Audio Visual Transcription (AVT)
Audio Visual formats, such as VHS tapes, CDs, cassettes and MP3 file are often some of the most prized materials in your archive. PastView's Audio Visual Transcription (AVT) service automatically detect and time stamps speakers and dialogue, converting this into metadata to aid searching of your AV content. This is particularly beneficial for audio histories and interview collections.
Employing AVT for your items will have benefits much like Optical Character Recognition (OCR) or Handwritten Text Recognition (HTR), allowing you to select, copy, and search text. By selecting this feature for your imported files you are free to address other archive matters whilst PastView automatically processes AVT in the background.
