Makeover Mantra

ALL OF US HAVE boxfuls of old snapshots, videotapes and audio cassettes, remnants of an era gone by but still fondly cherished. Digitising them could be a great idea as it would keep the data secure and also ensure instant access and hassle-free sharing. In case the idea of tech transformation intimidates you, help is at hand. For instance, there is Visakhapatnambased ScanCorner, a one-stop solutions provider for all your digitising needs, from scanning decades-old photographs and negatives to transferring audio and videotape content to DVDs. However, you will end up paying anywhere between ₹10 and ₹50 or more for digitising g a single photograph/negative. pg Prices differ for transferring video content. Some companies may charge around ₹700 for a three-hour-long videotape while some will do it on the minute basis (starting from ₹19 per minute). Costs could be higher if you have any special requirement. On the other hand, you can take the plunge and do it yourself; all you need is the right set of hardware and software. Here is how the shift from analogue to digital can take place.
