Question

I am currently searching for a tool that will allow a user to make and save recordings in an MVC3 Application.

I know this can be accomplished by using Silverlight, Flash, or ActiveX methods, however I was interested if it could be done in an easy/elegant method.

Ideally the workflow would function as follows:

• User clicks the Record button.
• If user has a microphone, recording begins, otherwise user is notified that recording is not possible
• User clicks the Record button to stop recording
• User is prompted to save the recording

If anyone knows of any tools to easily integrate into an MVC application, or perhaps something that will point me in the right direction, it would be appreciated.

Answer 1

If by elegant you mean pure javascript I am afraid that this is not possible. You will need to use a client side plugin. Here’s an example of audio recorder with Silverlight.
