How do I record telephone interviews or conferences for transcriptions?
For recording Telephone Interviews or Conferences, you will require a telephone with a handset and a recording adapter. This specially built adapter is attached to the handset of the telephone with wires; the two-way conversation can then be recorded on to a portable recorder, or directly to a computer. Similarly, cell phones can also be used for interviews, but a different adapter is available for a wireless phone. Radio Shack makes a device “Wireless Phone Recording Controller Part No.17-855” that allows you connect a recording device like a cassette recorder into your headset jack onto your telephone and a headset so you can record telephone calls.
