[Air-L] Recording phone interviews

[Sarah Ann Oates]

Hi, if you set it up in advance in the settings, Zoom will record your
session AND transcribe it. I did this for accessibility in my Zoom sessions
last semester. The transcription is pretty good, but will need light
editing. You may need an upgrade from free Zoom to get this but I think
probably worth it. I am not sure where you'll be recording but be aware in
some parts of the US (probably elsewhere as well) you need both parties in
the recording to affirm that they agree to be recorded. No doubt that is
part of your informed consent, etc., but just throwing it out there because
a lot of people are unaware of that law in some states (such as Maryland)
in the US. Good luck with the project! Sarah
