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 attached 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 Olympus WS-200S as a recording device. In addition to great sound quality, it comes with a telephone adaptor for recording phone conversations.

Choosing a Recording Device for Phone Interviews

Our same advice applies to phone conversations as to other types of audio. Do not use Microcassette unless absolutely necessary.
