Using a microphone with your phone: 

 

Before captioning videos: 

 

  • Get as close to the sound source as possible 
  • Connect the mic before launching the app 

Types of phone mics: 

  1. 3.5mm headphone jack: You can connect any 3.5mm cable with a cable to your phone, if your phone still offers a 3.5 mm or mini-jack input option. 

  1. microUSB: The change from microUSB to USB-C as the preferred “power port“ coincided with the trend to drop the headphone jack. 
  1. USB-C 

Note: quite a few phone makers include a USB-C to 3.5mm-adapter 

Wireless / Bluetooth 

  • Place your Bluetooth headset into discoverable mode, which is sometimes called pairing mode. 
  • Click the Microphone’s pairing mode button/s 
  • Wait for the name of the microphone to appear in the list of nearby devices ○ Click "Add a device
