There are hand-held recordersįor under $100 on the market now that can make high quality MP3s or evenĬD-quality recordings. Start with a good, clean digital recording. The simplest start and stop the recording. In general that means getting aįoot pedal. Without taking their hands off the “home” keyboard. Recording (at least stop, play and rewind).

I have been waiting since the mid-90s for speach recognition to get that good, but so far, no luck. Software is not yet at the point where it can transcribe an interview for you. There is very little that you can do about that. Of thumb is that it will take three to four hours to transcribe each hour of Whether you find your own transcriber or send it to a service, a good rule Grad students with good ears who can touch-type make excellent transcribers in my experience. You will have more control over the process if you hire someone who is a good typist and pay them by the hour. With increased speed also comes increased error pretty often.
Commercial services charge by the page rather than by the hour, so their motivation is to produce pages as quickly as possible.
It is also not necessarily the most accurate approach. WhileĮasy, this is also the most expensive approach and may require additional IRBĬlearance. Typically these services charge by the page or by the minute.
