About the work

Sindhi uses a larger alphabet than Urdu, with letters that differ only by dot placement. Older texts predate today's standard, so readers who know both are essential to build fair test data.

What you will do

  • Transcribe Sindhi manuscripts and early printed books exactly as written
  • Record older letter forms and spellings, and note where they differ from today
  • Flag unreadable words instead of guessing
  • Help write conventions for Sindhi-specific letters and dots

What we are looking for

  • Native Sindhi with confident reading of older texts
  • Accurate typing in Sindhi script
  • Familiarity with the extra letters and dot patterns of Sindhi
  • A laptop or desktop and a stable internet connection

Nice to have

  • Knowledge of classical Sindhi poetry such as Shah Abdul Latif's Risalo
  • Library or archive experience in Sindh
