reel time

calculate the duration of your open-reel audio

About

The duration of open-reel audio depends on several variables, and as such, is not straightforward to calculate! reel time is here to help with that.

Input the characteristics of your audio tapes—audio config, tape thickness, recording speed, and quantity—to determine their duration.

reel time is multilingual:
🇫🇷 Disponible aussi en français!
🇮🇹 Disponibile anche in italiano!
🇩🇪 Auch auf Deutsch verfügbar!

reel time is inspired by open-source preservation tools like ffmprovisr, Cable Bible, and SourceCaster, and of course also the Open Reel Audio Duration Calculator spreadsheet by Joshua Ranger of AVPreserve.

Suggestions and contributions are welcome! I'm happy to receive feature requests, bug reports, code changes, translations, general comments, etc. You can submit a github issue (or pull request), or email me directly.
