ictaphones have long been the staple of anyone wanting
to record audio. However, using one with a phone could get
awk ward and loss of sound could be a real problem. Then
phones started including voice recorders on their dev ices but they
were fairly limited. There are now a range of apps that can record
directly onto your phone and perform a number of extra tasks to
help you with recording and transcribing interviews. This would
be of great benefit to people whose job includes interviewing or if
you are simply receiv ing instructions from your boss that you don’t
have time to write down. This tutorial will show you how to record
audio with Cogi, write notes during your inter v iew and ensure that
you never miss a crucial piece of information.
