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 usually indicates that you must record the participant’s answer after you have asked the question. In addition, the following buttons appear close to the question text:

Stop recording the participant
You can click the Record button as many times as required. Only the last recording is saved to an audio file.
If you do not stop the recording, it stops 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. For some browsers, you might have to press Enter after pressing the keyboard shortcut.
If more than one question is displayed, move the cursor to the question with the Record and Stop buttons before you press the keyboard shortcut.
