  • 0

We have a VoIP application imVOX, and we are looking at various ways of expanding our reach. Part of that is writing an HTML5 application, but it requires the use of audio input from the browser (and also push to talk buttons from the browser, even if another app is focused).

On the audio side, with HTML5 is there any way of taking audio input from the browser to compress and send to our servers? I know with Flash such is possible, but we’re trying to avoid flash for mobile compatibility and generally looking toward the future.

    Webcam and Microphone support is not a feature of the HTML 5 spec

    New APIs

    In addition to specifying markup,
    HTML5 specifies scripting application
    programming interfaces (APIs).
    Existing document object model (DOM)
    interfaces are extended and de facto
    features documented. There are also
    new APIs, such as:

    • The canvas element for immediate mode
    • 2D drawing Timed media playback
    • Offline storage database (offline web
    • applications) Document editing
    • Drag-and-drop Cross-document
    • messaging (web messaging) Browser
    • history management MIME type and
    • protocol handler registration.
    • Microdata

    Some of the new features are part of
    HTML5 mainly because there are no
    volunteers to split HTML5 and maintain
    separate specifications of these
    features.
