Audio Recorder can be used when a school needs to record computer microphone or speaker activity on monitored student computers. Use this only where it is allowed by school policy and local law.

Typical use cases include:
- Recording language lab speaking exercises.
- Checking audio from supervised online learning sessions.
- Keeping a record when a classroom incident needs later review.
