in-browser real-time audio input options?

Question

Are there any? I'm looking for some way to plug in a microphone to a computer and access the stream in real time to do analysis and visualization for display and interaction in-browser (preferably cross-browser). Any recommendations or pointers toward toolkits or examples would be appreciated--

Thanks!

Answer 1

You would need to run inside some type of plug-in. Some options:

• Flash has access to the microphone (see the Actionscript Microphone object).
• Silverlight has microphone access as of version 4.
• A signed java applet can also access the microphone.
