This article by Tim Young appeared recently in the MissionBytes email list.
Global Recordings Network has been recording the Gospel for over sixty years. They now have over 5600 languages and dialects recorded. Each one of these is from 14 minutes to 9 hours of content. They are the equivalent of an audio tract, with evangelistic material and then some content on basic Christian growth.
A few years back, GRN decided to digitize their entire audio archive for use on the Internet, for other forms of digital distribution, and for better functionality internally.
Gospel Recordings (GRN-USA) purchased a high-speed digitizer and now have over six thousand files, many of which contain multiple cassette tapes worth of material. They have constructed a tool to rip those files into material which can be posted on the Internet, but are now wishing to verify that after sixty years, they still have the correct messages marked as the right language, and the correct content on each tape.
Languages are very peculiar, you can have tonal languages, ones that have pops and clicks as parts of words, and many sounds that do not appear in the English language. But even with these oddities, Gospel Recordings is constructing a tool that will automate the process of tape verification. It can not verify all of them, but it can narrow down the problem messages to a few hundred. This will remove thousands of man hours, freeing them up to continue processing new recordings.
