Dear Jessica

I am a teacher by proffesion. In 2010 i was dismissed from work due to an alleged misconduct. I am supposed to appear for an arbitration very soon. I took the recordings of a disciplinary hearing to be transcribed and i was turned down by the transcribing company. I downloaded Express scribe and I am able to load pre-recorded files and playback, but can’t make my word processor to type the audio.

I am from South Africa and this services are too scares in our country and I have just developed a passion in this field.

I am hoping to get more coaching and thanking you in Advance.

Ack, I wish I’d seen this before.
I recently did some interviews and used Google Voice to record them. I’ve got HOURS of recordings to go through and I was trying to figure out a way to get the GV recordings transcribed. Do you happen to know if there’s anyway way to save the GV files and open them in a transcription program?
Thanks!

Ecamm works with Google Voice is you use Skype with it. Basically I have Google Voice route calls to my Skype Out number. Note that Google Voice on its own can record incoming calls, but not outgoing calls.

This is so helpful. Thank you so much. Question: Does Ecamm Call Recorder work when you place calls from Google Voice? If not, is there a different recording app you use with Google Voice?

Thank you for this excellent post. Definitely the most comprehensive I’ve found on “modern” interview recording!

I could do this, but in general the google transcriptions are only good for getting the gist. The time it would take to correct it wouldn’t be worth it.
