I have several tapes (yes actual cassette tapes) of my grandfather reading a novel.

Unfortunately a few of the tapes have degraded to the point that I cannot play them back.

I would love to recreate his voice, to “rerecord” the missing bits.

The recordings are in Danish.

Is this possible?

If it is, how can I go about it?

    The very first thing you should do is get them professionally digitized, that way the quality won’t degrade any further. Then you can try training a voice AI, but as long as you have the digitized version, you can always train whatever new AI is invented in the future.
