Thank you @simosimi993

Actually this is a know defact caused by the fact that the Tor browser do not support the WebAudio API because it would enable browser fingeprinting: https://fingerprint.com/blog/audio-fingerprinting/

@msmannan00 @gianlucagilardi @ danielvaknine @rglauco @larrykind: what do you recommend to handle this incompatibility?

Maybe we could find a way to show a text area as alternative to the voice when users visit a questionnaire that includes voice questions?

There is not much that can be done. You could just have a warning that Tor Browser users cannot file voice reports. From a compliance standpoint it works anyway, since you just need to have a voice message system and Tor access is not a legal requirement. I guess it can be handled at a questionnaire level, e.g., in my template I have a second questionnaire step asking for the kind of submission (voice/writing) which then triggers conditionally the following step. I'd just add a disclaimer at the time of the choice, so that the whistleblower using Tor Browser can choose either to continue using that browser to file a written report or switch to another browser to file an oral report.
