I'm wondering if anyone has experience with recording telephone calls and then using DNS to transcribe those conversations. 

I conduct a lot of phone interviews, and then transcribe those calls, using DNS Pref 8 to "echo-dictate" my interviews. In other words, after I'm done recording the interview, I go back, listen to it, and repeat everything that's said into Dragon, using my own user profile, which of course recognizes what I repeat in my own voice. 

What I'd like to do, when UniVoice becomes available, is record my conversations and then just plug them into UniVoice's pre-installed, generic user for transcription of both sides of the conversation. 

I assume UniVoice is probably going to work best with the highest quality recording possible. My question is, what's the best set up for recording phone conversations, so that DNS and UniVoice will be able to best handle them?

Does anyone have experience, for instance, dictating notes over the phone to be transcribed by a trained DNS user file later? What works best in that case?

 

In theory this would be possible with UniVoice but in reality, we doubt it will work because recordings of phone conversations tend to be a bit pinched sounding due to the quality of the overall system.

Thanks, Lunis, that's what I was thinking, too. I'm wondering if using radio broadcast equipment would help. In other words, when NPR does a radio interview, it plugs the signal through equipment that cancels out background noise and the like. If you could get high-quality sound from a phone conversation, would UniVoice work then?
