Micro cassettes are small and more fragile than they look, and they can deteriorate. Digitizing your micro cassette tapes sooner rather than later is the best way to preserve the voices and moments on them. Here's what you get when you convert micro cassette tapes to digital with us.
Both sides of your micro cassette are captured from beginning to end on a deck and saved as a .wav file. No post-processing is done, so there is no track separation.
Every cassette is converted in-house at our Indianapolis lab, never outsourced. From the moment your box arrives, each item is weighed to the gram, and 60 high definition cameras monitor the property. Your original tapes always go back to you.
Micro cassettes can break or stretch from long periods of disuse or from overuse. If one of yours is damaged, our skilled technicians use professional equipment to attempt a repair, at no extra cost.
We've designed the whole process
to be as pain-free as possible.
Pack your micro cassettes in a sturdy box and send them to us.
Our technicians digitize each micro cassette at our Indianapolis lab on professional equipment, handling it with care to capture the original as faithfully as possible.
Get your .wav files by download, or on a USB drive chosen at checkout. Your original tapes come back too.

Audio cassettes hold decades of music, mixtapes, interviews, voice recordings and family memories, and the tape can deteriorate with age. Cassette players are also getting harder to find and keep working, so it's best to convert audio cassette tapes to digital sooner rather than later. ScanCafe does the work in-house in the USA, never outsourced, with superb quality, a safe handling guarantee and industry-beating prices.
Cassette length is usually printed on the tape or its case, for example 60 or 90 minutes in total.
Your recording will be about as long as the original tape.
Our technicians capture each cassette from beginning to end on a deck, both sides, and save it as a .wav file. No post-processing is done, so there is no track separation. Problems from the original recording or the condition of the tape are often beyond the scope of editing.
We capture both sides of your cassette, from beginning to end.
Use a box, not an envelope. Choose a sturdy, double-walled box, like the kind used for shipping books, and avoid flimsy department store garment boxes and padded envelopes. Make sure your box is filled, even if you need to pad it, with bubble wrap, foam peanuts or crumpled newspaper so your tapes can't slide around.
