Record sound directly in the field with your NaturaList application. As it happens with images, the sound will be linked to an observation and its details.
As a call and/or song may be unpredictable, there is a quick access to camera and microphone that allows you to record sound before entering place and species. It is still possible to do it the standard way as you enter the observation.
Sound can be recorded at two different stages:
· as additional information after entering the observation (see wiki section Mobile interface > Enter independent observations > Plus > Media for details.
· before entering the observation (see below for details).
Except for some protocols (requires special rights to access them), it is currently not possible to do playback from NaturaList.
To record sound before entering your observation:
1. Open NaturaList as usual.
2. Use quick key 
to open the sound recorder.
Media. Quick access.
1. Record a sound: Click to open the sound recorder.
2. Add a photo: Click to open the camera.
It is not possible to upload a file from your document: please add it to an observation with the detail panel "Media".

to start recording.
4. Stop the record at any point with the stop button 
.
