Hello!
I have a faculty member who plans to undertake research this summer in
Spain involving extensive recording of interviews. Upon her return,
these interviews (50+ of 1 hour+ each) will be transcribed somehow. I
have a lot of questions and hardly know where to begin.
Does anyone have experience w/speech recognition software for converting
spoken Spanish to (Spanish) text? If that's a truly viable option, then
I assume we'll need a digital recorder.
What about digital recorders? There are so many! It seems that their
purpose is mainly for use by an individual in a semi-quiet environment.
Have you used a digital recorder with several (3) talkers? from a
distance of 3-4 feet? Do I need an omni-directional mic add-on? What
are the pitfalls?
Before I dive deep into research regarding the best system to purchase,
I thought I'd try to avoid reinventing the proverbial "wheel" and see
what, if any, experience is out there among us.
Awaiting your advice,
Carine
