Compare using your own disc
- Check whether the optical drive is compatible and the disc is detected.
- Inspect actual previews and saved output instead of relying on sector percentages alone.
- Check the vendor's current format support, licensing and refund terms.
- Allow time for damaged areas to be read; a recovery may take hours.
Recovery, transcription and restoration are separate
Heirvo's Archive speech processing uses a local Whisper model. It makes recognised speech searchable; it does not guarantee every word, correct misspelled names automatically or restore the picture. The current offer excludes AI picture restoration and mail-in disc work.
For IsoBuster's current features and prices, consult the vendor's own product page. We do not publish unverified comparative success rates or claim that either tool will recover your disc.

Common questions
Should I pay before trying Heirvo?
Start with the free scan and inspect the preview. Pay to save only if the recovered result is useful to you.
