[Air-L] Recording phone interviews

[Andrew Chadwick]

Hello Zach,

Probably the best solution is an old-skool hardware phone pickup mic that you can plug into your own hardware voice recorder/dictaphone. Olympus do these sorts of things and the new ones work fine with mobile phones.

Good luck!

Andy

    Hi everyone,

    Given these times of social distancing, a colleague and I are conducting
    interviews by telephone. We are looking for solutions to record the
    interviews locally (so that we can transcribe them), but also maintain the
    privacy of the interviewees. We have considered various options (from
    conducting the interview over loudspeaker with a recorder next to it, to
    using Google Voice, to using subscription services). We have decided
    against services that ‘join’ the call as a conference call participant and
    send you the recording because we would like to maintain full control over
    the recorded data (again, for ethical reasons). So, we were wondering what
    the experience of the community here has been. Are there any recent and
    reliable tools that people here are using? What have you found to work well?

    Thanks!

    Zach
