Re: [ARSCLIST] 1/4" audio tape digitizing

[Allinaday@xxxxxxx]

I am working with two libraries to digitize their audio content.  The  audio 
is now in quarter inch tape format for the most part.
 
I understand that, for spoken word recordings where absolute top quality is  
not a requirement but digitization is, that there are 1/4" machines that play 
at  higher than normal speed, making the process of transferring a great many 
tapes  more cost-effective and less time-consuming.  Could anyone recommend 
what  these machines might be and how much time they save.
 
I would also love help and a recommendation regarding the best  organizations 
to work with if I have to outsource much of this work.
 
Thank you,
David Hoffman
