I'm a musician and software developer with 10 years as a music librarian under my belt. I taught myself to code, then went and did a master's degree in Software Dev and am now a Senior Developer with Theta Systems by day. Oltk is my passion project which I'm excited to share with you all.
"OLTK is a brilliant piece of software - thanks to the developer's history as an orchestra librarian, it's designed with the unique requirements of the job in mind. Using OLTK to batch-process pdf files saves me and my team hours every week. From cropping and rotating after scanning, through renaming files according to a given instrumentation in one click, to sending complex print-runs to the printer, we save time at every step of handling the file. Tech support from the developer is responsive and proactive, which also helps on the rare occasion we find a bug. As a professional orchestra librarian, I can't recommend this software highly enough."
"OLTK is the file-naming, batch-printing, all-singing, all-dancing orchestra library specific file management app you always wished for. Created by an orchestra librarian, who knows what you need, it is clever, customisable and easy to use. With additional API's it links to Arts Vision and Daniels Online, and has streamlined our processes for file naming, batch printing and distribution. Now I can't imagine working without it. Yes this sounds like an AI-produced gushing review, but that's because OLTK is actually amazing."
"OLTK has saved our library team countless hours every time its used. I estimate between 1-4 hours saved (depending on how big the piece is!) on each set that needs bulk labeling of files, bulk cropping and rotating of files and streamlining the printing process. Easy to use, I couldn't imagine managing our library without this now."
"Complete gamechanger for orchestra librarians"
"This app is so carefully designed specifically for the needs of orchestra librarians by someone who clearly knows our needs. So many of the slowest and most annoying parts of computer wrangling are solved in a single click to your exact specifications. I couldn't imagine going back to adding in file names manually now."
