Hi Robin, I don't know of any ready-made apps for this, but I can recommend that to solve your second question, you create physical booths with a door you can close and some sound insulation/padding inside. For example the 9/11 Memorial Museum in NYC has these - or used to, when I visited a few years ago. Even without the echo, it is hard to avoid background noise if you are capturing just inside a room with more people present. Good luck, Martijn van der Heijden Head of Strategy Deeson +44 7397 909289 www.deeson.co.uk @deesonagency On Thu, 13 May 2021 at 17:20, Graham Davies <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > Hi Robin, > > A few years ago we used www.videoboothsystems.com to collect oral > histories at St Fagans National Museum of History, this was in the form of > a mobile booth which you could brand and came with a locked down > touchscreen with a user friendly questionnaire complete with record button. > This was a temporary instillation over a weekend, but the ability for it to > be a permanent fixture is possible too.
