I seek an experienced optical character recognition specialist to help transcribe text found within image files into editable word documents. The images contain text from a variety of sources such as receipts, legal documents, and newspaper clippings which must be recognized and converted to plain readable text. Basic image preprocessing skills are required to improve image quality as needed prior to running OCR software. The transcribed text output must be thoroughly proofread and edited to achieve a high degree of accuracy before being compiled into standardized document formats. Candidates should have advanced skills utilizing industry-leading OCR tools as well as the ability to handle large volumes of images and produce transcripts on tight deadlines. The goal is to fully automate routine image capture and conversion tasks in order to efficiently archive and digitize paper records for long-term storage and analysis. Proficiency with Python or other programming languages could be an asset for scripting repetitive jobs. Reliability and communication are also important as I will require status updates and quick turnaround for new assignments.
