Whether on desktop or mobile devices, competing for a reader's attention against messages from friends, games and other media can be daunting, especially for journalists who feel more comfortable writing text-based articles rather than producing videos or multimedia pieces.

Thankfully, there are many tools out there designed to help reporters add some interactivity to their storytelling that are simple to use, often times free, and that require no knowledge of code.

Writing for the Global Investigative Journalism Network, Paige Levin put together a list of tools to help journalists work more productively with audio interviews.

The list includes SoundCite, which helps embed audio into text in an innovative way, Clammr, a tool to make audio snippets more shareable, as well as Journalism.co.uk favourite oTranscribe, which helps you cut down on the time spent transcribing.
