IMPORTANT NOTES
— On first use, allow microphone access when your browser prompts you.
— After frontend submission, users are redirected to their audio list (or your custom URL).
— Frontend creation is restricted to logged-in users by default. Use logged-in-only="false" to open it to guests.
— For recordings longer than ~10 minutes, Firefox is recommended over Chrome due to browser memory limits.*
(*) Recording limit in the Pro version is bounded by your browser’s cache memory: tested up to ~13 min in Chrome and ~32 min in Firefox. For longer recordings, split into multiple parts.
(**) Refund requires demonstrating the issue.
(***) Buy 2 licenses for 4–6 live sites, 3 licenses for 7–9, and so on.
