You can add audio to your files and documents using the Audio Recording tool.
What is Audio Recording?
The Audio Recording tool allows you to record audio while you are writing or revising your notes and gives you the ability to listen back while simultaneously watching your ideas come to life with Note Replay. This tool can help you avoid missing important information in lectures, review the context behind your notes or leave your own commentary on your notes.
What is Note Replay?
Note Replay is a built-in feature of Audio Recording and will allow your notes to come to life as you listen back to your recordings.
While you are recording audio, any annotations or notes you make will also be recorded and synchronised with your recording. Playing back your recording will then simultaneously play back your notes.
