The Voice Transcription component allows users to record audio and create text transcriptions instantly. This can be useful for field inspections, incident reports, customer interviews, or documenting operational procedures on the go.
Unlike the standalone Record and Transcribe Voice action, this component comes with the action already configured and ready to use in your app.
Setting up the Voice Transcription Component
When you add a Voice Transcription component in Glide it will automatically choose a column from your data to store the transcribed text. The component will also automatically set the component title to “Record voice” and the hint text to “Record or type.” These configurations can all be changed by editing the component settings on the right-hand side.
In the Layout Editor
Add the Voice Transcription component to your screen by clicking the "+" button.
Click on the default Record and transcribe voice action to adjust its settings. These changes are all optional.
Name the action.
Choose an icon.
Select the column where you want to save the transcribed text. If you do not already have a column, create a column in the Data Editor that can store text.
Change the Title for the recording screen.
Change the Placeholder text for the transcription area.
Toggle Auto-record on if you want recording to start automatically when the action is triggered.
Add Visibility Conditions if needed.
Click away to exit the configuration.
