Everyone has a smartphone now don't they? If you have to record interviews for research or business why buy another device when you have what you need already on your iPhone? Using your iPhone to record your voice recordings instead of having to purchase an additional voice recorder makes practical and economic sense and it couldn't be more simple! Sound good? But how to do it? This article aims to explain just how quick and easy it is to record your interviews, producing a high quality sound file, and to then send on the file to your transcription service provider or indeed to yourself first if preferred. No need for USB cables or any other complicated removal method. Just dictate and send! Here's how:
1. Open the Voice Memo application on your iPhone.
2. Press the 'Record' button to the left of the microphone image to make a voice recording.
3. Press the 'Stop' button to the right of the microphone once your interview is complete.
4. Notice that the stop button is now replaced by another button, again to the right of the microphone, press this button to see a list of all recordings made by you on your iPhone to date.
5. Once you have located the voice recording you want select it.
6. Click the 'Share' button at the bottom of your screen.
7. Enter the email address you wish to send the file to once you are prompted.
Another alternative to using Voice Memo is to download an app specifically designed for dictation and recording interviews on your iPhone. The apps may provide you with additional recording functionality and will allow you to record and send the audio directly from the application to your transcription service provider. So, again, no need for USB cables or the like.
Okay, so you like the sound of an app, but which one should you choose? There is a vast array to choose from - most are very reasonably priced and some can even be downloaded for free! Check out iTunes and read through the description for each or browse the web to find a list of the top iPhone apps currently on the market.
Still not certain on what to use? Okay, some important things to consider. We recommend you choose an app with a simple interface and preferably one that will allow you to rewind, overwrite, insert and edit your recordings if need be. Your transcription service is best placed to advise you on an app if you are unsure and they are always on hand to assist you with recording best practice and to give advice on how to get the best result from your digitally recorded research interviews.
