About this Gig
Do you have handwritten notes, old letters, scanned books, or manuscripts sitting in a folder, unusable because they're not digital text?
I convert scanned or handwritten documents into clean, properly formatted digital text preserving the original layout, not just dumping raw text.
What I do:
- Type out handwritten or scanned pages accurately
- Preserve layout headings, paragraphs, footnotes, tables, verse/stanza structure
- Work in both English and Tamil, including documents that mix scripts
- Proofread against the original scan before delivery
- Deliver a clean, print-ready PDF, plus an editable source file if you need it
Recent project: 89 pages of a Tamil devotional/philosophical periodical dense prose mixed with quoted verse and footnoted references fully typeset and delivered in 2 days.
Good for:
- Old family letters or documents
- Religious, literary, or academic manuscripts
- Scanned books/journals needing a digital, editable version
- Handwritten drafts or notes
If your document has unusual formatting or a large page count, message me before ordering and I'll confirm turnaround and pricing.

FAQ
Can you handle poor-quality or blurry scans?
Yes, I can work with most scans and handwriting. If a word or section is genuinely illegible, I'll flag it clearly in the delivered file rather than guess.
Can you mix Tamil and English in the same document?
Yes, I regularly work with documents that switch between Tamil and English, including transliterated text.
Do you preserve formatting like tables, footnotes, and page numbers?
Yes, in the Standard and Premium packages. Basic covers plain text with simple paragraph formatting only.
What file formats will I receive?
A clean, print-ready PDF by default. An editable source file is available on request or included in Premium.
My document is longer than 90 pages, can you still help?
Yes, message me with the page count and I'll quote a custom price and timeline.
Do you edit or correct the original content, or just transcribe it?
I transcribe exactly what's in the original, including any errors in the source, unless you specifically ask me to correct spelling or grammar.
