I've done a small amount of interview recording. Most recently the Android app "Smart Voice Recorder" did a really good job of picking up conversation at a table in a crowded and loud restaurant. That's on a Samsung Galaxy S running Android 4.2. I had abysmal results with the voice recorder app that came standard with the phone two years ago (probably Android 2.3 then?). To transcribe I just played the audio back in Windows Media player - after my first experience transcribing a few years ago (a huge pain) I decided just to keep the audio files and only transcribe the portions of an interview that I'll use as quotes. Of course I make notes that I can use to understand the gist of the conversation and avoid taking things out of context.

Hi everyone,

We are doing some work on qualitative research tools and would very much appreciate if you could take 1 min to answer the following questions:

(1) Have you ever voice recorded interviews with participants?

(2) If so, what tools did you use to do the recording?

(3) What tools did you use to playback/decode the audio?

Please include hardware (like phones, tape recorders) and any software packages.

Thanks very much! Nicki
