Thanks to @tatiang I managed to get my voice recording \> GPT-3 app working OK but right now it’s only doing fixed (hardcoded) 5 second recordings. I’d like it to adjust the length of the recording dynamically based on incoming sound. ![Thunk1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/4/1/41edce63c93fe9dd11ca22eb5f660cbaa659df56.jpeg) I thought I’d read somewhere that this was possible using the untimed recording (just a start recording block) but if I add a Start Recording and then try to upload the file from the stopped recording in the next block the recording just starts and then stops instantly. ---

I reported this bug a while ago and you were part of the community topic linked to in that bug report. Is this a different issue or the same? > > > \### Platform > Drag and Drop UI - iOS > > \### Steps to Reproduce > 1. Please see th…e project link below and the community topic link. > > \### Expected Behavior > Sound recording to complete when there is a pause in audio input. > > \### Actual Behavior > Either the sound recording block fails by freezing and not producing a "do" section trigger or the block fails by stopping immediately even with audio input.

Oh sorry I misunderstood. I found the post where you suggested it but obviously hadn’t found the one where you reported it. Shame, that functionality is pretty much what I need. I take it there’s no way to simulate it? ---

@nathanburley21656 would you please share a screnshot of start audio recording? The function. Or you can check it over yourself. Im thinking somethings wrong there. But @tatiang yes, it _may_ be a bug. There could be two reasons why. ---
