<div dir="ltr"><div>Dear Heather</div><div><br></div><div>I've used the Zoom H2N with community members, together with very simplified instructions, but they still had problems with it. The easiest thing would be to use the record or video function on mobile phones. I know there are other communities using mobile phones for language documentation, and phones also have the advantage of being familiar and thus intruding less on the conversation. I know that the recording quality is mp3 not .wav, but for language learning and MAP purposes that should not be a problem. I would also recommend not recording at all for the first meetings, to put people at their ease.</div><div><br></div><div>Good luck!</div><div><br></div><div>Julia<br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 18 August 2018 at 23:38, Heather souter <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:hsouter@gmail.com" target="_blank">hsouter@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Taanshi!

My name is Heather Souter. I am a Michif from Camperville, Manitoba, Canada. I need some advice. Please help...<br>
<br>
Looking for some collective wisdom here. I need a range of ideas for the lowest tech to the highest (and a few in between?!) recording devices to use with a group of community-based Indigenous language learners of widely ranging digital skill levels? The budget is CA$ 160..?<br>
<br>
Zoom H1 and Zoom H1n have been suggested. Any other suggestions on the lower and slightly higher tech sides? Something my non-tech savy elderly auntie could use and then maybe something with a XLR input?<br>
<br>
It is for an upcoming MAP pilot project..<br>
<br>
Kihchi-marsii. Thank- you!<br>
<br>
Eekoshi pitamaa. That’s it for now.<br>
