[MCN-L] Voice to Text Software/Hardware for Cataloguing

[Sterling Jenson]

Greetings all,

I have a volunteer who is intelligent and has a background in a relevant
field, but does not type quickly. However, I would like to have him help
catalogue some correspondence for the archives. Has anyone tried to use
voice-to-text software to catalogue? My plan was to use Windows 10 built in
voice-to-text feature along with a basic USB condenser microphone. Or would
it make more sense to utilize a headset to cut out some of the ambient
noise and thus reduce the number of errors in the process? Thoughts,
comments, questions?

Best,

Sterling

I wanted to thank everyone for their suggestions for vendors to digitize
film. I am looking into a couple of options now that the holidays are over.

Best,

[MCN-L] Recommendations for Digitizing 16 mm film?

[Sterling Jenson]

Greetings all,

We recently received a collection at our museum which included a set of 16
mm film reels which has me again thinking about how to digitize film. While
I can find scanners for 8 mm film, I am not having any luck with finding a
good 16 mm film converter. Therefore, I was wondering what others in the
field use to digitize 16 mm film in order to convert it into a digital
movie file.  Does anyone have any recommended hardware?

I came across several companies which will digitize the 16 mm film while
looking for the hardware. If I am not able to pursue the hardware option,
does anyone have suggestions for these companies? If it matters, I work in
Southern California.

Best,

Sterling
