Great presentation @spectregraph!

INA-Saphir optical system can read broken lacquer records. Fascinating engineering to achieve this. Different coloured light at different angle. Once reflected back to the sensor, the groove angle can be determined. J-H Chenot and J-E Noiré, INA #IASA55

It looks like folk at #IASA55 might be interested in the #AI4LAM @AI4LAM Speech to Text community and vice versa... and possibly also @IIIF AV annotations
