Default Audio cassette to mp3

A half a dozen of old cassettes of speech need to be digitised for

the cassette deck might work. How do I then connect that to a PC? Could
use a windows or linux machine. Would that be better than a £20 usb
cassette player from amazon?:

When I have an audio file I think I could remove a bit of hiss with
audacity or similar. Would that be 'job done'?

Just connect a low-level output of the hifi to the microphone input of
the PC. You might need an attenuator to avoid overloading.
