Transferring the entire tape ensures that we capture everything that may be on it, and it gives us a waveform visual of the audio in relation to the tape length. In fact, tape two only had about ten minutes of audio on it. The cassette tapes were transferred in their entirety, even though we knew that they were not full. Now, Barbara is a savvy, tech-friendly woman, and decided that she would enjoy using the programs on her computer to sync the audio to the video herself.Īfter discussing the file format she would need to complete the work, the cassettes were sent out to SPEAK HOUSE Audio to be converted to digital files.Īs we do with every client, we contacted Barbara when her tapes arrived so that she could be sure they arrived safely and on time. I mentioned that this was a service that we provide and that we could, with her permission, access her account with iMemories and download the silent visuals, “sync” the narration from the audio cassette tapes to the video file and create a new DVD for her. I spoke to Barbara personally when she called us, and she explained that her goal was to “marry” the audio from the cassettes to the slideshow that iMemories would digitize for her.

In the good old days, you would gather around to view the slide collection while a family member narrated the story of the slides.īecause iMemories specializes in visual conversions such as film, videotape, and pictures, they recommended SPEAK HOUSE Audio as their go-to professionals for audio transfers. With 6.5 million memories digitized, Barbara was thrilled that she found the right company to transfer her history.īut Barbara also had some audio cassette tapes that belonged with one of her slideshows. IMemories will digitize 8mm, Super 8, VHS, Betamax, PhotoPrints, Slides and many more formats. She found iMemories in Scottsdale, Arizona. She needed to find a reliable company that would take great care in transferring her media to a format she could play now and into the future. The story started when Barbara wanted to preserve her family’s home movies and slide shows. Recently I received two audio cassette tapes for transfer that will be synced to a slideshow permanently for the first time in 20 years. It is always interesting to see the different kinds of audio that cross my desk for transfer.
