Using the Audio Field

What is the Audio Field?

The GoFormz Audio Field enables users to record audio directly within their digital and mobile forms, no matter where they are — even without internet access. This feature offers recording and playback within the form, abilities to rerecord and download the recorded file.

How to Use the Audio Field

To use the Audio field in your digital forms, simply navigate to the Template Editor and drag and drop an Audio field onto your desired form Template (make sure to Save and Publish the completed digital form Template). When you’re ready to make an audio recording, simply tap on the digital field type and press the play button when you are ready to begin.

Use Cases for Job Site Data Collection

Audio recordings can benefit many aspects of collecting data in the field. Here are a few examples:

• Incident Reporting: Use audio recordings to document incidents, allowing users to provide detailed descriptions in their own words without typing.

• Field Reports: Field workers and inspectors can use Audio fields to capture verbal descriptions or observations, offering a faster and more efficient alternative to typing detailed reports.

• Voice Memos: Users can record voice memos to share detailed explanations, feedback, or comments, offering a convenient alternative to typing — especially on mobile devices where typing can be challenging.
