Spring Sophomore Research Project #35

Professor Niklas Manz, Physics Department

Project Description

Some years ago, I received a recorded conversation/interview from the 1980s of one of the ‘first-generation’ scientists working on the chemical system I am using in my lab. For my science history project (see http://woosterdigital.org/BZ-history) I would like to transcribe this audio file, which exists on an old cassette tape. We need to digitize and digitally enhance the recording before transcribing the interview.

Prerequisite Classes/Skills Required

Digitizing and enhancing audio files.

Transcribing an English conversation.

Time expectations

4 hours per week for 14 weeks
