The audio capture question type allows respondents to capture a moment or record an audio of a specific event. It allows the respondent to record an audio of a set length, up to ten minutes maximum. For example, respondents can capture an audio of their first impression after tasting/trying a new product. The question text is limited to 150 characters; a counter shows the number of remaining characters available. This question requires permission to use the microphone of the device, this will work with and without headphones.
