Recording tips

We tend to speak approximately four times faster than we can type, therefore, it can take up to 4 hours to transcribe a 1-hour tape. However, there are times when it may take longer, due to: -

Clarity of the tape / Clarity of the person/people speaking
Regional accents of speakers / Speed at which person/people speak
Number of people speaking together
Content of recording / amount of technical terms used

With regards to the equipment:

Use an external microphone and place close to the source of sound
Use a separate microphone for each speaker / Record at fastest speed
Voice-activated recorders can cut the beginning of your speech
Digital recordings are much clearer providing more accurate transcripts

With regards to the speaker/s:

Record in a quiet environment / Speak clearly, slowly at audible level
Spell out technical words - or provide list
If more than one person, speak one at a time
If a large group where people need to be identified, ask each person to state their name before speaking
