Turn Interview Recordings into a Book

Many recordings. One clear path to a book.

Family recordings contain interruptions, dialect, repeated accounts and different names for the same person. We preserve the audio, review each story, then structure a manuscript.

From source to story

Preserve the source

Keep each recording with its date, speaker and transcript. Machine transcription is not treated as verified fact.

Review each story

Split recordings by event and confirm speakers, relationships, dates and uncertain details.

Build the book

Arrange reviewed stories into chapters, then check titles, photographs and the final format.

Audio and manuscript remain separate. Correct source errors first, then update the derived story and book; do not turn guesses into facts.
