Sample Task One

Sample Task #1: Describing Animals

This sample task demonstrates the audio recorder tool feature. In tasks of this type, participants are presented with a prompt (an image, a video, an audio clip, or text) and are asked to interact with the prompt by recording their response with the audio recorder tool. The task could ask the participant to record themselves describing an image, reading a given word or sentence out loud, telling a story, etc.

The step-by-step guide below provides instructions on how to build the “Describing Animals" task found in the EXAMPLE PROJECT.
