Step 1 \u2013 Configure an open-ended question to record audio<\/h3>\n
To record an audio response you will first need to set up a Snap Mobile Anywhere survey<\/a>, with an open ended question. This question can then be configured using \u2018Data Picker\u2019 to accept an audio response.<\/p>\n
- \n
- Highlight the open ended question<\/li>\n
- Choose \u2018Show<\/strong>\u2019 and \u2018Data Picker<\/strong>\u2019 in the toolbar.<\/li>\n
- Tick \u2018Show<\/strong>\u2019.\n
\n![\"show](\"https:\/\/www.snapsurveys.com\/support-snap11\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/show-data-picker.png\")
\n \t<\/div>\n<\/li>\n- Select ‘Attach audio<\/strong>‘. You can also set the color and size of the mic button which launches the recorder.\u00a0Note:<\/strong> You can also configure open questions to accept a photograph taken using the devices camera, in response.\n
![\"attach](\"https:\/\/www.snapsurveys.com\/support-snap11\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/attach-audio.png\")
<\/div>\nYour survey question will look like this:<\/p>\n
\n![\"audio](\"https:\/\/www.snapsurveys.com\/support-snap11\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/audio-response-mic-symbol2.png\")
\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n- Publish and upload the survey to Snap WebHost.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/ol>\n
Step 2 \u2013 Use Snap Mobile Anywhere to record participant answers<\/strong><\/h3>\n
Start the survey, and assign to appropriate interviewer account(s)<\/a>. When the survey is viewed in the Snap Mobile Anywhere app, the mic symbol indicates that an audio response can be given.<\/p>\n
- \n
- Click the mic button
![\"mic](\"https:\/\/www.snapsurveys.com\/support-snap11\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/mic-button.png\")
\u00a0to record audio responses<\/li>\n - The player will open.
\nClick![\"red](\"https:\/\/www.snapsurveys.com\/support-snap11\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/recording-button3.png\")
\u00a0to record
\nClick![\"stop](\"https:\/\/www.snapsurveys.com\/support-snap11\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/stop-recording-button.png\")
\u00a0to stop recording
\nClick![\"keep](\"https:\/\/www.snapsurveys.com\/support-snap11\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/keep-recording-button.png\")
\u00a0to keep the recording
\nClick![\"delete](\"https:\/\/www.snapsurveys.com\/support-snap11\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/delete-recording-button.png\")
\u00a0to delete the recording<\/li>\n - Submit the survey response.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/ol>\n
Step 3 \u2013 Download audio files<\/strong><\/h3>\n
When surveys and data have been synchronized with Snap WebHost, the Summary tab will indicate that survey responses and attachments are available to download. MPEG Audio files are downloaded separately from survey data. They can be played using an appropriate media player.<\/p>\n
- \n
- Click \u2018Download attachments<\/strong>\u2019\n
![\"download](\"https:\/\/www.snapsurveys.com\/support-snap11\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/download-attachments.png\")
\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n- The attachment window opens. In this example, there are 4 audio files. The unique reference includes the question number to which the audio file relates.\u00a0Click \u2018Download All<\/strong>\u2019 and save the audio files to a convenient location on your computer or network:\n
![\"attachment](\"https:\/\/www.snapsurveys.com\/support-snap11\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/attachment-window.png\")
<\/div>\n<\/li>\n- Import survey data into Snap<\/a>. Here, Q2 is visible in the data entry window, and the associated audio file is shown as saved in Windows:\n
\n![\"Q2](\"https:\/\/www.snapsurveys.com\/support-snap11\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Q2-data-entry-audio-file-windows.png\")
\n <\/div>\nEach audio file is named with a unique reference number, identifying the case and question to which it relates. In this example the response field for Q2 contains the response \u2018ref:00000000001:Q2\u2019. The audio file of the same name can then be played. You may wish to transcribe the response into the Data Entry window.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/ol>\n
Note:<\/strong> As well as providing your participants with the privacy information that you would provide for any other survey, you should ensure that your participants are aware that their responses to a particular question are being recorded, and that you have a basis for recording their response, such as their consent. For example, you can create a Multi Choice style consent question:<\/em><\/p>\n
- \n
- Open your survey in the Questionnaire Window and Design Mode
![\"design](\"https:\/\/www.snapsurveys.com\/support-snap11\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/design.png\")
.<\/li>\n - Click into the first title or question field at the top of your questionnaire.<\/li>\n
- Click
![\"plus](\"https:\/\/www.snapsurveys.com\/support-snap11\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Plus.png\")
to create a new question.<\/li>\n - Select the dropdown list on the toolbar where it says Single Choice<\/strong> and change it to Multi Choice<\/strong>. The shape of the response boxes changes from a radio button to a square.<\/li>\n
- Click on the field below and Press [Ctrl] + [Shift] + [B] to insert a page break above your new question (alternatively click the right\u2013hand button on the mouse and select Break and Page Break.<\/li>\n
- In the area marked Click here for text<\/strong> enter your consent request text.\n
![\"consent](\"https:\/\/www.snapsurveys.com\/support-snap11\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/consent-request-text-box-1.png\")
<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\nYou should either specify up front which questions are being recorded or, if you ask for consent to \u2018some\u2019 questions being recorded let the participant know when responses are being recorded as you ask the relevant question.<\/em><\/p>\n
Where you have enabled the Attach Audio<\/strong> feature, a mic symbol indicates that an audio response can be given.<\/em><\/p>\n
<\/div>\nIf the mic symbol is pressed, a recording player opens. If the Record button
is then pressed it will flash to indicate recording is in progress. At the same time a recording timer at the top of the screen will commence to also signal recording is in progress.<\/em><\/p>\n![\"recording](\"https:\/\/www.snapsurveys.com\/support-snap11\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/recording-player.png\")
<\/div>\nThis feature works best in surveys in the field where an individual interviewer is interacting with the participant, as opposed to kiosk surveys. If the feature is enabled for a kiosk survey you would need to make it very clear to participants that their audio is being recorded.<\/em><\/p>\n
