jsPsych is a JavaScript framework for creating behavioral experiments that run in a web browser.

## Plugin Description

The html-audio-response plugin displays HTML content and records audio from the participant via a microphone. In order to get access to the microphone, use the [initialize-microphone plugin](https://www.jspsych.org/7.3/plugins/initialize-microphone/) before this plugin.

The audio data is recorded in base 64 format, which is a text representation of the audio that may be converted into others. Note that this plugin will _quickly_ generate large amounts of data, so if a large amount of audio needs to be recorded, consider storing the data on a server immediately and deleting it from the data object (This is shown in the documentation link below).

## Examples

Several example experiments and plugin demonstrations are available in the `/examples` folder.
After you've downloaded the [latest release](https://github.com/jspsych/jsPsych/releases), double-click on an example HTML file to run it in your web browser, and open it with a programming-friendly text editor to see how it works.
