I think I understand what you want to do. Can you confirm that you want the following flow:

- The user hits the record button and records an audio.
- The transcript of the audio is displayed on-screen (ideally in the text entry component).
- The user can edit the text directly inside the text entry component.
- The user submits the forms.

That is correct.

I’ve set this up before, but my flow was slightly different. I would say my flow was not as nice as yours, but simpler.

My flow:

- User clicks a button which opens a form screen.
- User records an audio only.
- User submit form.
- The audio is transcribed by Glide AI and displayed.
- User can now click on the item (again) to edit it. This opens a edit screen (overlay or slide-in). User saves the edits. Here you’ll need 2 extra columns: an basic text to write edits to and if-then-else to display either the original transcript or the edited version.

My flow has many clicks you might not want, but there’s nothing complicated about it, because it does things step by step: Open form screen → Submit audio → Edit item → Write and save an edit → Display either the original transcript or the edited version.

Your flow is much nicer, but you are attempting to open a form, submit an audio, edit the transcript and submit all in one go. You would need to create a custom form for this and I avoid these.

Here are a few screenshots of how I set it up:

Thanks. I will take a look at this.

I was able to use the copy to clipboard feature then use the Paste to place the “audio to text” in the cell. Thanks for your time and effort.

I think an alternative is if you set up a custom form, you can use a set column action to set the transcript to a user-specific column, then allow the user to edit it before submission.
