Recording Phone Conversations for Transcription If you are going to be recording any significant amount of phone conversations, we recommend that you invest in one of the following devices to improve the recording quality. If you have a phone with an attached handset: JK Audio - QuickTap Telephone Handset adaptor. It sells for $59.00 and attaches to the cord between your phone and handset. If you have a portable phone with a headset jack: JK Audio - CellTap Wireless Phone Audio Tap. It sells for $79.00 and will attach to the headphone port of your wireless phone or cell phone. Either of these devices is preferable to the 'suction cup' device that you can get from Radio Shack. We recommend the Zoom H2 Recorder as a recording device. | |
Let a Professional Service Do It!We recommend using Recordia Pro for handling your recording needs if you're not set up to record phone calls yourself. RecordiaPro will handle recording your outgoing or incoming phone calls. Once you've recorded a call, you can upload it to our client area for transcription. If you want to record the calls yourself, we recommend using the JK Audio Tap and the Zoom H2 Recorder. |  |
Choosing a Recording Device for Phone InterviewsOur same advice applies to phone conversations as to other types of audio. Do not use Microcassette unless absolutely necessary.
