Hello
I am looking to develop an image recognition task that can run in a browser on a tablet. I want to use Pavlovia to manage this experiment. The goal would be to redirect my participants via a link in the MyCap application with their correct identifiers.
The task would involve a voice recording specifying which image should be selected, followed by the participant tapping to validate their choice.
I’m concerned that my experiments might not run on tablets and/or that using touch interactions to perform the task could be problematic. I was wondering if there are tools available to address these issues in case it doesn’t work.
Tablets and mobile devices are fine so long as your experiment isn’t too resource intensive.
An experiment where you play a wav / mp3 file, show some images and record a mouse (touchscreen) response should be no problem.
My experience is that touchscreen interactions work better on mobile devices than locally (where you have to “stroke” the screen or use a coded method to check for the mouse position rather than a click).

Thank you! You’re the GOAT—your help on this forum is always amazing.
Do you recommend using JavaScript for better performance? Should I use any specific plugins or libraries? Do you have examples of projects that have used this kind of technology?

Start by writing it in PsychoPy Builder with no code components based on a mouse response. In the latest version you might be able to specify which image is correct.
As described your experiment seems very simple.
Have a spreadsheet with a column containing the relative path to the sound file and columns for the image files.
If you get stuck then create a new thread relating to the specific error.
