3. How helpful is the digital sound recorder?
How to Answer
Oftentimes, technology is known to fail. While digital voice recorders help voice reporters catch parts of what they are transcribing that they missed, there is always the chance that the recording will fail and they will miss that section of the transcription completely. The candidate should discuss how much emphasis they put on a recorder in their job.

Answer Example
"I find that the best voice writing reporters do not use a recorder because technology is known to fail so often. I have trained myself to be able to transcribe without one, but always have one running in the off chance that it becomes useful down the line."
