Trial and Error • Printing Separately • Gluing onto construction paper with distort the QR code, and not allow it to be read. • Recording • Sometimes when listening to your unsaved/untitled recording it will become distorted. • Option 1: Go ahead and title it, then listen to it. Sometimes it will save fine, but not initially replay correctly. • Option 2: Record it again, after closing the browser and reopening the browser.
