整批,你收到檔案。
