Audio QR Codes for Worksheets and Classrooms
An audio QR code on a worksheet lets a student hear the teacher without the teacher standing next to them. You record the instructions, the reading passage or the listening exercise, print the small code on the page, and the student points a phone or tablet camera at it. The recording plays in the browser, no app and no login for the student. Teachers use it for listening tasks, pronunciation models, reading aloud for early readers, and homework a parent can play at home.
Free forever while it gets scanned. Make it permanent once for $4.99.
- No “Made with qrforprint” line on the page

Put a recording on a worksheet in three steps
- 01
Press Record on this page and read the passage or the instructions, or upload an MP3 or M4A. One recording per code keeps the worksheet simple; a permanent code can hold up to ten recordings for a whole unit.
- 02
Create a free account and save the audio code. Name it after the worksheet so you find it again next term.
- 03
Download the code and place it on the worksheet next to the task. Print it at least 2 cm wide, test it with your own phone, and photocopy as usual: the code survives a photocopier.
Where people use it
Listening exercises
The dialogue or the dictation sits behind the code. Each student plays it at their own pace, with headphones, as many times as they need.
Early readers
The teacher reads the passage aloud once. The code on the page lets the child hear it again at home, with the parent following along.
Instructions for substitutes and parents
Record how the task works. A substitute teacher or a parent scans the code and hears exactly what you meant.
What the student sees when they scan
Scanning opens a plain page with a player and the recording. The page has no ads, sets no cookies, and shows nothing else. On a permanent code your title and a short written note appear above the player, for example the task number.
A whole unit behind one code
A free code plays one recording. A permanent code, $4.99 paid once, holds up to ten recordings behind the same code, each with its own name. Track 1 to track 10 of a listening unit fit behind one printed code at the top of the worksheet.
Reuse next year
A free code stays active as long as it is scanned at least once every 12 months, so a worksheet used every year keeps working. A permanent code has no inactivity rule, and you can replace the recording without reprinting the sheets.
Privacy in the classroom
Only you, the teacher, need an account. Students scan and listen, nothing is collected from them, and the page sets no cookies. The recording is reachable by anyone with the code or the link, so do not record names or grades.

No. The camera on a phone or tablet reads the code, the page opens in the browser and the recording plays. Only the teacher needs a free account.
Can I record directly here?＋
Yes. Press Record on this page, speak, listen back and use the recording. The browser saves it as MP3. Uploading an MP3 or M4A also works.
How long can a recording be?＋
A free code holds a file up to 5 MB, about ten minutes of speech. A permanent code holds up to 20 MB per recording.
Can one code hold several tracks?＋
On a permanent code, yes: up to ten recordings behind one code, each with its own name. A free code plays one recording.
Does the code still work after photocopying?＋
Yes, if it is printed at least 2 cm wide with a clear margin. Scan a photocopy once before you hand out the class set.
What does it cost?＋
Free codes are free. $4.99 paid once makes one code permanent, and the 5 code pack is $22.99 paid once. There is no subscription and no per student fee.
