Focus on the conversation, not your notebook, when conducting interviews
Transcribing interviews can be a useful tool for journalists, researchers, and anyone else conducting interviews as part of their work. Not only does it allow you to focus fully on the conversation without worrying about note-taking, but it also provides a permanent record of the interview that can be reviewed and analyzed at a later time.
Tips for recording interviews:
- Use a high-quality microphone that can clearly pick up both speakers.
- Choose a quiet location for the interview, free from background noise.
- Avoid public spaces, such as restaurants, which can be noisy and distracting.
