# 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.

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

**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

<div align="center">
  <img src="https://mintcdn.com/mileappv4/Zv-R0yz4NrNyQHzp/images/v4/workflow/components/voice-note.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=Zv-R0yz4NrNyQHzp&q=85&s=642acf389a4c7dc12f3cf6cf7fa529de" alt="Voice properties" width="600" data-path="images/v4/workflow/components/voice-note.png" />
</div>

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](/pages/workflow/task-type/components/photo) page.
