# Audio input

The *audio-recorder.* It is used to record snippets of audio and send them.

An example on how to use it is:

```python
form_groups = {
    'Audio recorder': [
        {
            'mapping': 'voice',
            'fieldName': 'Audio recorder',
            'inputType': 'audio',
        }
    ]
}
s.plt.generate_input_form_groups(
    order=0, form_groups=form_groups
)
```

results in:
