Oral History Metadata Synchronizer (OHMS) is a system to inexpensively and efficiently enhance access to oral history online. OHMS provides users with word-level search capability and a time-correlated transcript, or indexed interview, connecting the textual search term to the corresponding moment in the recorded interview online.
OHMS is an open-source, web-based application that provides access, discoverability and interpretation of collections.
