Thanks for this tip, Seth. Further on that reverse idea, saw this similar tool, don't see a price: https://imagetosound.com/
<https://imagetosound.com/>In seeking sound for experimental films, looking for any visual element of the shooting process to extract sound from, I've scanned a foot of film on a flatbed at a time then had that image file read by software that translates it to sound. I was particularly scanning the line down the middle of Double 8mm hand-processed footage.
