stopping voice response recording with spacebar

    stopping voice response recording with spacebar

    After reading text, we would like to record subjects' recall of the text using the voice response option (.wav file). How do we program DirectRT to stop recording and to move on to the next passage when the subject presses the spacebar? Using the fixed time method is not practical, since the lengths of responses will vary greatly between subjects. Thanks!

    We are looking to do something similar in an experiment -- recording a response until a subject presses a key to designate he/she is finished instead of using a fixed time -- and any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    OK, I've updated the 2006 version so it will do this. As of 2006.2.13, you can try adding a valid keycode to a fixed length voice RT--hitting that key will end the recording. For details, see:

    Let me know how it goes,

    It is shown in http://www.empirisoft.com/support/showthread.php?p=670#post670 how to implement manual recording times for example

    rt:57,aud,rec,5000
    but if I replace the code for the space bar with the code for a mouse click (i.e., replace 57 with 252 for example), then the manual recording time functionality doesn't work.

    Is there a way to have manual recording times with the mouse?

    Thank you for your time
