I've reinstalled Armoury after a few years of having not used it and restored by wallet from a paper backup. But I'm seeing a couple of issues.

Empty Armory wallet after restore --- Help is needed https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1739591.0
armory failed to spawn the db https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1933751.0

How can I restore my wallet with other software or access my 12 word recovery phrase for use with another wallet?

Yes but not directly using the paper backup,
you can restore the backup, export the private key(s) from Armory and import it to another client.

HCP has a post with steps about exporing keys from Armory: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4746784.msg43255691#msg43255691 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4746784.msg43255691#msg43255691)
Note: Armory doesn't have to be online or synced to export the private keys.

Then in the other client, find an option to import or sweep your private keys.

But if the restored wallet is empty in Armory, there's a great chance that the exported private keys are holding no coins either.

Thanks. I don't currently have an electrum wallet but I do have a coinbase and ledger wallet. Could I load either of these with electrum? As a faster way to sweep the contents of my armoury wallet to a wallet I activly use?

You can use Electrum as an interface for Ledger, just follow their guide to create an Electrum wallet using your Ledger.

Then use sweep (Wallet->Private keys->Sweep) to send all of the private key(s) available balance to your Ledger.

Thanks for the help. I've completed the transfer with no issues
