## How to add a voice recording field

On the left-hand panel of your form, click `Voice recording`. Then, type your question or instruction.

That's it! `Publish` your form and share the link to your respondents.

### Upload limits

Voice recording limits match your plan’s [file upload allowance](https://www.fillout.com/help/file-upload#upload-limits), as long as usage is within our [**fair use policy**](https://www.fillout.com/help/fair-use-policy).

|                                | **Free**    | **Starter** | **Pro**     | **Business** | Enterprise | **Team**   |
| ------------------------------ | ----------- | ----------- | ----------- | ------------ | ---------- | ---------- |
| Max recording size per upload  | Up to 20 MB | Up to 20 MB | Up to 20 MB | Up to 1 GB   | Up to 5 GB | Up to 1 GB |
| No. of file recordings allowed | Unlimited   | Unlimited   | Unlimited   | Unlimited    | Unlimited  | Unlimited  |

### Why There’s No Fixed Time Limit

The **length of a recording in minutes is variable** because the final file size depends on multiple factors including but not limited to:

* Audio quality – higher quality (higher bitrate, sample rate) produces larger files for the same duration
* background noise & complexity – Recordings with more complex sounds can result in slightly larger file sizes than simple voices.

Because of these variables, we can’t define a universal “minutes limit,” only the maximum file size for each plan.

## Enable auto-transcribe

Click the <Icon icon="gear-complex" iconType="solid" /> of your question to open the right-hand panel. Under **AI Transcription**, toggle the `Enable transcription` switch.

## Referencing voice recordings

Both audio files and written transcriptions can be used in your preferred [integration](/help/integrations) when mapping fields. You can also set up [logic](/help/page-logic) to show only relevant pages based on your respondent's answers.

<Check>
  Respondents can listen to their voice recordings while filling out the form and view transcripts. They can also pause, delete, or make new recordings, and edit transcripts if needed.
