Project consisted of approximately 200 story or Titles.
And when each cassette was digitized, we had 700+ WAV files

Each container may hold up to 4 audio cassettes. However, there were over 700 sides from cassette tapes. Each side was made into a "WAV" file..
In other steps, Cassette usage instructions were removed in an audio editing phase.

In the past, a reader would enter into a recording both sealed off from outside noises and distractions; speak into a recording device. Whether the reader would be an author, professional reader, or a library volunteer, the manuscript would be spoken and the voice eletronically captured onto audio tape.
As pictured on the left, libraries distributed audio cassette tapes in colored plastic containers that could hold up to 4 tapes. Each container made it possible for non-sighted person to connect with another world.
While the National Library System still has audio cassettes available, digital Talking Book Readers are replacing older technology.
FYI: Each audio cassette side represents up to 90 minutes of spoken audio. We had about 750 audio cassette sides with the possbility of 4 sides squeezed onto the same cassette tape.
The project is sponsored by the Friends of the Maryland State Library for the Blind and Physically Handicapped.
