Recording Audio

[jsburnett]

Hi,

I am hoping to get some help with a hopefully simple problem. And I have tried to look for answers first in the dictonary and searching this forum.

I am trying to make a stack that allows you to record brief audio "comments" on a card associated with text (i.e., flash cards text notes and with audio notes).

I tried the 'record sound file (filePath)'. No file is created. The result is an error (I believe '-213', from my memory).
Quicktime is installed. I have a working microphone and I have set the input to external microphones per the documentation in the dictionary.

Any suggestions?

Does anyone know of or has a stack that I can look at the scripts to study?

Thank you in advance.

John

John...

Attached a very basic stack that allows you to record and then play the created file.. It will hopefully point you in the right direction..

be well

Dixie,

Hi. Thanks for your prompt reply.

When I try to run basicRecord file, I get an error that "There was a problem opening that stack: file is not a stack".

Anything I am doing wrong?

I've 'extracted' the file.

Thanks.

Hi,

Dixie,

I looked at the scripts in your stack.

They are similar to what i tried.

The "start recording file "Test" - doesn't always consistently 'work'. No file is often 'created'. Was wondering if anyone else has had this issue and found a work around.

Thanks.

Hi John,

set the script of the "Start" btn to this script:

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
   ask file "save as:"
   if it = empty then exit mouseup
   put it into tFile
   record sound file tFile
end mouseUp

Best regards

John,

I'm looking at how to record audio also with the iPhone. Were you successful with this?

Thanks,

Warren
