Voice

Record an audio note on the field app.

Voice records audio from the phone’s microphone and attaches it to the task, when speaking is faster or clearer than typing.

In the previous version this component was called Voice Note. It can only go on field app pages, not on the Initial page.

Use cases

• Explaining an issue out loud instead of typing it.
• Customer feedback in the customer’s own words.
• Context that photos and text cannot capture.
• Other languages: record in the customer’s language.

Properties

1. Visible: when off, the component is hidden on the field app; the recording is still kept and exported.
2. Required: the task cannot be finished until something is recorded.
3. Max Duration: the longest recording, in minutes, up to 10. Recording stops by itself at this limit.

On the field app

The block shows the title and Record a voice note. The worker taps to start, sees the time counting, and taps again to stop. The recording is attached to the task. See the preview on the Photo page.
