Microphone capture in HTML5

Question

Is there a way yet to access microphone in HTML5/ JavaScript?

It is planned for audio streaming, not recording. So nothing with writing to a file etc., but just streaming microphone input.

There is an Audio API and getUserMedia(). At the moment, getting audio doesn't seem possible. Is there a way or a workaround?

Answer 1

If you add "x-webkit-speech" to your input field I believe all web kit browsers will add the HTML5 audio icon which enables audio input.

<input type="text" name="query" spellcheck="false" placeholder="Search the Site" tabindex="1" x-webkit-speech>
