Hi,  
Instead of typing text into a field of a form, I would like to let the user record a short audio that is added to the form as a file.  
Has anyone tried this?  
Thanks.  
Yves

Hey, [@Yves\_LAURISSE](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/828977) 👋 Thanks for your post. I have a few questions to give our community members more information:

- Will you be using a custom-coded form and the Forms API?
- How are you planning on handling the recording functionality?
  - Will you use something like the [**MediaRecorder API**](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/MediaRecorder), for example?

Thanks for the additional information! — Jaycee

Hi Jaycee,  
Thanks for getting back to me.  
1) I thought it would be difficult to add an audio field/controls within an existing form, so I was planning to copy the content of an existing form into a new module. I don’t know if this is what you call a ‘custom coded form’.  
2) I started using RecordRTC.js but ran into some difficulties when trying to save the audio as a file before adding it to a field.  
Regards  
Yves
