The couple times I've used it have been in loud places, and it was such a pain transcribing the interviews later.<br /><br />Oh, another must-have tool for over-the-phone interviews: www.theinterviewr.com. You're welcome. It's free, the program calls you, then the interviewee, and records the whole thing. The file is available for playback and download on the site, and you can add notes as you go. I was a little nervous doing it for the first time, because I was worried it wouldn't work, and I hardly took any notes. Works great, though. It's an amazing thing to have considering most interviews I do are over the phone.Cassie @ Witty Title Herehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14554545563638953217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6949315742598489928.post-17528761003433061052012-03-23T07:38:09.549-05:002012-03-23T07:38:09.549-05:00I am no writer.
