The trouble with interviews
Well, interviews of any kind -- whether as the interviewer or interviewee -- tend to be rather irksome.
But fuck, do I ever hate transcribing. Listen, pause, type, rewind, double check, listen, pause, type...
Tedious, I say! Am currently in the midst of transcribing a particularly long in-person interview that's over 45 minutes long. Then must transcribe another phone conversation after that.
And then, I can transcribe my last interview for a completely unrelated story.
Transcribing + deadlines = great suckness
One day, digital voice recognition software for such purposes will be affordable, at which point I shall laugh delightfully as I skip through buttercup-laden fields a la Laura Ingalls.
