Can anyone suggest how to record microphone audio to a website using html5 and javascript

Question

I want to record audio using javascript and html5, there is a device element in html5, but I do not know how to use it. No examples were found for this.

Answer 1

There is no stable browser supported stream API (formally known as <device> ), so in practice, you cannot. The consequence of this is the lack of use cases.

If you want to play with it, you should use the Chrome development branches. Here is a demo version of voice input .

Answer 2

A quick search returned https://labs.ericsson.com/developer-community/blog/beyond-html5-audio-capture-web-browsers , which contains the device element that you mentioned.
