I have a complete set of tapes for Thai Volume 2, lessons 21-40. I probably have the book somewhere in the attic. I am in no hurry to digitize them, but if anyone is chomping at the bit for this set, let me know. I will chip away at the tapes and look for the book.
Anyone interested?

I'm not sure about this forum, but there are people on other fora who'd appreciate it if you could digitize what you have.
See: http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=109558 and http://www.thailandqa.com/forum/showthread.php?t=12998 If the book would be a struggle, please consider doing the tapes - they're much more expensive and harder to come by second hand. |

Is the book a bound book, or a loose-leaf folder?
If it's a folder, I have access to a photocopier that produces PDFs :) Just put the lot onto the sheet feeder, press GO and it's all done in a few minutes. |

Where possible, I have had Kinkos trim the binding away from the text, creating loose-leaf pages. They have a machine that quickly and cleanly removes the binding. Once the scanning is complete, they can rebind with the binding method of your choice.
Obviously, we can't do this with library texts, but it greatly speeds up the scanning process and gives higher quality scans with no black areas on the page.

I am familiar with the machine - nasty tool but works brilliantly - used it in one of my former jobs for ... cutting of the bindings of massive textbooks so I could travel with only the pages I needed. I have also used a band saw to cut off the spine. Problem is that I haven't yet located the books for Thai I (already available on this site) and Thai II. I am certain one of them is original government issue. I found tons of other language stuff, tho, but I don't think it's useful here.
gdfellows: many thanks for the links to the Thai sites. This is not my language of interest anymore, but I couldn't part with the materials.

OK, I can start working on the audio. In the meantime, I have found the book. I would lend it to the cause but I would like the pages back. It will be far too tedious to scan it page by page but if there is an offer to digitize it, it would be OK to cut off the binding so it could be fed through a machine.

If it's any help for the audio, I have a PERL script that will go through a directory of WAV files and for each file:

Just what I need - you probably didn't know that I'm a recovering geek and trying to decrease my exposure to things all technical. So... yes, I am interested, but I will contact you by PM to spare this audience, who should be focusing on human language...

I would love to have the Thai II material. I've been working on Thai I and think it's a great course. Thank you for all the hard work ;-)
