The Audio component in NestForms allows responders to record and attach audio clips directly within a form. This is useful for providing spoken notes, verbal observations, or capturing sound-based evidence during inspections or surveys.
Audio Component #
No additional settings are required — just drag the component into your form. Audio is stored securely with the rest of the form data.
The Audio component is simple, efficient, and ideal for adding another layer of context to your mobile form responses.
How it works #
- When the responder taps the Audio component in the form, the device's microphone will activate.
-
They can then record a short voice note or ambient audio clip.
-
Once saved, the audio is automatically attached to the form response.
Common use cases #
-
Verbal notes in noisy environments where typing is inconvenient
-
On-site observations during inspections
-
Adding voice instructions or clarifications in forms
-
Language-based responses for accessibility
Audio Guidance #
Audio Guidance allows you to attach pre-recorded audio clips to individual form questions, helping responders understand what is required without needing to read detailed instructions. This feature is especially useful for accessibility, language support, or field teams working in noisy or hands-busy environments.
