I’m trying to build a web application for iPhone and Android that deals with audio input.
Is this possible?
Apparently … yes, or it should be able to when it’s finished at least. It will supposedly become possible using the device API which is due to be part of HTML5 when it’s finished and released (HTML5 isn’t finalised yet however, and information is subject to potential for change).
W3C Device API Requirements (camera section)
Sony Erricson community blog posting, with examples (pre-final API)
While it isn’t explicitly mentioned in the W3C spec, audio recording as part of (web)camera interactions is, so it’s definitely hopeful. There seems to be a shortage of good information at this stage though. I’d expect to see more as HTML5 comes closer to being finalised.
