I'm still very interested in this project.
Hello, and welcome to Freelancer.
I'm a native American English speaker and would love to work on your project. I can't say that I can guarantee 100% accuracy, but you are correct in that I believe the longer I work on this project the better I would get at deciphering the writing.
I believe this is a British POW, correct? The date at the top and some of the words suggest he's British. Knowing that might help with the project, as having a knowledge of British spelling and sentence construction. I have that knowledge.
I've given a very generous due date, partly because there are holidays coming up here in the US where I will be out of the office.
I agree that reviewing the content over time is a wise plan; I also believe that there will be times when I'll need to edit pages I've already transcribed, due to finding and understanding new words. I look at this project as sort of big puzzle or deciphering code. While I may be able to transcribe complete sentences in order, I think I might end up looking for all the words that I recognize in the entire document and typing those out, and then working on the words that are less legible. I hope that makes sense.
I'm also adept at research, if necessary, to help me understand the context of the document, which may help add to my ability to transcribe the document.
At any rate, if you're interested in working with me, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
Carol McKenzie
