Start audio recording (FR)

Perfecto Command

mobile:audio.recording:start

Purpose

Starts recording the audio output from the device and creates a WAV file. The file is saved in the media storage server. A URL to the file location is returned in the response to the command and, if supplied, in the Result variable supplied as a parameter.

To hear the audio when using Start Audio in the Perfecto Automation IDE, you need to use the Open Device command and the parameter "Audio Recording" should be set to TRUE.

Important: The audio file is not available until after the Stop audio recording command is completed.

Restriction: For devices connected to the Enhanced Video Solution (Distributor = MacCam), it will not be possible to record audio during a phone call. Although the start audio recording command will succeed, the resulting recording will be "blank" and will contain no audio. This is due to a limitation where the audio is played through an internal device speaker and cannot be captured by the system.

Parameters

None

Return Value

URL of the audio file that will be created.
