‘Proof Reading’

‘Proof Reading’ is another type of ‘data entry’ job, where you have to compare the text already typed by some other jobber in MS Word format with the ‘jpeg‘ image of the original text from which the typing was done by another jobber, and then correct spelling or other mistakes, as specified. Here also, the original ‘jpeg’ image and typed MS Word text will need to be displayed simultaneously by splitting the computer screen into 2 halves, so that you can view them simultaneously and apply corrections on the typed ‘Word’ file. However, again, the workload does not allow casual 1-2 hr. application each day. By way of example, here is what ‘Achariya Infotech’ spells out on this type of job:

The work will be in two packages:

(a) 5 MB Package per month (full-time workers only): 1st 1 MB work to be done in 7 days, next 3 MB in another 21 days, and total 5 MB in 35 days
(b) 3 MB Package per month (full-time workers only): 1st 1 MB work to be done in 10 days, next 1 MB in another 10 days, and total 3 MB in 30 days

Payment according to ‘accuracy %’:
Accuracy (%) Payment per MB (Rs.)_________
99 – 100 3,000
98 2,000
97 1,000
96 500
95 250
92 – 94 To be reworked – only one-time opportunity
< 92 No pay and no further work

Accuracy will be counted in terms of spelling, numeric, punctuation, and small/capital letter mistakes, as well as missed words, lines and paragraphs. The formula applied would be:

(No. of mistakes) X 100
No. of total characters in work

‘Accuracy Report’ showing how it was worked out would be provided to the jobber

Apart from ‘365jobs4U’, you will also find many opportunities in the ‘Kijiji’ classified Ads, further categorized as ‘Kijiji Mumbai’, Kijiji Chennai’, etc. Most of the Data Entry/Conversion Jobs advertised through ‘Kijiji’ are bulk jobs, which may not be within the capacity of a single individual or a single computer. Perhaps you can form your own group of friends and then undertake the jobs.

One-time fee charged for a yearly contract: Rs. 6,000

This BPO also offers typing job at the same fee, paying from Rs. 12/- per 1,000 characters for 99 – 100 % accuracy to Rs.2/- per 1,000 characters for 95% accuracy
