Create a new record on the apple watch 5

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I created a new table “AudioLog” for a new idea: I want to log audio information with the apple watch 5. My table has a field with date and time, a shot description (to fill in later) and a audio field. When I start the app on the watch with my table “AudioLog” an I press a button (<- that is the question, how I can realize start and stop/save on the watch with Tap Forms), then a new audio file will created an I can dictate my observation. When I press again, recording stops and save the audiofile and the table record.

How can I create the start stop save function on the apple watch 5?

Thanks for helping.

Hi Jürgen,

I don’t even know how to start an audio recording. Could kindly explain how you go about it?

Thanks

I have not added the ability to create records or record audio on the Apple Watch version of Tap Forms. The Apple Watch app is read-only.

… and that means that Audio playback, too, is still in the making?

Ya. I haven’t implemented audio playback on the Watch at the moment. Sorry.

Hi wainer lich,

i would like to use the watch’s microphone to voice a message or observation. Tapforms generates a data record with the date and time and stores the voice message on the data record.

But, Brendan answered, that TapForms on the apple watch is only read only. I have to look for another software to do this.

Behind the idea is: I’m a bus driver in the city of Fuerth, Germany. It is not allowed to use a smartphone at work behind the steering wheel. Occasionally there are incidents that I need for reports. It would be a smart solution to record the observations in a timely manner.

I thought, TapForms could be a helper….

I tried something here with Siri Shortcuts and trying to marshal data with the clipboard but didn’t get very far. I could get Siri to capture some voice text and location data without too many issues, I can put it into a JSON object on the clipboard and if I run the form script directly in Tap Forms it seems to work. However as soon as I go “Hey Siri” I get an error saying the app took too long and I suspect the clipboard isn’t accessible from the intent. If there was a version of the Run Script intent that accepted a simple text input then I could use that with JSON.parse to manage structured data.
