Perhaps you can select only those tapes you plan to listen to again in the future and copy them in real-time using the TASCAM digital recorder. Otherwise, you're on your own because I have no idea how you would digitize tapes at double speed unless you have rather expensive professional recording equipment.
If I were you, I'd copy the tapes as I listened to them. It might take years, but it's the only way I know how to do it. I have to copy my LPs in real-time and it's a tedious and time consuming process. However, that's the only way I know how to do it.
The advantage of copying tapes in real-time is that you can listen to them as you copy them. I can't do that with LPs because it causes acoustic feedback. Of course, I could listen using headphones but if I play my speakers it results in acoustic feedback that gets recorded into the digital copy. That's not a problem with analog tapes.
Good luck,
