Recording the participant’s answer
If the project you are working on uses an autodialer, some questions might require you to record the participant’s answer to an audio file. You might be required to do this in addition to typing the answer or choosing an answer from a list.
The question text will normally indicate that you must record the participant’s answer after you have asked the question. In addition, the following buttons will appear close to the question text:
Button

Description

Record the participant

Stop recording the participant
|
You can click the Record button as many times as required. Only the last recording will be saved to an audio file.
If you do not stop the recording, it will be stopped automatically when you display the next question.
For interviews that require the keyboard only
You can start or stop the recording using Ctrl+Shift+R. Note that for some browsers, pressing this keyboard shortcut alone will perform the action. For other browsers, you might have to press Enter after pressing the keyboard shortcut.
If more than one question is displayed on the screen, make sure that you move the cursor to the question with the Record and Stop buttons before you press the keyboard shortcut.
