  • Digitize first: a USB cassette player or a phone recording the tape playing works
  • Rename speakers to the people on the tape before you download
  • Recordings up to 5 hours per file
  • Your first 5 minutes are free (half the file if it is under 10 minutes), so you can check the result before you pay.

Questions

How good will an old tape sound to the transcriber?

Hiss, wow and distant voices lower accuracy. The free preview shows the result on your own tape before you pay.

Can you digitize the tape for me?

No, we work with the digital file. Local libraries and photo shops often offer tape digitizing.
