Is the audio jack on my computer the same as a microphone jack?

[pamjmorrison39]

I am trying to transfer old audio cassette tapes onto my computer so I can move them to a CD. Research shows that I must plug a cord from the headset jack on my tape recorder into a microphone jack on my computer. I cannot find a microphone jack on my computer. Is a microphone jack the same as a audio jack?

Have you checked what symbol is beside it? Usually, there's a symbol next to it, either a headphone for audio, a mic for well, mic, or both.
