Help & Advice
These pages contain useful hints about
- audio/video recording, digitization and capturing, equipment tests
- field equipment
- power management in the field
- storage management in the field
- speech compression aspects
We also would like to point to the Language Archives Newsletter (LAN) which also contains articles about these topics and where possible we will refer to material that the MPI team is using in training courses. Under links you also find lots of useful links that may help you to find the answers to your problems.
It is very difficult to keep all this information up-to-date, since technology changes quickly and new devices may offer new options so that statements made in these pages become obsolete. So before you come to final decisions you may want to exchange thoughts with some specialist as well. At the MPI you can address these kind of questions to dobes@mpi.nl.
