Dear Colleagues, While not a member of the OHA, I occasionally have need to do oral interviews and have them transcribed. I have learned that both the types of recorders and the types of digital files and analog data formats I have presented my transcribing service are considered both wrong and/or out of date (2006 equipment and file/tape formats). For this reason, I seek to purchase a new and most appropriate digital recorder. Can you please make suggestions as to what brands and models (and their filetype output) are considered the most acceptable by most transcription services? Thank you so much.
1Sincerely, Don McGraw donaldmcgraw@mac.com
You will find discussions of these issues on the Oral History Association listserv, H-Oralhist.
