remote testing with sound recordings

Marjolaine

Hi

I would like to use the web version of Open Sesame for remote testing. Specifically, kids will perform picture and digit naming as well as reading tasks. I need to record vocal responses (from the image/digit/word apparition on screen to the end of the vocal response). Is it something possible with the web version?

If yes, how and where will be stored the sound files?

Many thanks! 

Marjolaine

Hi Marjolaine,

Accessing the microphone during the experiment could be possible, but it is far from trivial. As far as I know there are no ready scripts for that flying around in the forum, but if you are javascript savvy, you can try your luck with googling the problem.

See for example:

• https://forum.cogsci.nl/discussion/6344/recording-verbal-responses
• https://medium.com/@bryanjenningz/how-to-record-and-play-audio-in-javascript-faa1b2b3e49b

jsPsych seems to also be busy with this functionality: https://github.com/jspsych/jsPsych/issues/494

but it doesn't seem to be implemented yet.

Good luck,

Eduard

(btw. I just did a superficial search on the forum, you might find other discussions dealing with that issue)
