OSWeb support for sound recorder?
Dear all,
Covid-19, apart from all health consequences, is also having an impact on research projects with human participants. Many of my participants are pulling out of studies from (understandable) fear to be contaminated...
There is no solution for eye-tracking or other complex experiments, but I was contemplating adjusting some of my and my students' simple behavioral experiments to an online format so that participants (children in my case) could participate from home (with their parents' help).
Since I am using OpenSesame, I contemplated using the OSWeb to export them to JATOS. However, it seems that it does not (yet) support the sound recorder tool -so I can´t record the participants' verbal responses to a task.
Are there any plans for implementing that? Any other ideas? (e.g. calling an external sound recorder and somehow storing files in a Cloud...)
Thanks for any feedback / suggestion

Hi Alexandra,
Currently there are no plans for an Osweb implementation of the sound recorder. In fact, we would sooner work on improving this plugin for OpenSesame itself as it is severely outdated and in dire need of an update.
Or you could use pure JATOS and upload your recorded sounds via file uploads. There is the "Video Recording" example in http://www.jatos.org/Example-Studies.html that you can use as an template. But of course, this would involves some programming and is less comfortable than OSWeb.
Dear @Daniel, dear @kri, Thank you very much for your response! I will have a look at JATOS, thanks!
Hi all,
@alexkarousou did you find a way to record the participants responses?
If yes, would you be willing to share it with me?
I also need to test kids from home on naming and reading tasks.
Many Thanks! Marjolaine

I apologize for the big delay; I just saw your comment :(
