Word on the Street
"We handed over eleven boxes of my dad's slides not knowing what half of them even were. Three weeks later we had a searchable digital archive and the originals back, perfectly organized by year."
"The VHS tapes from my kids' childhood were starting to get that warped, wobbly look. Phoenix Scanning got to them just in time — the transfers look better than I remember the tapes ever looking."
"I mailed in a shoebox of cassette mixtapes from college not expecting much. Got back clean WAV files with the hiss pulled way down. It was like hearing 1998 again, minus the tape hiss."
