Thinking about podcasting?

Podcasting is quickly becoming a technology that many wish to use for capturing on-the-spot discussions and interviews. Once audio is captured, these files can be easily converted and customized to Mp3 tracks that can be posted to blogs and web sites. In fact, we've posted a few on our web blog and plan for more. The free program Audacity, provides a very useful tool for accomplishing this conversion process. Several mp3 players provides external microphones and lapel microphones that can capture live audio on the fly. For those interested in recording and transcribing audio, digital recorders such as the Sony ICD-SX57 256 MB Digital Voice Recorder combined with the new Dragon Naturally Speaking v.9.0 can assist with this solution. Users however must train their voices with Dragon for smooth transcription of recorded audio....and as well for the additional voices. There are certainly many choices to consider if this is a direction you are considering!
