Capturing
Clear Audio
Great transcripts start with great audio, and that begins with you. The difference between audio captured by a skilled digital reporter and an unskilled one is enormous and can make or break the final deliverable.
Designed for experienced digital reporters, this course serves as both a critical refresher and a resource for new tips and advanced techniques that enhance your audio quality. You'll sharpen the key habits that lead to exceptional recordings while learning updated strategies for today’s challenging recording environments.
Top digital reporters don’t just passively record—they actively officiate. They monitor audio in real time, identify potential problems, and act quickly when clarity is compromised. You'll learn how to recognize and respond to issues before they affect the record, whether it’s static, background noise, cross-talk, mumbling, or heavy accents. You’ll also gain confidence in knowing when and how to interrupt for clarification, how to position microphones for optimal pickup, and how to manage the room with authority and professionalism.
When you consistently capture clean, complete audio, you build trust, deliver better transcripts, and stand out in the industry.
