Optical scanning comes into its own with valuable recordings that are
unplayable mechanically, as used recently by the British Library and
Southampton University for the recovery of 130-year old tinfoil recording:

Further research is needed to more fully deploy image processing as a means=

of noise reduction of scanned images. This will be particularly effective i=
n
reducing thumps and crackles caused by dirt particles and scratches that
during conventional contact replay with styli create 'shadows' due to
mechanical resonances.
