When my class was told that we would have to conduct interviews for our project, I went straight to brainstorming. I had the privilege of interviewing my Step-mother who happens to be an avid-traveler, and an inspiring individual who's explored some incredible corners of Europe. What made this interview particularly interesting, though, was my setup: just my iPhone 14 and the built-in Notes app, I didn't have anything fancy, and I recorded the interview with just our voices. I'm a big believer in accessible journalism, and I wanted to share my experience of how I prepared for and conducted this interview using everyday technology. During the interview, I used the Notes app to record the entire conversation. I made sure to clearly introduce myself and the purpose of the interview at the beginning of the recording. Because I was using my phone, I held it close to our faces to have the iPhone pick up the audio clearly each time we took turns to speak in the interview. After the interview, I listened back to the recording in the Notes app. From there, I began the transcription process. I often transcribe interviews with a website called "Whisper Web" from Haawke Neural Technology, which uses Ai to listen and transcribe an audio prompt. It allows me to really immerse myself in the conversation again and pick up on nuances I might have missed the first time. Having the clear audio from the Notes app made this process much smoother.
